My husband and I just followed your directions step by step and we are literally “cooking with gas”!!!! Thank you for being so thorough!!! You guided us from beginning to end. I can’t thank you enough ❤
I have to tackle this project tomorrow on a new range I purchased. This definitely helped confirm what I watched in another video. When it comes to gas, you almost want to treat it like a doctor...get a second opinion just to make sure you know what you're doing and what to expect while doing it.
You have to put the actual soapy liquid on the joints, then look for bubbles. Don't put bubble on the joints. If there are bubbles that means there's a leak.
Ease up on the pipe dope that’s bound to create an issue. And channel locks on a smooth nut is a no no, the ridges on the jaws made of extremely hard metal will chew up the softer metal. Other than that, keep up the good work and keep on learning. Cheers man
On the Brass Craft web site, they suggest of not using more than 25 Newton meter of torque when tightening their fittings. It requires some force but not crazy tight. To give a reference: car's oil filter housing cap and the oil pan plug require to be torqued also at 25 NTM. So if you did an oil change job, it is that kind of effort.
Low pressure is sch40 Black Iron. No galvanized. The stuff they galvanize pipe with is toxic if it passes through a burner. Looks like that setup in the picture is 3/4 out of the wall reduced to 1/2. You can get shutoffs that are pipe threaded on one end and flared on the other
I have an awkward situation here I got the new Samsung stove but the old pipe is so tight the guys who came to install could not turn the valve is there any solution. He is telling me to move the whole pipe line and I m in middle of new cabinet already installed.
Help , I want to disconnect a gas hob , I don't want to connect a replacement hob , There is no red nob to turn off the gas supply to the hob , looks like a brass nut from hob and one from gas supply screwed together . .. I only have a gas shut off nob at side of my gas meter
@@j.ryankellner5131 I was wondering,i am gonna install one of these on my water heater and the hose i bought came with that safety valve whatnot, the hose i bought is not super short but "just about right" , my setup is.... i have a a galvanized pipe coming out of the wall,2 feet or so long,then i have the gas valve, then a nipple about 5 inches long and a elbow going up that was attached to a million other pieces of pipe (the main reason why i want to go with the hose). It would really help me to install that safety valve on the elbow, can i do this or does that safety valve have to be connected directly to the gas valve? i can do it like this but it would be pushing it on my hose length, thank you for any input you might have, i think you helped me on another video the other day also,getting to be a habit, sorry.
If he wasn't as careful, the conversation COULD BE: Where did POOLARITY go?? BLOWED UP SIR!!! He forgot to soap up the gas fittings! LOL, nice job on the video!!
That much pipe dope will eventually clog the gas valve. You shouldn't have any pipe dope on the last two threads, you can't allow that stuff to get inside the pipe. I replaced a lot of gas valves and about half of them are stuck shut. Sometimes they get stuck open. And you definitely dont want that. This i would not diy
OMG I have that exact same stove. I bought it from Home Depot. Or was it Best Buy? And your kitchen looks just like mine. With the Subway tiles, 😃 great minds think alike right?
i don't think this is the right way to install a gas line. first there is no need to use so much pipe dope, there is no need to tighten the hose fittings over tight, how are you going to run the gas line so it doesn't kink or rub on something.
The gas line I believe you are referring to is a flexible appliance connector it shouldn't be kinkable an it doesn't matter if it rubs up against anything just as long as it doesn't conflict with your range being able to be installed all the way in.
Next time Don't forget to put Roach glue around the Digital board behind the stove. And around The bottom perimeter walls and Mice poison behind the stove. 😮
The amount of pipe dope on those threads is quite ridiculous, you brush on about 1/4 of that in the video. You're going to clog that gas line with that much. As far as the leak check, get yourself an eye dropper or a bulb syringe, fill with soapy water and drop on connections, if it's leaking you'll see it quickly. All those bubbles I don't see how you can see anything especially if there were a leak, you'd be looking for bubbles inside of bubbles which seems odd and difficult. Other than that, not a bad video.
I looked it up. Times are a changing They have new stuff now a days. I suppose the stuff I used is equal to your brand "Hercules 15620 1/2PT RealTuf T Sealant"
@@GrippersByLucy Had a gas range start leaking from the regulator that wasnt even two years old. Warranty only lasted one year. Ran into a lot of difficulties fixing it so I just bought a new stove.
you painted WAY TOO MUCH of that black paste. Hope most of it squeezed outside of the pipe, you may have an eventual pipe clog problem. The space between the teeth metal is not that much. Over-pasting here is NOT smart.
@vids: Give the dude a break. technically; channel lock pliers are used to tighten something, which by definition is a wrench. I understood what he was saying and that is the important part. If you really want to pick the fly S#!t out of the pepper, They aren't really channel lock pliers unless they made by Channel Lock, the real term is Water Pump Pliers. wrench; noun : a hand or power tool for holding, twisting, or turning an object (such as a bolt or nut) BTW it was a great video for someone that doesn't know how to install a gas flex tube.
Doamne ferește un dobitoc pasta trebuie la fiecare filetare,prostul a pus pasta la filetul de înbinare aragazului.Unde este pasta filetul de furtun,uare nu trebuie unse toate părțile de filet.racordorul de la gaz are două părți una pentru aragaz și una pentru furtun,deci racordoru are două înbinări exterioare .
This guy is obviously not a professional plumber? That's a ridiculous amount of sealant. You're applying 500 times the amount that's actually being used. "Painting a Picasso"??? Damn liberals. Looks like something my 3 year old would do. Refer to the professionals. Lot of these guys just like to sound like they know what the hell they're doing, which could cause great harm to people who listen to them in some cases.
This channel is Made for the little guy DIY-er who doesn't want to get ripped off at $300 per hour by a below average plumber. By definition 50% of plumbers would be below average. The chances of hiring a top 25% plumber is 25%. And top 25% is not top 10%, the odds are way against. Why most people rather do it themselves.
Yes he may of used alot of pipe dope but any access that was used would sit at the entry point of the appliance regulator so it wouldn't matter and a little FYI I'm not a professional plumber either I'm a professional Gas Man for the past 28 years. His video is laid out for a homeowner who would fell comfortable enough to attempt this that's all. 😎👍
Not exaggerating, just giving people my point of view from the 4, 5 times I've done this as a DIY-er, of course professionals will have a different perspective because they do these very often
My husband and I just followed your directions step by step and we are literally “cooking with gas”!!!! Thank you for being so thorough!!! You guided us from beginning to end. I can’t thank you enough ❤
Awesome, good teamwork with the hubby! Nice memories!
question, what if the female thread identifies as male
Devin, Brahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Good One.
Then you have to use a left-handed screwdriver
😂😂
Get out of town!
Never been prouder to be a fellow devin

