Well, my insurance company and bank agreed with the surveyor so I
had to make the change.

your surveyor was wrong. Copper is fine. What is not fine is unsupported
runs
of copper.

Be careful about running copper. It is subject to fatigue due to
vibration. Our surveyor made us remove all of it and replace
it with approved rubber hose.

Well, since that time, three surveyors have said the same thing.
I don;t seem to have much say on it.

Thanks. I am aware of this, and the copper is only at fully supported
mounts on the sides of the locker, bulkheads, etc. The stove end is
about 18" of pressure hose to accommodate the gimballing stove top.

But I may look into all rubber anyway, as I haven't fitted it yet and
can use the copper elsewhere.
