Thanks for making this video! I was quoted $2000 + tax to extend/add 3 lines. Much cheaper to DIY if you know what you are doing. Great tips on how to check for leaks. Thanks!
Hey man, this was a pretty well done video. I installed a bunch of gas lines as an industrial pipe fitter when I was younger. It seems like you did a great job both as a home owner and an amateur gas fitter. You had a lot of great tips, including the photo of the gas meter in conjunction with the soap test. I have some tips for you if you're ever interested. Just let me know and keep up the good work!
Great video, The only thing i question is i did not see you put a trap at the furnace connection or at the range ? I believe there needs to be a trap at both locations ? Example, The 45 elbow at the range going up to the range! Should have a tee instead ? the top of the tee would go up to the range and the bottom of the tee should have a 4" nipple with a cap on it creating your trap for debris to fall in to it.
How would you do a trap for a stove if the pipe is coming from an attic furnace and the house is on a slab foundation? Would you put a T right below the stove that's about 8 inches off the ground level and have a 4" capped pipe at the bottom?
I had to put a pressure gauge on the end and wait 24 hours to see if the pressure changed . This was code . A pressure gauge is the most accurate way to tell if its leaking at all .
Hi, thanks for the video. My contractor suggests taking an external line from the gas meter to the kitchen instead of the furnace because of the distance. Is it safe to do it that way. ?
How would you make a 2nd external line from the gas meter, when there is already a line going to the furnace? Is there some type of T fitting that you can connect to the gas meter? Why would adding just a T fitting under the house like he has done hurt the pressure that drastically compared to adding the external line?
I am wanting to do this; I already was given a very nice gas stove for free as my neighbor was upgrading and I just couldn't say no. I've always wanted a gas stove, and this was my opportunity to finally switch. I am glad you mentioned that about Lowes and threading your pipe for you if you have the measurements and such. Under my house the gas line runs right under my kitchen on its way to the furnace. I will just unscrew the line close to under the kitchen or wherever the closest fitting happens to be? Then add a T fitting, connect the old furnace line into the fitting, then get my new threaded gas pipe and install it, correct? What size pipe, or do I just match it up with the same size pipe that runs to my furnace? Also, when drilling the hole to install it in the kitchen, do I need to cut it back into the wall like you had done? By the way it is winter here now so should I wait until spring? Thank you for answering or to any that does answer my questions before I start on this project. Thank you for the Video Building with Burner you made this look so easy.
Brush the soapy water on with a brush. You must have disconnected the yellow flex the the furnace to add the tee. Did you soap it? If it’s a gas oven, self clean you need a 3/4” pipe. Not bad for an amateur. Reshape all fittings.
Is the furnace gas line bonded. If not, lightning strike any where near the home can cause arcing and blow a hole in the flexible connector. Also did you have to get new gas line inspected? Might be needed for home insurance purposes. Also flexible connector should never be reused. They are compression fittings. Did you get a new one for the furnace?
How do you screw in the T where you cut the pipe? If you put it on one pipe, how do you attach the other pipe, since it can't rotate, being attached to the furnace?
The yellow flexible gas feed for the furnace has a connector like a garden hose so it is easy to tighten the black pipe first and then attach the flex hose.
The gas counter isnt so sensitive to count a small gas leakage. It is easier to shut down the valve before the counter, wait for about 10min and try to fire the portion of gas from your range. If it fires up good it means that there's no leakage. Paint the gas pipe!!!
Appliances can still fire up with leaks being present... the best way to check for leaks on the downstream side of meter is to mark the half foot dial with a marker and see if it moves after 5-15 mins
Can a gas stove and a furnace be run off the same natural gas supply outlet? It is a half inch iron supply pipe. Would there be enough gas to run both at the same time?
Dont ever touch your gas meter. Sometimes they have safety mechanisms and when you turn them back on no gas will flow. Just get ahold of the gas company and have them shut it off and then come put it back on. Dont be like me and do this shit live and piss of my boss.
@buck ewer to make it up to code he should have put a drip leg in before the stove . He also should have capped off the ends of all the appliances in the house and put something like 25 psi and let it sit for 24 hours if no pressure drop then hook it up and let the gas flow.
@buck ewer never but it's good practice. Since he added on to an existing run it should have been inspected and those are things that a inspector would ding him on. As far a drip leg I just saw a problem with a furnace that didnt have one. The burners were corroded on a 3 year old furnace.