That’s gonna be my strategy as well this is jus first stop
Thx for explaining it in a way people can actually understand!
You have to put the actual soapy liquid on the joints, then look for bubbles. Don't put bubble on the joints. If there are bubbles that means there's a leak.
no, if it BUBBLES then there is a leak. Not "if there are bubbles". Youre going to have bubbles no matter which way you do it because its soapy water.
Doesn't matter. If you put bubbles on a leaking joint, you'll see those bubbles expanding, growing larger.
Just spray windex on the joints. Works well.
Good job, many describe putting dope on the flared end of the fitting which is incorrect
Thank you brother I followed your steps. Still nervous but it’s working so far lol
Checking to make sure you didn't blow up 😮
@@michaelcar9268 well it was my fathers range and I just spoke to him. Still alive 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 🤣
Great video, never use tape or pipe dope on compression fittings , is that right?
Don't use it on the flared part of the fitting. It's ok on the threads.
Can you use Teflon tape instead of thread goop?
Ease up on the pipe dope that’s bound to create an issue. And channel locks on a smooth nut is a no no, the ridges on the jaws made of extremely hard metal will chew up the softer metal. Other than that, keep up the good work and keep on learning. Cheers man
Man I learned the hard way in a screw and a bit
What do you recommend over the channel locks? Wrench?
Heads up. Pro Dope is for NG. Directions explicitly say not to use it for LP gas.
@@kdbwizanything with flat jaws, crescent wrench perhaps
Use yellow teflon tape and dab it up with pipe dope. Never fails. Too much pipe dope can get into the pipe flow itself and then you got issues.
How many wraps you do of the Teflon tape on the pipe?
On the Brass Craft web site, they suggest of not using more than 25 Newton meter of torque when tightening their fittings. It requires some force but not crazy tight.
To give a reference: car's oil filter housing cap and the oil pan plug require to be torqued also at 25 NTM. So if you did an oil change job, it is that kind of effort.

