gas piping ran to new gas range,stove/start up

[@williamd4489]

Great job Steve, I bet the homeowner's are happy they switched from electric to gas, much better !

[@Fireship1]

Great job Steve. That was a nice stove. You did a Clean install on it.

[@Brad1237202]

Quality installation Steven!!! The weather is getting better in our neighborhood! I could take "75 and dry" 365 days a year!!!

[@donthomcsi]

Your pilot hole at :48 didn't leave enough wood for the threaded tip on the auger to bite so naturally it wasn't going to pull the bit through which is the main reason for liking auger bits. Back seat driving is easy but it didn't look like you caught what was happening. Everything else was very nice work!

[@michaelmccleery3776]

I'm glad you pointed that out. I was thinking the same thing.

[@Spector_NS5_RD]

good video Steve. we basically use the same setup when cutting more than a few runs of gas line. we got an older rigid motorized pipe threader/cutter that weighs about 175 lb's. what a bastard to load and unload. cuts and threads like butter tho.

[@Huzzahgamers_inc]

Now you just need to adjust the burners by taking each knob off and using a small Flathead screwdriver and setting each one to the right mix. It also would have been great if you could have shown us the install of the black iron pipes, heck a montage would have been great as well. I hope you have learned more and that your videos have gotten better, You really have a good thing going here.

[@lilCHIQUIS1]

Really good job! Hard to find people like you.

[@phillipgroom9187]

That was a nice stove. Good job. Thanks for the video.

[@johnwalker890]

Nice stove, good job Steve.

[@SovereignTroll]

I love that reamer! Adult size! You do beautiful work, experience shows.

[@deanguando1335]

I sure would have liked to watch you actually install those pipes and do that tee.

[@westvalley411]

Exactly...was the down pipe to the water heater cut...how did he get the elbow off?

[@joeygalvez]

@@westvalley411 Break the union at the water heater, then un-thread the pipe out of the 90, install the tee, reinstall the pipe, reinstall the union, then work your way off the new tee.

[@LGascco]

Exactly

[@michaelpadovani9566]

Very nice job, and a nice gas range as well (I have the same one)

[@kurtismckemmie4850]

That's a nice fancy stove. Never seen one like that.

[@13kva]

great Vid, quick question are you required in your state to make a drip pocket before each appliance? Annnnd, what type of Fritz do you use what gives it the blue look? Thx.....B

[@bryan1282]

I just put i lg mini split in April, I love it! Ducted for the upstairs bedrooms and non ducted for the lower 2 levels, so a 3 zone heat/ac system as well as my standard boiler heat. I wish I put it on the wall though instead of on the ground, didn't think of it at the time cuz it came with a base, now I gotta keep an eye on the snow around it.

[@ronniebuchanan6575]

Been there done that.

[@Cavball9]

Nice work. Clean install.

[@tcphvacr9950]

Nice install, Steve. Got that same stove this summer, except it's white. Good stove.

[@ridethepace6005]

Steve, are you O.Q qualified to work on the D.O.T. side of the meter? Do you check the reg vent after turning the riser valve back on? Those old s254's are known to weep afterwards. You should probably say something about Johnny homeowner not touching those lockwings because they can blow the reg or sometimes snap that brass barrel. Might be 60lbs in that line.

[@theamerican7131]

I am new Subscriber. Can you do a coffee chat on how you got into the business? Did you go to school for Plumbing and HVAC ? You sure know a lot. I like your videos.

[@Trucker-Belly]

What about the excess gas that is still in the lines? Does it need bled?

[@ColoradoCarrolls]

Great Vid, Sounds like you're from Boston area, I thought I would see that sea-gull at the end turn to feathers .

[@springtimehappiness5216]

That is one clear camera picture of the bird at the end of the video ! Great quality camera.

[@BenjaminEsposti]

Hey Steve, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to check to see if the gas range is adjusted properly, sometimes the new ranges aren't adjusted quite right for the gas pressure in the building and it can cause excess CO.

[@robertmatchett2087]

Excellent work Steve.

[@jeffmoss26]

nice work Steve.

[@angelvelasco9770]

what about the regulator for the new stove? don’t need one

[@westvalley411]

Nice work....would be good to see how a leak shows up...another video?

[@slobodanmuncan2792]

Ima li snimak kako seku pocinkovanu ili cev za gas testerom od 1 /2 " da je cev od 6 metara

[@jatinderdosanjh8596]

Knowledgeable Video. Thanks a lot!!!!!!

[@chuckallday1310]

How did you bleed the gas down?

[@theamerican7131]

Good stuff, Steve ! Thumbs up.

