I was going to seal around a number of sleeved copper pipes where they go through the wall (mixture of gas and water) but noticed the clear silicone I was about to use said not to use with copper.

That leads to what sealant should one use?

Needs to be be fire retardant what ever you use

You may want to seek guidance on wheather it is appropriate to be sealing both the interior and extrior surfaces of the sleeves for the pipes containing gas

That I know, for gas pipe through an exterior wall, the inside. Common sense really, if there is a leak better it goes outside than builds up inside. For interior walls the open end is supposed to be the most used room.

I was just looking for a recommendation as to a brand that would be ok to use with copper.
