Tracpipe fitting

This is a demonstration on how to connect solid brass track pipe fittings to stainless steel call you get it flex tubing.
Sorry about the angles on the video and some improperly use terminology.

[@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

[@Ingveyisnthome]

thanks for the great explanation

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

[@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

[@palmtree5544]

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

[@jaxsonhugh9334]

LOL 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@aaronshindel2535]

No

[@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.

[@johnturner4400]

I’m guessing this is your first joint

[@firemarshal17]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@chuckweatherford1601]

should be using crescent wrench not chanlocks.

WRONG WRONG WRONG

[@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

[@deanriver9388]

Wrong

[@Roadglide2020.]

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