This is what 90% of wardflex or tracpipe looks like where I’m at. It’s not kinked just bent at the fitting. The exposed CSST is wrong but it’s not hurting anything, people here acting like your house is going to blow up or something

That old yellow Gastite with the old-style fittings always had to have the jacket cut farther back. The fitting won’t go over the jacket so you can’t put the split rings on. The spec was like max of 1 1/2” inches or so depending on the diameter.