[@luktish]

I have a question about the diameter of the outlet on the meter. It is currently 1" diameter. I will have somewhere about 90' of pipe from the meter to the furthest appliance. So I would like to attach a 1.5" pipe to the meter. Can you install a 1.5" diameter outlet on the gas meter with 1" outlet? From my understanding, attaching 1.5" pipe to the 1" outlet on the meter would create a bottle neck right there? Thanks

[@capriracer351]

Interestingly, on Sunday I had to run gas pipe in the basement of the house that my boy just bought. He needed help carrying his washer and dryer down the steps. Then he asked me if I would hook up his dryer. One look at what was there and I said No Way. Nothing but one 15' long chunk of 3/8" copper tubing coming off a tee where the stove hooked up. The compression fitting where the tubing connected to the tee fell right out the moment I loosened the nut. It now has 1/2" black pipe running to the dryer with a good flex pipe for gas, as it should be. I don't know how that house didn't blow up on the previous owner, the compression fitting was sealing nothing.

[@eddiesellers8522]

great video. if you can remember how far were you from the meter when you installed the 3/4" to 1/2" tee?

[@harrydickson4575]

Nice work Steve !!!!

[@drew856856]

you a bad man you know what your doing hands down

[@bradford216]

That was a nice looking stove.

[@spencerhanson3112]

Recently added a 1/2” line for a stove for a friend. After I installed it, the pilot light kept going out on the water heater after a day or two of running. Thermocouple is fine, cleaned the burners etc. 1” main coming in, t’d off for the 1/2” stove line, and water heater line is 1/2”. Do I need to bump up the line that feeds the water heater to 3/4?

[@eneantotse1634]

The emergency control valve does not have a handle? What if there is a gas leak?

[@afzalchaudhry5320]

hi good job i have question before energize main valve is there any test

[@valarmorghulis4382]

are u using a phone cam ?? amazing picture quality for a phone I think

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job like all ways

[@Oregon321]

Can you use the test dial on the meter to test for leaks?

[@saebfaghih6406]

hi. why do you don't use welding for gas piping ?

[@cjfunkii2966]

Great video brother. Just what I needed to see! 👍✌

[@rwbillings]

Great work, as usual, Steve. Heard Baby barking in the background.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

she was protecting the truck

[@pull-do6498]

Not a plumber but i have done a lot of piping industrial in the plants, question is,,, how come no union or unions installed in case of a leak you might have had while making all the joints up? Just curious, good job BTW.

[@kingneptunepurpler]

Richard

[@REWYRED]

Very nice work! This job is a pleasure to look at, as hook ups for appliances in my part of Canada are either done in soft copper or this jacketed flexible stainless shit they have out now..

[@geloaguacatesfarmymas.3422]

Hi i need to do a gas line from the meter on my sidewalk to the inside of the basement. Please let me know how can i do it myself...or i need a professional

[@surfpub2001]

Easiest way getting that T installed? Splitting that line?

[@progressplumbing5203]

Steve , I know it's old video what is the name of special gas leak detector you use in this job ?

[@seanliver593]

SOAPY WATER lol

[@b_rad5678]

Would you consider using a union In case there was a leak? You could work way back easier.

[@niceguy235uk1]

How come you don't use copper for gas? In the UK it's used (although there are some old galv pipes still in use).

[@harshaldesai4929]

gr8 video.what about the strapping of gas line?

[@farmerdave7965]

Is your tool Ridgid ?

[@LearningRandomStuffs]

I have a dumb question. When you shut off the gas, isn't there still residual gas left in the lines in your house (to the water heater and furnace)? If you cut into the pipe to install a new line, aren't you draining the gas into your house?

[@eaglevision993]

You can leave the pilot on on the water heater and it will burn off most of the residual gas. Even without doing so there is no danger since there is only very little gas in the lines. But it will smell somewhat.

[@joeyprather4739]

Great question

[@slobodanmuncan2792]

Ima li snimak kako seku pocinkovanu ili cev za gas testerom od 1 /2 " da je cev od 6 metara. Samo sečenje ručnom testerom

[@rybowens]

How much did you charge for that install? Looks like it took a bit threading your own pipe... gotta imagine its cheaper even with the time rather than buying pre-threaded? Nice video

[@brezzz0079]

nice stove

[@brianshaw4318]

hi steve in america do not have to do a tightness test,gas rate, purge and relight and check working pressure when installing a new appliance. its a must the uk.

[@TheChipmunk2008]

It's interesting to see how things are done. I like their anti-tip brackets, much more discreet and simpler than a chain.

[@robbo6767]

I was thinking the same thing testing the installation before starting think our rules must be more strict like the use of iron pipe in domestic less chance of the diyer having a go.

[@MrJujubean]

home depot and lowes will cut and thread pipe for diyers.

[@ryans1693]

here in nyc any new piping has to be pressure tested with 3lbs of air and must hold it for 3hrs, and being he shut the MCV (meter control valve) he would have to pressure test the entire interior piping. here in NYC the utility are the only ones allowed to shut a MCV or a HOS (head of service Valve). so many unsafe practices here in this video

[@raylongoria7178]

You sound like the Godfather... lol! Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday... Nice work!

