Would you recommend a quick disconnect fitting even if connecting to a build-in grill that won't be moving? Is there any benefit to _not_ reducing to 3/8 and supplying more gas to the grill? I don't even know if that's an option but I'm curious. Thanks for the video. There are quite a few videos on running a line out to your grill but this was helpful for the last segment to the grill.
@@kenmsuzukithank you for your comment, the quick discount is suggested for the material used in the manufacturing. It is designed to be outside. You can always use flex line but that definitely limits the mobility of your grill. Most grills now days have a 3/8” pipe into the grill itself. If your grill has a 1/2” inlet, then we would use that. More gas pressure the better, although reducing the size in a small foot run with not see any pressure reduction.
I've been struggling to find a reducer to put between the stub (with a standard 1/2" shut off valve) and the 3/8" quick connect to the grill. We need a reducer with 2 male ends but can't find one that fits the shut off valve side. We've tried 5/8, 1/2 and 3/4 and NONE fit into the female end. Does anyone know what size we need to fit in the 1/2" shut off valve??? (Again, 1/2" didn't work).
@@jeanperagine2947 hello, not sure if you are in Las Vegas but we sell 1/2” to 3/8” reducer’s with all the fittings you might need. We could send you a photo reference if needed.
@@bbqconceptslasvegas Yes, I'm in Vegas. I tried that size reducer and the 1/2" didn't work at the stub for some reason. I'm now thinking the wrong fitting was put in the bag at Lowe's and am going to try another one first. I'll definitely reach out to you if that one doesn't work. It's been frustrating. Thank you!
@ yeah most likely it’s because you need a nipple that goes on each end. We do have all of the stuff in stock. If you need any assistance, please feel free to come in anytime.
Well friend you might be for a suprise....i googled it. I also spoke to a couple of friends, one being a handyman...and yes...there is the possibilty of a clog. There is got to be a way of avoiding tearing down the drywalls and things...I will keep you post it. for sure...I will make myself a video
i'd put a shut off valve certified photovoltaic/solar thermal technician here quick connect couplings or the hose they are attached to can fail without warning for many reasons. care must be taken to ensure that quick connect couplings are either compatible with or protected from the environment (that is, surrounding conditions) to which they are exposed. environmental conditions including but not limited to ultraviolet radiation, ozone, moisture, water, salt water, chemicals, and air pollutants can cause degradation and premature failure *nice video*
Please tell me the best way to unclog my gas line at home. I have 5 lines and 3 are clogged...how do I know they are clogged? because the other 3 have gas ..and they are working fine. Any one knows how... think a plumber will be so expensive...one is telling me I have to tear the walls down, but I dont think so.
The one telling you you need to tear the walls down is correct. You don't have a clog, there's nothing in natural gas that could form a clog in the pipe like that. My first instinct is probably the same as the plumber telling you you'll need to open up the wall. At some point in the past those lines might have been hooked in but they were probably disconnected during a renovation. There's a chance if you have a crawl space or a basement that there's a shutoff going to those lines that's closed but there's zero chance of your problems being a clog. The only way it could be a clog is if whoever originally installed it accidentally left some foreign debris in the pipe. If that was the case then it never would have worked and it would have been found early on.
@@ariea.devalois1564 thank you for your comment. You are absolutely correct. This video is just for entertainment purposes only and just on how to connect to the stub. Please consult a licensed plumber for any suggestions. Thank you 🙏😃
Dumb (noob) question. If there was no shutoff in this tutorial, then I believe that your video answers this. When there is no shutoff valve, or there is one and it's left open.. and the gas line terminates with a quick disconnect that isn't connected to any hose. Does the quick disconnect prevent the flow of gas? Or does the pipe leak gas in an unrestricted manner? The reason I ask is that a house painter disconnected my BBQ's hose from its quick disconnect on the house (perfectly OK) and then turned the gas shutoff valve to its open position (no idea why), and it was left this way for several days.
@@WarrenB-c5s Great question, personally it should be completely fine. That quick disconnect cannot let out gas until the line is plugged in. We would still suggest putting one for safety if the quick disconnects fail. In your case, I would shut it off for peace of mind but should no cause any immediate worry, unless the quick disconnect is quite old. I hope this helps and thank you for your comment
@@bbqconceptslasvegas Thanks so much for your quick and detailed reply. I always keep the shutoff valve turned off when not in use, and noticed that it had been turned on by the painter after their work was done and I was reconnecting it to the BBQ. I didn't smell any gas, or hear noise to indicate any leak.. but your answer is peace of mind. Thanks again :)
Jesus swapping gas fittings whilst the gas is on You’d loose your licence if you did that in the uk And surly that fitting should be angled to point downward so it stays clean and is less likely to get knocked off by the grill when it’s being moved about
@@martinwood8690 great comment, we appreciate your feedback. Here in Las Vegas, the gas is regulated at the meeter so the pressure is minimal, again this is for entertainment purposes only and all gas questions should go through a qualified person.

Building codes usually mandate a shut-off valve for each gas appliance, including those using quick disconnects!
Nice job. Love the live connection. Quick easy and safe. Those criticizing have no idea about gas
My dude. Nice job. Gas scares me and this made it look easy and safe
Great video thank you. Is there a particular kind of pipe sealer that you use for natural gas lines? Also, what about plumbers tape? Thanks again.
Is it compatible with LPG gas stove?
Would you recommend a quick disconnect fitting even if connecting to a build-in grill that won't be moving?

Good place to buy 1/2"×3/8" quick disconnect?
Thank you for the good video!
@@gotchaplumber we have both those disconnects in stock and also carry both of these with the hoses if needed
@@bbqconceptslasvegas Awesome! ...good to know ... cost?
Ok, but how do you disconnect it

I have been using quick connect gas fittings for 25 years, never had one fail for any reason. So i think they’re safe

I see on Webers website they recommended to have nipples between the reducer and the quick connect. Is that true or is what you did fine?
Great question, you would need the nipple if you have a female quick disconnect and a female reducer.
Quick connect lines won't let gas through if nothing is connected to them. But your empty hose allows gas to flow. Not good.

the gas is not on, you dont see the red handle shut off valve
So why did you say “you can. Hear the gas come out “
You shouldn’t be making this type of content to enable the average Joe to do work they’re not qualified to do and put lives at risk
