The range I am installing says to use a ‘commercial’ flex line. Is that a different size/material/code spec what? I found a flex line in stainless made by Dormont and the rest are hardward store types with coating over the flex. What is best for behind a range?

You know that ugly yellow pipe going up the outside of your chimney?
That's what we used for flex's on the gas cook tops in that condo project.
Reson , they were passing through a cabinet wall, & the inspector said we could not use an appliance flex.
The commercial flex's I have, have an integrated "kill" valve incase of a fire, or an earthquake,
The coated SS you get in the box stores work just fine.
Just make sure it meet sthe BTU requirement.
If your range has a 3/8" connection then the 1/2"male by 3/8" female styl flex is fine, but if you have a 1/2" connection then I would use the 3/4" x 1/2" appliance connector.

1/2" ID flex is usually going to have a fitting on the end that looks similar to that tub fitting you have.
