DIY: How To Replace A Gas Cooktop

[@fvgerr]

This is how instructional vids like this should be done. No stupid music, clear instruction what is being done in each step. Thank you.

[@mickthomas5162]

Thanks great video. I especially appreciate the fact that you didn't add music or feel the need to talk a ton during the video. Many youtube videos are "ehanced" with the users music preferences.....

[@HomeImprovementDIY]

No problem! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@tonikyler6107]

That's right..i hate when the music is so loud u can't even concentrate on the video

[@MataH1]

Thanks that's perfect, neat, clear, no blah blah, no crappy music. Only what's necessary and all of it. 👍

[@HomeImprovementDIY]

Thank you

As stated below, you should always use a a new connector pipe when installing a new appliance. Also, the gas teflon tape is OK on the pipe thread but should never be used on the compression fitting. It can interfere with the connection seating properly. Also, I saw where he applied some dish soap to check for leaks but the video doesn't show every actually checking. Finally, doing any kind of job in your bare feet is asking for trouble. My question is whether or not the little rubber "feet" that came with the cooktop are supposed to be removed at installation. They hold the cooktop 1/16 inch above counter and make it look unfinished. However, some rubber feet seem like a good idea. I know the glass cooktops are installed with foam tape but how about metal tops? Keep the rubber feet or discard them?

[@anthonygreen1515]

I would recommend not using teflon tape on the flared portion of your adapter fitting incase any teflon overlaps the top of the bevel. This will probably cause a leak. In fact it's the bevel that connects up snugly to the flexible appliance hose that makes a good seal. It most cases dope or tape is not necessary for the beveled part of the fittings and if you are going to use anything dope is a better option just keep it on the Male threads only. Always use dope or teflon on the the other male connections. Thanks for the video

Very helpful and thanks! (If you don't know the difference between and cooktop and a range you should not be thinking about doing anything yourself!)

[@tonikyler6107]

Awesome job. Very informative. I think I can handle changing mine out. U made it look very easy. Thank u

[@HomeImprovementDIY]

Thank you

[@qli2911]

thanks a lot to share this virdo. But I have a question about how to using soap water to check leak? how?

[@ArcanePath360]

Useful thanks. Even though I don't have a flexible hose, it's a brass elbow going straight into the bottom from outside through the wall. Luckily the oven slides out easily so I can get to it.

[@DesertDigger1]

Nice narration. Well done.

[@idontknow7334]

Good video.simple jobs.diy for times ,cost are save ..learns to be smarts....helpful ...

[@threedog22]

You should ALWAYS use a new gas connector when installing a new gas cooktop! Also, you should use 'pipe dope', or pipe thread compound when connecting gas. Teflon tape is typically used for water connections. Yes, it can be used for gas, but I certainly do not recommend it, for safety concerns, and liability issues.

[@ConicalRamirez]

You don't know what you're talking about. The PTFE in the yellow casing is one wrap PTFE made for gas.

[@threedog22]

I didn't say it couldn't be used, I just wouldn't recommend it. I prefer the compound. And the flex line should always be replaced. In fact, in some applications, it's required by the building code.

[@ConicalRamirez]

ptfe is fine as long as you know that you will need a lot more than a couple of wraps like the video shows if you are using the thin stuff. I personally use Rocol gas seal. In Britain hobs should really be connected with a rigid pipe unless manufacturers instructions say otherwise, and an isolation tap, also using soapy water ie. washing up liquid, isn't allowed to test for leaks as it's corrosive :)

[@robertvarga1670]

It helped, but my old is built in but I have to replace with non-built in, so I guess all I need a new pipe connection because pipes are not the same or I need an extension....

[@tomcrowe7927]

(1) Don't use tape or dope on flared side of connectors. (2) Ideally flame shouldn't show any yellow tips. Pull control knob off, hold valve stem with pliers, insert flat blade screw driver down into the center of valve steam and adjust flame height (1/4" at low & no yellow).

[@tariqrahman4203]

Very informative

[@johnguichard8498]

I personally would switch off the electricity before doing any work on this hob.

[@christinabrashears9634]

I like your video. I am putting my stuff together and noticed that I have an extra Circle to go on the top of the burners. It is smaller. Where do I put this one? I didn't see anywhere on the instructions where to do that. Thank you

[@SukhwinderSingh-ww1vc]

Good information 👍

[@jamesmarshall5634]

Good video, you didn't show, however I assume you had turned the gas on, when you were soaping the fittings?