Didn't use tephlon tape, used gas thread sealant
Amazon Thread Sealant - amzn.to/3lxw4th
I was quoted $250 for this kind of work. I think I will do it myself.
My rangetop has a maxitrol regulator before the hose. Is the regulator built into your range?
Great video. Don't be so scared,lol.
Very well done
This was helpful. I didn't fully appreciate the difference of the compression connections and when not to use thread dope.
You Know What They Said No Bubbles No Troubles!!
That bolt or nut at the beginning where you said to brush carefully is stuck and can’t seem to take it off
You don’t want pipe dope inside the gas line, try to avoid the edge of the threads
i have saved £ 100 today and fixed my gas range by watching this video
No sediment trap required?
Simple Green is great for the bubble test part!!
What is the material for the black pipe and the diameter, also do you use galvanized iron schedule 40 for the pipe embeded as gas line?
Low pressure is sch40 Black Iron. No galvanized. The stuff they galvanize pipe with is toxic if it passes through a burner. Looks like that setup in the picture is 3/4 out of the wall reduced to 1/2. You can get shutoffs that are pipe threaded on one end and flared on the other

Wow! You have enough sealer on there for ten fittings! No way do you need it that thick.
Nice. But have you pre-installed the safety connector to the gas outlet before you started the installation ?
He missed the most important step.

Man. Mine did not come with a safety connector.
@@j.ryankellner5131 I really don't get why he skipped this, esp since he keeps saying he's paranoid about safety. It's right there in the kit.
If he wasn't as careful, the conversation COULD BE: Where did POOLARITY go?? BLOWED UP SIR!!! He forgot to soap up the gas fittings! LOL, nice job on the video!!
Do I have to turn the gas off first?
Yes

I replaced a lot of gas valves and about half of them are stuck shut. Sometimes they get stuck open. And you definitely dont want that. This i would not diy
You could also use yellow teflon tape (yellow is gas rated) for the threads. And you can use spray windex for the leak test.
Why is the shut off in the back of the stove? If there’s a gas fire, how are you going to shut it off? I hope there’s a primary shut off close by..
How many BTU have stove?
Thanks so much! Very helpful!
Jesus that's alot of pipe sealant
Great video! Thank you!
question, what if the female thread on the stove was in deep, how would you tighten it? theres literally no room to use pliers or a pipe wrench.
Having a hard time picturing your situation, maybe you need an adapter or extension. With modern stoves, you shouldn't run into that ptoblem
The female thread on the stove is an aluminum appliance regulator if you overtighten your fitting into it you risk damaging the regulator.
That's what she said
Well you Did ok Definitely not a professional bit but you got your job done
excellent video thanks for taking the time to make it -PawPaw
OMG I have that exact same stove. I bought it from Home Depot. Or was it Best Buy? And your kitchen looks just like mine. With the Subway tiles, 😃 great minds think alike right?
EXCUSE ME, I'M FROM VENEZUELA, I DON'T HAVE THE KIT THAT SHOWS IN YOUR VIDEO THE GAS INLET HOLE OF THE SAMSUNG KITCHEN WHAT SIZE IS 1/2?
Great video
I thought you were not supposed to tighten too much.
Excellent tutorial thanks Buddy
Be careful with the "as tight as you can" mention 👌😊
Tighten till you hear a crack, then quarter turn back

You didn't use tape???
I did some research, the paste is safer, better than the tape
@@PoolarityChannel Thanks for responding, but I'm referring to the other connection. No tape or paste?
I have actually gone on service calls for gas leaks and the homeowner didn't even have a nipple he had attached the flex to the wall pipe, oopzy LOL
I always put pipe dope on the inside of the female thread. One of the biggest rookie mistakes out there.
Where is EFV valve???
Thanks. Excellent! I'm confident now.

That black goop doesn't look right. I've only seen white, such as T-Plus 2 etc.

hemp is way better and cleaner than anything modern era instalations industry invented
Thanks
Superb!
I do believe you are using the wrong pipe sealant. Rector Seal is the correct pipe sealant for gas. That or yellow Teflon tape.
That’s simply a brand name. He has the correct sealant-just another brand.
Any pipe dope that is rated for gas application is fine...
You.ll be sorry you bought a Samsung, I know I am .
Amen
Same here. Love their phones, hate their appliances.
@@jer1776what’s wrong
@@GrippersByLucy Had a gas range start leaking from the regulator that wasnt even two years old. Warranty only lasted one year. Ran into a lot of difficulties fixing it so I just bought a new stove.
Way too much pipe dope, more isint better, the extra pipe dope could end up inside the line if you add too much.
Not even a brief mention of a sediment trap or drip line.....................that's why ya hire a plumber.............!
Explain?
Waaay too much pipe dope! If it’s messy, you used too much.
Shoulda used two plumbers wrenches instead of those crescent wrenches
Nah
you painted WAY TOO MUCH of that black paste. Hope most of it squeezed outside of the pipe, you may have an eventual pipe clog problem.
