I build houses, I don't do gas. I have a shutoff valve on the outside of my house for a 26k btu fireplace. How do I connect a dual regulator with safety to the house from the tank? Do I need black iron lines with a sediment trap after the regulator, or do I just hook the regulator up to the house? Thanks

[@ahmedlasfar3290]

Very good explanation, thank you.

[@crutcher2244]

Gas needs to enter from the top of tee, sediment trap at the bottoms. A lot of valves but not illegal the 3rd one should be on the other side of the floor near fireplace. and needs to be hard pipe coming through the floor. They make a termination plate you can mount on the floor.

[@leonkeating1015]

It’s called a dirt pocket, and it needs only to be 3” long in Ontario for 1/2” pipe. it’s also not a regulator, it’s a gas valve. A SIT 820 nova to be exact. I still can figure why he double valved it. A nipple and a coupler is way cheaper than a gas valve

[@ronaldlabelle7274]

Did you notice the appliance flex connector going through the floor?

All the plumbers and know it alls in here talking about how wrong he did it😢. Acting like he’s fucking building a spaceship. Get over yourself. The funniest thing is that all of you are exactly the same, you complain and say everything is wrong but you dont know WHY it’s wrong. All you can do is say that it “doesn’t meet code”. I’d be willing to bet that this guy knows more about the THEORY behind gas than you do. That’s because he’s open and willing to learn and your A person who just does what they are told and doesn’t question anything or no why it’s happening. So let’s talk about this installation, According to you he did everything wrong but the fireplace works doesn’t it😂. Whats different between his installation and the shit work the last plumber did right next to him? Other than he saved $1000. No it’s not super clean and it doesn’t “look” nice. Are there going to be people that are walking around checking out his gas line? 😅Who gives a shit? I want you to tell us what is specifically wrong about his gas line that is going to affect his fireplace or life All the complex parts involved….it’s a piece of threaded iron pipe with some pipe dope and Teflon tape. The only possible thing that could go wrong is it could leak. Spend 2 minutes checking the connections with leak detector and its all set for 50’years. A five-year-old could install that thing.

Ran across this so wrong it's funny Please don't look to this for help Gas shutoff has to be in same room within 6 foot of appliances flex connector you have hooked to fireplace cannot pass through floors or walls not sure but looks like you screwed 1/2" pipe coupling in between valves onto a flare fitting no coragations on cast should be showing stripped way to much back can do it but have to tape with silicone tape don't need drip leg on fireplace just unattended appliances such as water heater furnace not required on range or dryer or fireplace and drilled though bottom of fireplace it has holes on sides of bottom for line to pass though it's fine you did it but please don't encourage others

[@JonBeeTheProducer]

The Gasman false. National code says it must be on its own line, within 50 feet and accessible. Local codes might be different but as off 2005 that is not the case.

[@joecoco908]

@@JonBeeTheProducer Negative. The install is not compliant. "G2420.5 (409.5) Equipment shutoff valve. Each appliance shall be provided with a shutoff valve separate from the appliance. The shutoff valve shall be located in the same room as the appliance, not further than 6 feet (1829 mm) from the appliance, and shall be installed upstream from the union, connector or quick disconnect device it serves. Such shutoff valves shall be provided with access. - - Exception: Shutoff valves for vented decorative appliances and decorative appliances for installation in vented fireplaces shall not be prohibited from being installed in an area remote from the appliance where such valves are provided with ready access.

[@anomalyjustin]

It doesn't need to be thick unless you are manhandling your gas appliances around like a savage. It only needs to hold between 5 and 25 psi depending on if you have NG or propane.

[@blueg3027]

It serves a purpose. As long as your lines are properly sized and the friction loss is minimal, it works great and helps when you cant use black iron. The hell is wrong with it lol you got 2lb gas going through there at max for residential. Most of the time its half pound at about a quarter PSI. Its code where im from as long as a union is used and not run inside the cabinet of an appliance like a furnace.

Installing a gas log set or fireplace is NOT a DIY project. It must be installed by a Certified Gas Technician. Do it your self and have a problem that damages your home and you Home Owner's Insurance won't know you!

[@ThisOldMan-ya472]

Not sure where you are, but in British Columbia, a homeowner can get a permit and do the install themselves. It still has to pass inspection, and you only get two inspections, the second to rectify any issue found the first time. However, if the homeowner is incompetent, the permit fee is forfeited and a CGT must be hired.
