15 feet of flex is a lot of flex and, I think, against code.

What you should do is measure about 15 times, then 10 or so more times to verify, then go up to the orange box, they'll cut and thread for you. Rent a pair of 18" pipe wrenches while you're there.

Or hire it out, I know it sucks, but they'll do a better job than you and you won't run into problems with legality or blown up houses later.

Oh so I just looked it up, it's CSST flexible hose. My state allows 75 feet for a single run.

Fair enough, I just know we were allowed up to 3 feet for appliance hook up.

As long as the flex can provide the amount of gas the generator needs, seems like you're good to go.
