1 year ago a man put out a simple yet informative video for those who wanted to complete a simple yet daunting task. As of today I too have completed this task with the confidence that I will not blow my house up. Thanks for a clean and to the point video.

Thank you for this video. You just saved me $200. I going to watch your daughter cooking show. I love seeing the next generation. With new ideas

Bought my parents a new stove and I had to install it myself. Well this video made it easy peasy. Wouldn't have figured out the adapter situation had I not watched this. Thank you!!!

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Awesome! Glad we could help! You sound like a great daughter!

[@vladimirjlouis]

Did you have to buy the adapter or did it come with the stove?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

You’ll have to buy it separately.

Thank you, first time installing a gas stove and this helped a lot. That soap water test trick is a lot safer than using a lighter. 😂

[@Smeegle653]

I love that joking, twisty put at the end there you and I both know that there are probably actually people that would try the lighter test 😅😂😂

[@whez08]

I've seen gas technician testing with a lighter. He told me not to do it though, said that's for pros.

[@jbrown70579]

FYI for those finding this now, you DO NOT use pipe dope on a flare fitting. It can interfere with the fitting seating properly and actually cause a leak. I can see in this video he did use it on that fitting as well but didn't mention it. Don't use it, its designed to be used without tape or dope.

Thank you and every awesome person like you that posts "Howto" videos that help the rest of us. You people are truly great.

[@doarip2]

I have the same exact stove. The manufacturer says to place a wrench on the inlet nut on the other side of the regulator when tightening the supply line. This will ensure that there is no stress placed on the inlet valve. Just my 2 cents, but a very informative video.

[@kevinengland8626]

Thanks, dude! We just moved into an apartment that had a neglectful occupant. There is a sketchy stove here, and the oven won't even turn on. I saw a nice unit, but I was a bit concerned about safety. This video has removed *layers* of concern! 💯

[@vapnut]

That "egg in a hole" concoction your daughter was making we used to call "Egg in the nest" when we were young-uns.

[@evojutsu]

Just a note there are three types of adapters in different sizes that allow you to connect your gas line to stove/oven. For example, the newer yellow gas line has its own adapter it comes with BUT you need to change your gas line stem/cap- it will not connect . The old silver gas line as shown in the video has its own adapter which you can buy to attach your NEW stove. Go to your Home Depot and they will find the right piece it’s $5-6. So you don’t need to change your gas stem/switch line.

[@BenjaminPhillipsI]

Excellent! Concise and loved how you plugged your daughters cooking show...adorable

[@jeffsnow1519]

An excellent 'how to ' video. My gas stove needed to be replaced. Had never done this before and the step by step directions were superb. Thank you.

[@rrfelt]

Just curious did you also have the shut off valve for the gas behind your stove? Ty

[@jeffsnow1519]

Yes. The gas valve to the gas line was directly on the other side of the wall. The location of the valve is not as important as having the stove line properly hooked up to the gas line.

All the other videos I've seen on this made me think I should just pay someone the $300... but, after your video I will attempt the installation my self in my new construction home. Seems simple enough, really is plug and play.

[@jamesblauch123]

Thank you for your great assistance video. Only issue was the gas piping adapter. Lowes only carried 1/2"-1/2" or 3/4"-3/4"; and, my existing line was 3/4" with the stove having a 1/2". needed a 3/4"-1/2" adapter. Before viewing your video, I tried to remove the adapter from my 18+ year old slide-in range and couldn't get it to budge. After viewing your video and finding the problem at Lowes, I returned home and tried to remove it again. Since the oven ignitor had outlived its life, I exerted enough pressure to get it off. Cleaned the adapter and reinstalled. Worked perfectly thanks to your video assistance.

[@joehumble6698]

You are very helpful and easy to follow your instructions. Thank you for your time and efforts and it’s appreciated.

[@Scdny]

Thank you. That was very clear and simple. There were two steps that were implied, but not explicitly shown: attaching the hose to the adapter on the stove, and attaching it to the valve on the wall. It's not a big deal, but installing a gas line is a little anxiety producing, so the more steps shown the better.

[@cameronjackson8947]

Tape or not to tape? That is the question...

[@ctuso]

Just had this conversation with the plumber who redid my gas line yesterday. Do NOT use regular plumbers tape. The natural gas will dissolve it over time and can cause leaks. You must use the tape specifically made for gas. (yellow).

[@HtownKurt]

What about the residual gas in hose after closing valve? Where do I get the adapter? This video is awesome thank you

There really isn’t enough gas in the line to be much of a concern. Your local hardware store should sell hoses and adapter kits.

Always put in new hose. Reason is they are compression fitting and one use only for safety critical applications. Reusing compression fittings is asking for trouble, whether it is gas line or water line. Hilarious that video title says how not to blow up the house Change the hose. It is better to be safe than sorry

[@tommytinajero2778]

[@tattoo329413]

Super good video. This is the most thorough installation video I've seen

[@jimmayors2315]

Thanks for the helpful video. Two questions: 1. did the gas pipe adapters come with the unit, or did you need to buy them somewhere (if so, where did you get them)? 2. is that standard teflon pipe tape (paste), or is that something special for gas applications? (I've seen yellow tape somewhere)

[@GreenMountain565]

jim mayors you can buy a new flex line gas kit any any major retailer and they will come with various threaded and flared ends depending on your need. You can use either the yellow Teflon tape that’s made strictly for gas/ propane or you can use pipe “dope” as shown in the video.

[@jimmayors2315]

Before u unbolt the gas, the gas must be purged, also must check if gas supply is halted. Do this by running one of the stove burners untill it flames out and wont restart

Should you also spray the pipe coming in from the wall, to check for leaks?

[@JayLav-kk6wj]

You should have replaced the gas line because there is a compression fitting on the female connection to the stove. Once its been compressed (fitted to old stove) its now compromised. Just a safety thing for me. Otherwise, good video; spoke clearly, kept it simple and the video angles were good.

[@jxtdenco6984]

Do you put the T+2 pipe dope on the adapter you installed where it connects to the gas line? Do you put T+2 on the 1/4 turn gas shutoff where it connects to the flexible gas line? You did not show this in you video.
