Question:

Is it safe to run gas pipe this way?

The kitchen is in the middle of the whole house so there‘s no good way to get at it, and the house is built on a concrete slab. Trying to run a gas line from outside to the stove. We need to go through a few walls to get there. Was going to do the whole job with a single length of flexible copper pipe, but that would mean running the pipe along all the electrical wires and next to all the switches and lightboxes. I was told this was an invitation to explosion.

Answer:

You can run the gas pipe ouside the house, and make just make one hole for it to come into the Kitchen. This is quite legal and even freezing weather will not affect the gas supply. Fit pipe brackets every 5 feet apart. half inch pipe. (Copper)
No copper pipe. Black iron threaded pipe only.
They have methods of tunneling underneath and snaking the line through the kitchen floor. Then another way, you can always go above in the attic crawlspace if you have enough tubing.
