I'm a gas fitter and the only thing I would of done differently is put a pipe stand off bracket on the outside wall so the pipe is supported and cant be turned at the elbow in case someone bumps it into accidently, which is code in my local jurisdiction. Another minor thing is that you aren't supposed to trim the jacket of the CSST line so far back, only enough so that you can put the compression ring on. You shouldnt be able to see bare metal. Clean work otherwise 👍

You did good but a few things, going to a exterior wall you should use galv pipe, last thing you want is the pipe to rust from the elements. And last you shouldnt use teflon on gas pipe, teflon dope only bc the tape can dislodge from the threads and can travel down the lines and cause a blockage. But good job and nice and clean.

Hey. Great vid. So the line feeding the fireplace was a 1/2" flex? To 3/8" or was the fireplace 1/2 all the way? Then you t'd the flex ro black pipe 1/2" out the wall to 3/8". Could you not have t'd with 1/2" flare and ran 1/2" copper through the wall? I was thinking of doing a line and was going to do just that, tap the water heater 1/2" copper with flare and run 1/2 copper out the wall. Thankyou.

Kind of a basic question, I've run into this before, when you put that right angle fitting you obviously had the direction in mind (to the left), how do you gauge how tight is too tight to get the angle that you want (basically you want it going left instead of ending up pointing right)

I recently moved my BBQ and needed to buy a longer NG hose (was 6'-0", now 12'-0"). It arrived today from Amazon but the male fitting that goes into the quick-disconnect is 3/4" dia. The existing male fitting is .565" dia. (9/16"). The new hose comes with a new quick-disconnect piece but I need a licensed gas fitter in my area to perform the change out (presumably). Do you know if I can purchase a NG hose with a 9/16" male fitting that will fit into my existing quick-disconnect? You seem very knowledgeable and so I presume you are in fact a gas fitter yourself.

Hi Stephen, BBQ gas hoses and fitting sizes can get confusing. I was able to find this article on sizing: mbsturgis.com/media/documents/buying-guide.pdf I would think your existing hose is 3/8" based off of the article? The 2 most common quick connect sizes for BBQs are 3/8" and 3/4". There's a large selection of 3/8" BBQ hoses on Amazon. It might be the best bet to exchange the hose and then you don't have to get a gasfitter out to change the fitting. Thanks for the question!

Interesting. Never seen seen that style before but it sounds like a great, safe idea. They are not required here but the female side quick connect/disconnect will only flow gas with the male fitting fully inserted. Without the male fitting inserted no gas will flow out of the female fitting, even with the gas valve in the open position. Your system is still safer though.

Question. How come you couldn’t just run a 1/2 to 3/8 shut off valve to the quick connect. I did mines the exact same way with the 90 degree to 1/2 to the shut off to 1/2 nipple connected to a 1/2 to 3/8 reducer to a 3/8 nipple to the quick connect. That’s what I’ve been reading and many people do it this way. But my question would be why just eliminate the reducer by using 3/4 to 3/8 fitting. If you can answer me that would be great because I can’t find why it has to be done this way.

A 1/2" x 3/8" threaded gas certified shut off valve isn't very common. My distributor doesn't carry them. You're absolutely right, this would eliminate the need for a reducer. 1/2" threaded x 3/8" flared shut offs are common but that wouldn't help in this scenario.

Technically no. It depends on your local and national laws. Almost all areas would require a license gasfitter to complete this work. Some areas would require a permit, pressure test, and inspection completed. Some areas allow home owners to complete the work, but it has to be signed off by a licensed gas fitter. Then the liability is passed on to the gas fitter that inspected the work. It is up to the homeowner to research local codes to confirm what they are allowed to work on or not. Let it be electrical, plumbing, framing, HVAC, etc.

If you have any black iron pipe in the system, it is a good idea to terminate the end of line going down. The gas tap gets a tee off the vertical on the horizontal so that any rust, etc., falls to a cap at the bottom while the gas line to the grill is protected. This avoids having to fight with rust in the grill burner or regulator. As for your leak test, not so much. I was required to pass a 100 PSI for 24 hours test.

@@bullmoosepiper7732 Gas pipe, including rigid, cannot be used for grounding. The pipe is bonded, not grounded. Two entirely different purposes. Bonding is simply the act of mechanically connecting two or more conductive materials together to establish a conductive path between them.

@@The1badjack thank you for the correction. You’re right and I mix these terms up all the time. So question for you - Home Flex’s instructional video which you can find on YT says that if the rigid has line is bonded, then that is a safe installation for CSST. What do you recommend in terms of properly and safely installing CSST?
@leefinnigan1279
@leefinnigan1279 3 жыл бұрын
The reason gas piping is bonded is due to the fact that as the gas moves in the pipes, it generates a static charge. The bonding cable allows that static energy to harmlessly dussipate to ground. Much better then causing sparks from a gas line.

There would not be. The connector at the end is in an "off" position unless there is a hose attached to it. If you retracted the collar though you would hear/ smell the gas being released.

In most areas it's cheaper to run natural gas than propane. Natural gas BBQs on average are slightly more expensive but usually pay for themselves in gas usage. The biggest benefit though is never running out of gas or exchanging/filling tanks.

According to the local building inspector, galvanized pipe is acceptable for gas line use. In the late 1900's it was approved due to the improvements in galvanizing technology. Apparently, early galvanizing processes were prone to the zinc coating flaking off and plugging orifices, etc. but now it is no longer an issue.

Something bugs me about the way it goes from hard pipe to flex and then back to hard pipe. I would have put a tee on the pipe that feeds the fireplace instead of splitting the flex.

While I’m hard core DIY, for home insurance reasons I always pull a city permit. Otherwise any accident that could be attributed to my work WOULD be attributed and I’d be left paying out of pocket. And if anyone got injured, liability (unpermited installation = gross negligence) skyrockets while insurance again becomes a problem. I’m not that comfortable with gas codes so I’d also hire someone licensed even if not required.

Whether the home owner can or can not do the work depends on local laws and regulations. Some do not permit the work to be done other then by a licensed gas fitter, others allow the home owner to do the work and ether need a gas fitter to certify the work (and affix thire licence number to the work) or call an inspector to review the work. To be fair you will not find many professionals who would want to attach thire license to some random homeowners work.... the price will probably be close to if not greater then the cost of them doing the work as they are assuming the liability. When in doubt, just get a gas fitter

I realize this is 5 months late, but: If your BBQ originally used propane, you need to replace the burner in it with a natural gas one. Alternatively I think you can drill the gas holes out bigger, as natural gas does not put out as much BTU per cu.ft. as propane. I think I got that right. You'll have to search a BBQ specialist to tell you how MUCH bigger the holes have to be. Myself, I just bought a natural gas replacement burner as the old propane one was rusted out anyway.

Of course they say that. It's all part of the system set up by Unions, the politicians they put in office, and the sweetheart regulations they get in exchange. Regulations are getting so out of control here in California. Every year they make more and more home repairs illegal if done by the home owner, forcing you to spend hundreds of dollars for a professional even for the most trivial of things. A few years ago they also made it illegal to do any auto repair in your garage if the scope of it is beyond an oil change. Oh well.. guess i'm an outlaw now.
