Very helpful and helped me replace my cooktop. 🙏. I wanted to say 2 things: try and take out the previous top and measure the cutout before ordering the new one. Mine was granite and you cannot modify the cutout easily. I had to get a diamond file and grind out some nubs. Also replace the flexible gas coonector and other hardware with new hardware so that there are no gas leaks.
Great instructional video! Thank you Michael, installing our new cooktop was a breeze with your help! I only wish I had taken it out to measure before purchasing the new cooktop since I had to have the countertop cut and extra 1/4 inch to fit the new one.
Hi. I am trying to install our new cooktop but while it fits the space when the regulator is unattached, once I attach the regulator it does not fit. Can I install the regulator just after the cooktop shut off valve and will it still work safely and effectively? It couldn't be more than 5-6 feet additional distance for the gas to travel through the flex hose.
Thanks for watching & that shouldn’t be a problem depending on your local codes. The most important thing is to ensure there’s never a gas leak while cooktop is on or off. Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@HeadingForTomorrow Thanks for watching & you will need to purchase a more compact compatible regulator. You will be able to choose a regulator that will have a 90° angle turned to it which alleviates it from making contact with any rear portion of the inner drawer for wall/frame. Some of our viewers have mentioned that they carefully cut away rear portions of inner frame to make clearance for the regulator. We strongly recommend using the sealant shown to ensure you have no gas leaks after install.

Hello micheal.. I just wanna ask some of your insight.. 2 days ago I accidentally spilled the jelly with coconut milk on out stove top i already clean the outside but now I can smell the sour smell which I think coming from the inside of the stove and I don't know how to open it.. anyway to handle this...
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Is your unit the exact same as this? If yes, you will need to carefully complete some friendly steps which include unplugging unit, close gas valve, remove gas line from regulator & remove cooktop from countertop cutout. At this point, you will need to remove all screws that are securing lower aluminum base/cover to gain access to inside. Some people will wait a few days & allow it to evaporate prior to taking everything apart. No need to take it apart if you don’t need to. Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
I have one installed and I checked the level but when water is in the tray below. It's not level I don't believe this is an issue but other people disagree. Do you think this is a problem

what kind of regulator is that?
Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community.
We appreciate you reaching out to us, this is a standard cooktop gas regulator valve. When purchasing a new regulator, you will want to ensure that it’s compatible with your current cooktop because if it’s not, it can lead to a gas leak…which is never good.
Let us know if you have any questions and hey if you’re interested, join our DIY ecosystem and help us grow an exclusive group of DIYers.

Thanks for watching Justin.
I recommend you stick to car washing
You cab reuse parts if u want to just test it when u reinstall these cheap parts nowadays are cheap Chinese crap that looks like a cheap Chinese cook top which are junk and dangerous
What do you do if it's not level?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Is countertop level or is the cooktop unit getting caught up on something such as an edge or a corner piece not allowing it to fully seat in place?
