Two sharp pipe wrenches make the job much smoother. A crescent wrench is really useful for the brass fittings. You’re always working in tight places, so there’s a lot of techniques on how to plan out your work so you can get the job done. Plumbing is kind of a creative process. Sometimes even the best of plans will take a turn in a better way.

I love how you sloppily apply the pipe joint compound so that you get it inside the pipe, eventually making it inside of the gas valve and/or orifice of the heater so that you get a return service call. Great idea for increasing one's business! Thanks for this - I had never thought about it!

Note to self; don’t take piping advice from a gas fitter who runs his piping right in front of a pressure/temperature gauge, applies pipe dope with his finger, uses a pipe wrench with a sales tag still attached and runs a flex connector inside of a wall. Just my 2 cents.

[@chorizobear8447]

Would the flex connection be ok if he didn't cover the wall?

[@Wrenchturner300]

I woulda got sent home for wresting so much with my wrench on the valve instead of closing it to get the handle out of the way

[@ryantettenburn940]

Also, the nipple going through the 2X4 needs to be a couple inches longer. If there is a leak there it'll be harder to spot being buried in the middle of wood.

He also can assemble the whole line including valve and turn to tighten to save time . Why drill thru the stud when you can add steel clamp and attach to outside of the stub . This way for more space to turn the fitting .

Wow! What an awesome video! First, production value. Your shots are all in sharp focus, tight enough to see exactly what is going on yet wide enough to orient us well so we have context. I really like your voice over, too. By shooting first and doing the voiceover to the video we get a consistent narration explaining the shot and keeping us ready for the next nugget of information. The information you shared was probably better than spending two weeks on the job. You did everything in the order we would be doing them, so unlike Pulp Fiction, we have a logical progression of how we'll be doing our own installations. You knocked it out of the park, and I really appreciate it. The knowledge you shared has given me the confidence to do my own little installation. You are why KZbin exists. PS: Here's a quote from Mark Twain's letter to the Hartford (Connecticut) gas company. Off the subject a little, but typically humorous as Twain's writings usually were: Dear Sirs: "Some day you will move me to the verge of irritation by your chuckle-headed G-damned fashion of shutting your G-damned gas off without giving any notice to your G-damned parishioners. Several times you have come within an ace of smothering half of this household in their beds and blowing up the other half by this idiotic, not to say criminal, custom of yours. And it has happened again to-day. Haven’t you a telephone?" - Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)

Good information to help a homeowner to understand the process, but may not be a DIY project. Check with your city, county, state, province...etc. before attempting any work on your gas lines. In my province ( in Canada) gas lines can ONLY be worked on by certified professional gas fitters that are accredited by TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Association). Besides the issues of safety and the heavy fines involved, your homeowner's insurance policy will be null and void (unable to obtain home insurance from any insurance provider in the future) if your handywork is discovered or if damage occurs as a result.

Have you hear of a tool called channel locks ? And use actual pipe dope with a brush and blue monster tape it works the best

[@707SonomaComa]

Dam, did you cram enough crap inside the pipe? Betting install a 2 foot sediment trap. Fantastic narration though!

[@DONALD1951]

Use a pipe dope brush. Not your fingers. Keep the dope off the ends of the pipe.. Use gloves.

[@anonymousbyproxy8250]

Brush is too soft for pipe dope. Using gloves is a waste. Just wipe off fingers and u’ll be fine. If u don’t want to get dirty just use a wood spatula.

[@av3nt4dor8]

At least he showed you how to do it

[@gyver471]

Just use megaloc and gloves not your fingers.

One of the best videos i've seen.

[@jacksplumbingvideos7147]

If this is the best video you have seen then you must be watching some really bad videos as the advice in this video is really bad.

[@ronaldlabelle7274]

Here in Ontario Canada it would be a code infracted. You are not to branch off of a drip leg servicing another's appliance.

[@joaquinsolorio6810]

Red tag for sure can't put a flex inside a wall and black pipe outside need to be painted for protection

[@mypointofblue5260]

Thanks for the video! I'm getting ready to replace a gas cook top for the first time, and had intended on using a crescent wrench on the black pipe that my shutoff value is screwed into. Glad I stopped here first. I actually learned some stuff!

[@greatsoutherntrendkill79]

You don’t ever put your wrench on an open end of pipe or a valve you could egg that end and never get anything into it you always turn from the body or the other and that already has pipe in it.

[@sk8manofjapan]

what a great instructor.

[@jacksplumbingvideos7147]

the advice in this video is bad, do not use it because the way he did this was wrong and could create really bad issues.

[@phrepster]

As a plumber, this was hard to watch.

[@DonaldDump2024]

Why? The bare hands applying pipe dope?

[@bravomarlon91]

yes it was. I thought this was a parody. Pissed me off

[@socksincrocks4421]

Garbage craftsman. I wouldn't hire this person to sweep my driveway

[@coach3132]

Very hard to watch

[@MisterGreenGuy]

@@DonaldDump2024Im a master plumber and this video is scary. 3 code violations and many other mistakes/bad advice. NEVER use an appliance flex connector in the wall... EVER! Never reuse a flexible hose (they're one time use). Do not purge (bleed gas line) indoors (Google "gas line odor fade"). Pending lawsuits in many states (mine included) due to fatalities purging indoors. These are the type of handymen that cause explosions and hes on youtube teaching other people how to do it. Scary.

[@keyzielock9970]

Don't tighten across a fitting or valve. Placing torque across the fitting can ruin valves. Always use a second wrench for back up and ensure the wrench is equal in size or greater than your driving wrench. This will allow for greater control of your fitting alignment and tighter final connections. This is imperative for larger pipe sizes. An inch of pipe shoulder should be visible when penetrating through a surface (minimum) such as a stud. An appliance connector should not be concealed. The first 2 male starter threads should also be bare and free of dope to prevent contamination of the piping internals. Exterior gas piping should be painted. Your wrench usage, layout, and general sequence of operation indicates a lack of experience. It didn't leak though.

[@davidsouza5374]

Do a tutorial to show us.

[@pamroyer2648]

Thanks Ken. Now I think I can do this!

[@thejaxter6384]

Please don't!

[@tonys4751]

It's a good video to see how you tighten pipes but there were a few things that didn't seem well thought out. 1. the flexible cable between the studs 2. the pipe through the stud is too short and 3. not aligned with elbow, looks crooked 4. blocking the pressure gauge makes no sense. 5. so messy with the paste which is indicative of the complete design

[@SoCal9705]

If you are connecting a gas line INSIDE your gas powered dryer, can you use teflon tape? Or is pipe dope still better? Keep in mind these fittings may need to be disconnected again someday to replace dryer parts.

[@pacomiguel6923]

I always use both Teflon and dope. But never I the flex hoses

[@ronaldlabelle7274]

Call a professional please

[@walterbrunswick]

PTFE only is legal in most U.S. states and in Ontario Canada check with local jurisdiction
