I just don't see why it cut a good gas line just to add a union .
@clarencewesson79973 ай бұрын
why it is already hooked up ? why cut it just to hook it right back up you did not add a thing .

Shouldn't the valve be before the sediment trap so you can easily turn off the gas to clean it out?

Curious why you had to take out the pipe all the way back to the original tee? I'm looking to do something similar and was wondering is there not a bushing that could have been put at the base of the original pipe going to the unit that would have upsized it from 1/2" to 3/4"? Was it just a design choice to make the change at the original elbow?

That connector is the magic. I was thinking there must be a T fitting for retrofits with a reverse thread on one side to allow simultaneous tightening. But then it would require a reverse thread cutter to mate up one end of the cut pipe. Thanks for making this video.

@DaOneEnOnly Жыл бұрын
That's a lot of dope! For everyone or there make sure you are using a natural gas rated pipe dope. You can use a lot of dope like he did but you could also use less. The pipe dope is not making the seal or at least it should not be. Should be a mechanical connection between the national pipe threads that's making a seal. The pipe dopes just there to help lubricate the threads until they can make it seal.
@JetFire94 ай бұрын
Kind of contradicted yourself. If the pipe dope is just lubricant, like you said, why does it matter if it's natural gas rated?

I must have missed something, cuz what was the point of this? You removed the line to the water heater and put it back again? What is the point of adding the compression fitting? You didn't add anything or tie anything into the existing line?

But this video shows that there was already a tee off that line so it doesn't show us how to do it if there wasn't a tee off the line.

@luism11862 жыл бұрын
So he cut the pipe to install a union? What’s the purpose of this job? the white “pipe dope” isn’t for for gas, you can tighten the pipe without putting marks in the pipe by turning from female fitting, both ends of the pipes will turn. Other than that looks good
