@DIY_or_DIE - flare fittings do not need - and can be compromised by teflon tape. Please add a warning / note at 3:23 - this is DIY *and* die.

Thank you.This turned out much easier than I thought when I was nervous to start. I appreciate the easy tutorial

[@DIY_or_DIE]

You're welcome! 🫡

I got a recall letter for my propane regulator. Dealer will replace it for free, but I'm full time and stationary and it will be easier and quicker for me to do it myself.
Thanks for the video.. Straight forward.

[@DIY_or_DIE]

Good luck!

Same here I had a wintek 6020 regulator and had not been regulating the pressure and popping off my pigtail due to all the pressure

[@kaitlynrosa1572]

Ah, this is much easier than I thought it would be. Thanks for the video!

[@DIY_or_DIE]

You are welcome, I'm glad it was helpful!

[@chaz4good]

Splendid! Thank you for not wasting time. Straight forward and to the point. 🇺🇸👍

[@DIY_or_DIE]

Glad it was helpful!

[@termiterasin]

Great video, I don't think you are supposed to put teflon tape on the flare side of that fitting.

[@DIY_or_DIE]

Thanks, haven't had any issues with it since so I think it is fine. What is the concern?

[@termiterasin]

@@DIY_or_DIE The flare surface is what's supposed to make the seal. If there aren't any leaks it should be fine.

[@fjb9234]

If you put two much tape on those threads you may feel it tighten on threads and not on the flared sealing surface.

[@NorthGhost539]

Thanks for your help, propane leaks are scary but your video made it easy to swap.

[@DIY_or_DIE]

Thank You

You're welcome, hope it helped!

Where is the link to where you buy this?

[@DIY_or_DIE]

I bought mine off Amazon

[@braylieg9705]

Has anyone does this without the tape?

[@adamr8628]

3:23. "Hand tight" with my wrench...lol...
Hand tight is with your HAND.
Open tanks SLOWLY or the safety valve could trip and cut off propane flow.
Warning should be added to video about no teflon tape on flared fitting.
Otherwise, great video.

You could not be more wrong. Without the proper tools your age engaging in guesswork at best. That’s a terrible way to work with something that is explosive the regulators are not preset. Leak test? And if it leaks where you don’t put soapy water? You know nothing about the system. And never did I say a non working regulator should not be replaced. The point is this video misses critical steps to proper function and safety.

[@DIY_or_DIE]

RV propane regulators are preset by the manufacturer and do not need adjusting. They are designed to be plug and play. Soapy water works just fine for detecting leaks.
The great thing about TH-cam is you can make your own video to educate people if you think there are critical steps missing from this video.

[@Luv2camp316]

@@DIY_or_DIE no they are not. You are wrong. Your video does a good job of explaining how to hook up the hardware but your follow on with what a qualified technician would do is utterly lacking. Slack tubes and manometers are made for a reason. You apparently don’t understand this. your video is shortsighted and dangerous and continuing on with this point of view that you’re trying to push just further emphasizes your ignorance of a process that so critical many states actually require RV technicians to be certified to work on the propane systems. You owe everyone an apology, for not explaining this very critical point in the installation of a regulator.

[@DIY_or_DIE]

@Luv2camp316 Look man, it is very easy to go read the manufactures literature on their products and verify if the RV regulator is pre-set to 11wc outlet pressure. If you want to educate people to use a manometer and adjust a pressure regulator feel free to go make your own videos. There are plenty of other videos by "certified RV techs" confirming what I show in this video.

[@Luv2camp316]

@@DIY_or_DIE you are living proof that any person can make a TH-cam video. It takes a qualified technician to make a proper video. You did not make one. You poo poo what you do not understand, but you clearly don’t have the education to teach people what they need to know in a critical situation, like installing a regulator. I have actually taken the time to educate myself on this to understand its importance, the tools needed, and why it’s done. Please do the same and then fix this.

@Luv2camp316 Thanks for watching my video! God Bless you, and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving 🙏
