Very useful info. I don't work in a maintenance job, I just wanted to disconnect my gas dryer. I was able to go to the big box store and get the right stuff. When the young man who was helping me handed me white nylon tape, I told him I needed the yellow tape. Grateful to have seen this video.

[@harrytrask5999]

Excellent presentation - brief and complete. I wasn’t aware of the need for yellow gas-rated tape versus white electrical tape.

[@patrickc6785]

Thank you for keeping this video up after all of these years. Great time capsule, and evidence on how knowledge is everlasting! This was exactly what I needed for an unused gas line outside my home which prior house flippers never resolved.

[@Elin-Esteem84]

Good tip about the yellow type

[@jeffbeard6161]

Thank you posting this video. We want to replace our gas cooktop with an electric induction. Capping the gas line properly will be one of the most important parts of the job. Thankfully, looks super easy. Thanks!!

[@wlang3612]

best video that I came across to cap off a natural gas line for my dryer

[@ajanki34]

Thank you Mr. Ken for this video. I'm glad you and other professionals are here teaching us "unwashed" masses on how to do things like capping gas lines or replacing garbage disposals and such. I'm also glad that you and the others aren't opportunists that prey on people's ignorance on these skills by overcharging them. Thank you again, sir !

[@tonybuls4049]

Nice n clear directions. Thanks

[@klep2859]

Perfect. Now I'm not worried about doing this. Thanks for the yellow tape advice too.

Loved video. Yellow plumbers tape for gas is best thing I learned. Would have liked to see procedure on capping very old gas line coming into old gas heater. But, since you work mostly on commercial, I understand the industrial use factor of video. Thanks again for yellow tape tip! :)

[@Mingomya]

Thanks for the tip on the yellow Teflon tape. Didn't know that. Thanks

[@aflyshe]

I am glad that I found this video. The "plumber" I used cut and capped off an unused pipe and after watching this video, I realized he didn't use any tape :-/ We will get that redone!

[@MassGradingTeacher]

Learned about the tape going the proper direction, which seemed obvious, but I would have not thought about it!

[@andreaschmitz5444]

Awesome, straightforward and easy to understand! I felt relief and confidence after watching it! Thank you!

[@glindamcgee8185]

[@btillm2]

Thanks for this quick and to the point video

[@jevelwilson]

This is the first video I have seen from your channel, I liked & subscribed. Thank you for explaining the exact details (need a brass valve, and yellow tape). Another video I watched was as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle. Thank you so much.

[@karliyoung3151]

Glad I watched didn’t know there was a specific tape! Thanks

[@KeithOutWest]

Same here!

[@terrencegaines2008]

Enjoy the video, I was going to use the white plumbing tape I had, but you enlighten me on the yellow gas seal tape, good looking out, thanks for that. I’m going from gas to electric dryer. Not sure why wife wants to change, but anyway... Brass gas seal and Yellow Seal tape it is. Thanks

[@redgypsy7585]

Great video. I am trying to cap off the gas line where my dryer was. I'm a woman and have no clue but this was so helpful. Thank you so much!!

[@kimskreaturekomforts]

Very nice and quick video. Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@kevinwelby1516]

switching to electric dryer and knew that I needed to cap the line but didn't know the correct procedure...THANKS!

[@andymcguire8674]

Thanks so much. Didn't know about the proper tape or how to thread it. I do now.

[@godisallaroundus]

Saved me some time and money. I appreciate you.

[@beverlychennault6701]

Thanks for the info and making it clear. I am trying to replace a gas fireplace but have to wait for inspections so I didn’t want the line uncapped.

[@lindamalec142]

Thanks, Ken. Clear instructions. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on wrapping the tape correctly, because it makes sense.

[@ashvanbro9329]

Great work mate

[@juliomazzarella2320]

[@martinkraus3118]

Thanks Ken Training. You are very helpful

[@steveraleigh100]

Thankyou. your video explained this better than Another one I've seen. Cheers.

[@barbarakimmitt9716]

I am changing from natural gas to an electric range. Got on to Angie's list somehow and got a call from a guy who said it was $39 for the first part of the service and after the person looks at it can fix it right away. I asked him what he meant by the "first part of the service" how much time did that cover because I did not want to pay more than $65 to have this done. THEN the truth came out. Their minimum charge was $195. If I decided I did not want the work done after the the guy determined what I needed. I would still have to pay the $39. What a way to sucker you in! Unfortunately, there are many people who would think that it is a 15 min. job and the part isn't much, so gosh, $39 sounds great. I am so glad I found your tutorial. Too bad there are so many greedy and unethical ways of doing business out there!! I will be doing this myself!!

[@KenTraining]

Please do a soapy water test after to make sure the you have no leaks. I forgot this in the video.

[@FernandoPerez-ul4sj]

Very clear, simple and easy to follow/understand. Thank you Ken

[@ed-pb2rm]

God video right to the point and I liked how you explained the proper tools and way

[@carolelapointe617]

Very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you

[@ccrueze1435]

Thanks so much. With the workforce being what it is today, it was so nice to have someone explain how to do this. I am glad I did not buy what was given to me to purchase for the job from my local big box store. It would have been the wrong cap and the wrong tape. The visual was great too. Now I know specifically what I am looking for to do the job.

[@williamlynch4598]

A great video and very reassuring.

[@lenworth11]

Really nice video. Very clear and nicely presented with really good tips. Thank you!

Great to know the yellow tape is needed!!!!

[@righty1287]

Thank for showing how to properly cap a natural gas line. You should show how to cap a live natural gas line

[@YaNKeeR_]

Since a plumber was actually going to charge me $150 to do this, I did it myself for $15. Thank you so much!

[@KenTraining]

I glad you saved all that money! Good Job!

[@vijayl]

Thanks for the video. I just wanted to do it right and showed how to.

I'm replacing our gas stove with an induction one and, boy, am I glad I didn't call a plumber and pay him/her $150 to do this!! Thanks. :)

[@Ccodebits]

Me too, they wanted to charge $400

[@Marteana56]

Very thorough and well explained. Thank you. I think even I could do it.

[@frankwick3989]

The Yellow teflon tape discussion was so important for me. I would have gone ahead with white teflon thanks.

[@buttafly6081]

this video was awesome very detailed. I recently moved been a whole month without a working gas dryer and a outdated washing machine that the property owners have attemped 3 times and failed to fix or replace. I will be pulling my electric washer and dryer out of storage and making the conversion myself thanks to your video. capping off gasline got it just need to figure out and learn how to install or use the correct plug for my dryer???
