Tracpipe fitting

[@josephschindler2482]

Not 100% sure but i believe the fittings just need 3 corrugated sections (ridges) to attach properly.

[@dbrank28]

Joseph Schindler that’s the new kind. On those you don’t take the ring out

[@michealreinier7791]

yea, might want to watch the clip from the manufacturer, they have no stainless tubing exposed

[@markk8225]

That's for the newer SnapTite fittings.

[@palmtree5544]

Doesn't anyone use the proper wrenches instead of butchering the fittings.

[@jaxsonhugh9334]

LOL 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@aaronshindel2535]

No

[@patdelaney6504]

Lol.

[@rickz6761]

Hello, can you tell me if this product is OK for underground? Thanks in advance

[@advancedheatingandaircondi2004]

No. This product is not suited for direct earth contact. Meaning you should not bury it directly. If you need to go underground with it, it should go through a conduit. I recommend visiting the manufacturers website for additional details.

[@Mbuckxx]

thanks for the great explanation

[@tedallen9078]

his instructions are suspect. he is not completely wrong. since natural gas is very dangerous. please know the exact engineering requirements. here are the manufacturer's specifications. table 4-4 page 28 of the trac pipe manual, the december 2016, edition, the fgp-fst-500 1/2" fitting, shown in this video, requires 42 ft lb of torque. pressure test all fittings. complacency is a killer. on brass fittings use adjustable wrenches. the teeth on the wrenches he is using will tear into the brass. proper torque and pressure testing will not only save yourself but your neighbors and community as well.

[@chrisbrown2056]

"Adjustable wrenches"... .. "42ft lbs." You must be using those mythical adjustables with a torque indicator! :-) Being shown it is *Approximately* 1 full turn is way more usable advice in practice.

[@tedallen9078]

@@chrisbrown2056 i'll stick with the manufacturer's specifications.

[@chriscanzanese5063]

They actually do make adjustable wrenches that give torque readings, but if you need one to not blow your neighbors house up, you shouldn’t be doing this anyway.

[@tedallen9078]

go ahead and answer the attorneys' question at the deposition as to why you failed to follow manufacturer's instructions. go pick a fight somewhere else. take the last word. i don't give a f**k. @@chriscanzanese5063

[@johnturner4400]

I’m guessing this is your first joint

[@palmtree5544]

You should tighten your cutter wheel at different points in the rotation.

[@paulallen-01]

He literally did. Did you not watch the vid lol

[@gotchaplumber]

Awesome!

[@spencer03hill]

Cut 4 rings back and your hood to go👍🏻 this is way to in depth should’ve only been a quick 5 min job explaining why only 4 rings back as my boss did when I was learning.

[@budlover97]

Straight up bro

[@k956upg]

Funny watching someone who isn't used to tools & using £1 shop spanners....job done though..👍

[@doublezmtnman]

You must be careful when cutting the sleeve so that thin stainless doesn’t get scored by the knife blade creating a weak point

[@advancedheatingandaircondi2004]

Agreed. Thank you for mentioning that. There are several updates and corrections I would make to the video.

[@doublezmtnman]

@@advancedheatingandaircondi2004 no problem I like using the ccst gas line but it does have a few things to take precautions about

[@lawrencecyril7078]

You're not supposed to see the stainless steel when the nut is installed and two adjustable crescents are better to tighten the nuts

[@markk8225]

You should not see the stainless steel using the newer SnapTite fittings. He's using the older flare fitting, which should leave stainless exposed.

[@firemarshal17]

2 1/2"? I don't think so. That is not what the manufacturer says

[@cvconnor]

Your instructions are incorrect.

[@talbertjm]

Hi Chris, was watching the video you commented on. I have to attach the same adaptor, can you tell me what you didn't like about his instructions. I don't want to screw this up. Thanks

[@chuckweatherford1601]

should be using crescent wrench not chanlocks.

[@advancedheatingandaircondi2004]

Agreed. Thank you for mentioning that. There are several updates and corrections I would make to the video.

[@kevincubillos4937]

This video was not done by a pro, if you need instructions on how to do gas work, you should probably not be doing it

[@1o1carolina53]

[@deanriver9388]

Wrong

[@Roadglide2020.]

Its pretty obvious that you don't do this every day