Thanks for sharing the technique
Hello how did you measure the total btu load vs btu supply
Well done---As an amateur you were very thorough--thanks
Good tip about watching the meter. Thanks.

Good job man I enjoyed it now the original circuit breaker for the old range can be used for a sub panel for future projects 😎😎
Great video. Beautiful stove😍
The bonk on the head was classic--had me dying. Sounded like napolean dynamyte in a family guy episode
Precisely my impression. Hilarious.

Thanks for video. Very helpful. You added a T to existing gas line does that create a problem for pressure? Did you measure the pressure?
Great video, direct and to the point!

Did you have to add any extra gas line before you added the black extension pipe?
Any issues for no having a vent ? All that monoxide?
The above stove microwave has the vent underneath
What is the font in the introduction?

Saw the pse sticker and got excited. It’s the little things in life
No where did I see how he tapped into an existing line? Running new line is the easy part. Where and how did you “tap” in?
What is the BTU for the stove
Thank you my friend
Nice job .
What no shut off val valve. On strove
How did you sync your audio with your lapel mic? Is it wireless?
In premiere pro you select the video with poor quality audio and the preferred audio Chanel from the mics, right click and sync audio. It's easy.
Thank you for your great details video
Forgot the sediment trap before the range but good job man
Not for a stove unless local code say so.
How do you screw in the T where you cut the pipe? If you put it on one pipe, how do you attach the other pipe, since it can't rotate, being attached to the furnace?

Daniel Velazquez Plus soapy water.
I'm curious if you ended up with poison ivy turning off your gas because those leaves were dripping with urisol
Should you have a down trap before the stove??
Not needed for a range
@@WilliamSmith-pz5nw Why isn't a down trap needed for a range?
did homeowners insurance approved this DIY? remember you do need a tag for this! (unless you are licensed as a gas fitter)
damn that hurt.... nice vid
Nice, though job.
A gas stove requires 3/4 inch pipe but it's a short run you'll probably be okay and the gas Flex should be 5/8
John London hi I need to install for a gas fireplace would the 3/4 pipe work for that?
Slippery Rock 1/2” for fireplace, a lot less BTU demand from fireplace vs stove
Can a gas stove and a furnace be run off the same natural gas supply outlet? It is a half inch iron supply pipe. Would there be enough gas to run both at the same time?
@@MadHatter11371 yes...maybe a 1/2” depending on the btu’s.
@@dustin1203 No
When you hit your head and had to take a moment. I know the feels. :(
I got tired of doing that and got a bump cap. It's a plastic shell that fits inside a baseball cap.
If Mr Roger's had a son he would sound like this....
Gas was cheaper 4 years ago when this video was made? No way weird.

6:32 I didn’t see any ratchet...🤣
You never run a gas line inside a wall cavity. It’s a code violation and creates a very dangerous condition.
This one time, at Band Camp

Wow as a professional gas fitter over 20 yrs, this is the most dangerous out of code install I have seen.
@buck ewer to make it up to code he should have put a drip leg in before the stove . He also should have capped off the ends of all the appliances in the house and put something like 25 psi and let it sit for 24 hours if no pressure drop then hook it up and let the gas flow.
@buck ewer never but it's good practice. Since he added on to an existing run it should have been inspected and those are things that a inspector would ding him on. As far a drip leg I just saw a problem with a furnace that didnt have one. The burners were corroded on a 3 year old furnace.
What are the issues you see ?
Sorry that was funny...only cause ive been there done that..jajaja
You didn't do a good job..you dont have adequate supply of gas from the meter a shit install...but for a millennial at least you did manual labor
Don’t be a douche..
you don't know what your are doing
exactly, I wouldn't sleep in that house.