[@georgesiatos9848]

another great job!!

[@ОляП-д4х]

great video!

[@johnny12895]

well done, how much does that pipe threader you got cost? is there any cheaper methods to make thread for that gauge pipe?

[@progressplumbing5203]

Go to Lowe's or Home depot they got the thread machine and black pipe , they will cut it and thread it free for you.

[@JMills-28457]

I hate setting stoves they can be such a pain in the ass . I see you didn't video sliding the stove in place lol. I don't care how many I do I always have a hard time getting everything lined up right. Good job though.

[@chfar072281]

Great Job!

[@chicanopridealvarez1385]

What would it cost roughly to have a gas line shut off valve for a gas stove I presently have only a cap on it coming out of wall

[@zaggaona]

surely you checked by now but i put in a 1/2 inch ball valve(about8$) 1/2 in appliance connector 4ft (about 22$)

[@chicanopridealvarez1385]

zaggaona ok thx

[@geloaguacatesfarmymas.3422]

[@nicholasbrown6481]

Or the bit is dull as shit

[@the_calibrator]

Not sure if you know but that reg on the gas meter doesn’t seem like the best place to be installed... should have some more clearance below the vent in my opinion. Not sure if it’s even in line with code in your area..

[@DONALD1951]

Daniel Velazquez it comes that way from the gas company.

[@TUFFTONE]

What kind of pipe dope is that

[@bartomand3681]

No bubbles no troubles Mamma

[@kendallrouse44]

I did a test run today with a go pro I'm gonna try to put it up would you watch it

[@stevenlavimoniere]

to much movement my eyes were bugging out of my head .. had to stop watching it .

Steve is the master of video production

[@ryanknuth6915]

Might be time for a new pair of kicks my man!

[@79dogface]

Anyone have a ball park estimate for a service like this ?

[@Chrominance87]

7:48 Pressure tests always make me anxious.

[@DONALD1951]

Overall, good job. First wipe off the excess pipe dope. It could conceal a leak. Leak test only a section at a time. By time you check out all the joints the bubbles could be done. Use a flashlight and don’t forget to check in the back of the fittings.

[@w.miller7282]

DONALD1951 I don’t think needs any advice on how to do his job.

[@rogerchavez19]

Good job

[@kurtlucas8638]

What's the other way ??

[@thedon8223]

Nice job Steve I could of done it better but nice job

[@michaelking42]

Hey there Steven, great video, thanks for sharing! I do have a question, if you don't mind...is a regulator required? Or are they usually built in to the stoves?

[@aaronbrown6266]

Built in.

[@RangerCaptain11A]

its the boxy thing the flex line is attached to at 11:59

[@michaelking42]

Thanks guys. My comment was a blast from the past; I had to rewatch the video to see what it was about, then figure out which house I was living in at the time. Seems I ran a gas line for a new gas stove I put in at my home. I've installed another 3 gas stoves since then.

[@kendallrouse44]

Sorry that was yesterday im uploaded one from the job site today. It should be done in a few minutes

[@macheen28]

Yo Steve. U should really buy some new shoes or nice boots. Them shredded old prison shoes and Kmart socks need a re-vamp pronto. Love your vids other than that

[@reybravo215]

Very informative. After the gas is turned back on what is your procedure for the water heater and furnace as far as relighting or the pilot? Do you turn off the valve to each one prior to turning off the main valve to the house ?

[@MittyNuke1]

Not sure what he does but any gas valve with a pilot should automatically shut off when the pilot goes out and will remain off even when you turn the gas back on until you manually re-light the pilot like he did for the water heater in the video. There is a thermocouple or thermopile to detect if the pilot is lit and the valve will only operate if this works, as a safety feature.

[@adrianolarios989]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Store4421]

Shouldn't you have ran 1 inch up to the T where it goes down to the water heater? then you could have ran 3/4 to the stove.

[@xcmskim4]

whats your opinion on LG mini splits? do you recommend compared to other brands?

[@MrHooman]

Mr. Steven, How long did that take you to install? I always wonder how long things like that takes.

[@user-wl4im6nc8y]

3/4 drop on a water heater ? it's a pv50

[@privateinfo4820]

Sorry to bother y'all but can we use the yellow tube/yellow RECTORSEAL Pipe Thread Sealant that has the red 5 on the label or do we need your white paste/brush stuff? Running black iron pipe/nat gas to new stove location in our kitchen remodel.

Special leak detector

[@MattBruns]

Most gas lines I've seen come through the wall.

[@mikejones5364]

You don't spray like that, you want a nice stream so when it on the pipe there are no bubbles, you want bubbles to come up where there are leaks. Open your choke on your spray bottle

[@timj5367]

Isn't their a gas detection device you can use. I'm scared of the gas mama... 😯
