I’m new to the forum. I have been lurking on/off for years.
I have an emergency heat propane fireplace. Hasn’t been used since it was installed 8 years ago. I just opened the access panel to the shutoff beside the fireplace and noticed this corrosion? The pipe coming to the fireplace has a shutoff at the other end of the run and has been off since installation/testing. Any thoughts on what might have caused this. The black pipe thru the floor is connected to CSST in the crawl space. Not sure if that matters. Any thoughts?

It has to be moisture. Since it's behind a access door it in a uncondition space. Humidity travels from high to low and heat the same way id check the temperature in that space next winter.