[@SukhwinderSingh-ww1vc]

Super information 👍

[@danieljessin3519]

Can i place a built in hob (tempered glass ) on a granite cutting hole ? Does it needed any kind of support underneath the cutting hole to hold is weight ?

[@NIKKIKEM]

That was very helpful. Thank you.

[@georgesyammouni9715]

Hi. How do you replace igniter on that exact hotplate. Do you have to remove the hotplate ? Many thanks

[@vyjayanthitulasi5214]

May i know how much length we have to leave under the platform for kitchen hob....

[@itstufz5189]

Excellent video!

[@kevinwaters-marsh217]

We'll done. Thanks

[@3schnauzies]

Do you have to light it, or is it self igniting?

[@ledieuexist2856]

I hope Get like that in my home thankx its amazing.job

[@carlagibson553]

What is the catch called on the splash back lid that holds the lid down

[@Oceanusnovas-um2zf]

Great Job!

[@addypearce]

Thanks! Really helpful and clear

[@HomeImprovementDIY]

you are welcome.Glade that my video did help you out.

[@quicktube87]

I like how nobody is talking in this video, much better than an american accent rant

[@prodigirl1]

Thank you for the helpful video.

[@Robbiewa-bg4lu]

In the United Kingdom it is illegal for anyone unregistered to install gas appliances.

[@ashleyking1688]

Robbiewa6451 wrong

[@meghana868]

what r the difference between rwo type too?

[@tonyn9858]

thanks for your video very helpful

[@harrietty281]

You should mention that this is only good for US installations !

[@mercury83j]

I think i have same model - what is model number?

[@pallavimynepalli9582]

Is this a 30-inch or 36 inch cooktop?

[@HomeImprovementDIY]

+Pallavi Mynepalli it was 30 inches

[@scorpiohams]

Shouldn't this be carried out by a registered gas engineer or is it exempt?

[@Mojo27564]

Thanks I’ll do the job the the morning!

[@ConicalRamirez]

Look at the state of that flame!

[@supabradsi]

great vid!

[@alderete74]

2x4 great idea

[@javiercentenojr]

i installed mine but it shift side to side even after i put the clamps on

[@kirdag17]

Never pull the oven out from the door and another I didn't see him put a washer into the connection ?

[@annashiegl]

How to pull the oven out correctly then? 🤔

[@dontclickme17]

what's the purpose of the Teflon tape?

[@utng8549]

to prevent gas leak, make better seal

[@couchpoet1]

Number six should have been number one.

[@thirurajah1]

thanks help to me

[@exfolios]

A cooktop separate from an over just below it? Just buy a range, then. Am I missing something?

[@overkilled5283]

Roberto Bayoneto yes...class!

[@garydouglass9577]

Turn all electric off first and wear boots. Clearly a chancer.

[@MattBruns]

Don't the safety codes require you to get a plumber to hook it to the gas line?

[@mickthomas5162]

+Matt Bruns Only in Mass and a few other NE states. I know where I lived in Oklahoma, Missouri, Indiana, Colorado, Alabama and many others a plumber is not needed. Especially if the line is already there. If you are running new line in the walls or something like that It's a good idea to hire a plumber.

[@3schnauzies]

You can call the gas company to do it

[@MattBruns]

No, if it involves installing a gas appliance or any lines in the house you have to have a plumber. Gas companies only work with outside lines.

[@patterdalezipsuzilil]

Is this guy a joiner😝😝😝

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

It seems a bit lethal to post this - though it's informative. Nobody should be trying this at home, unless they are a gas engineer.

[@papabear4066]

Seems pretty straightforward to me. It don’t take a gas engineer to do it 😂

[@uhavemooface]

Yeah this isn't helpful sense we have a show gas stove not one that is inside a counter top. I picked the wrong one.

[@Mod-rw9cw]

Top tip never work barefoot like this clown.

[@rpprevost]

Dude. Are you aware that you're using that wrench backwards in one of the shots?

[@razmac175]

prat!

[@jamespuig4858]

Can't insist enough follow the suggestions from "elohmbre" below. BTW shouldn't it be "elhombre"
