Gas Dryer Installation

[@onenikkione]

Instructions unclear, installed 4 clothes line outside - wife not happy.

[@janessamorales9674]

😂

[@mariecollins3514]

The pipe fitter that came with the universal kit does fit the rear gas pipe which I find perplexing.

[@mauricelewis1650]

Did you find the adapter size you need on the back of the dryer

[@WizardofGOP]

I got killed in ten different ways before finally finishing this job. I hate it when that happens.

[@b.n.c.v5792]

What is that joke i LIKE I T

[@babyboinews6896]

@W Service if my three prong outlet is far away from my dryer what can I use to make it reach since you sa8d don't use a extension cord? The cord from the dryer doesn't reach the outlet.

[@babyboinews6896]

@W Service you said use 45's instead of 90's correct

[@xdunejunkiex]

These guys look like every appliance guy out there

[@eclecticmn4838]

I once put pipe dope on the flared fitting. It caused a gas leak so I had to clean it off.

[@terrencegibbons3351]

Is pipe joint compound necessary?

[@braydentober8706]

Recommended

[@tier3rd375]

It's required for all non-flared threaded fittings. This seals the joint and prevents gas leaks. Flared fittings don't require pipe joint compound because the seal is made at the flare, not the threads.

[@marcusbrown188]

Do I need a wrench?

[@johnny12895]

excellent , i couldn't think what to do because the bottom connection clearly need some type of adapter, i just assumed it be like a 3/8 to 3/8 coupling . But the use of the extension and the 90 pipe piece makes a lot sense. it all galvy pipe right ?

[@jimmys2103]

Pretty sure you’re supposed to use black iron for gas

[@davidhamm5626]

You always use black pipe, for gas installs.Galvinized will corrode, the inside will bubble , and the fitting will get pin holes.

WARNING,WARNIG WARNING!!! DO NOT WATCH THIS .

[@themechanic4222]

So why they sell the exhaust flex nationwide if it is not good or fire hazard

[@Woo-7073]

Dryerflex makes a great flexible dryer venting hose that is much more fire resistant and has better air flow than the cheap slinky foil vents. They partnered with GE ( part number PM08X10085DS ) and are now available at Home Depot for 24.99. Those cheap foil vents have paper and will catch fire. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooeVeKtuYtespac

[@calex2892]

I've been using the flexible one for 7 years now.

[@paulgush]

I presume that stuff is safe for electric dryers but not gas? That said, I'm trying to work out how on earth you hook up a vent on the side or back of a dryer to a solid metal exhaust tube...?

[@Pw6872]

At 3:56, the blue gas pipe compound application did not even BEGIN to cover the threads adequately. This would be a terrible gas connection. Sloppy work.

[@prophetseven728]

Ive seen a lot of people use a yellow gas tape. Whats the difference? Will either one work?

[@TheDeathLove]

@@prophetseven728 the yellow or white tape is for water connections not gas. No tape can seal gas joints

[@randallkornholio2971]

Yellow tape is for natural gas, many use tape then pipe dope on gas joints. But I don't think I would use it alone

[@phishfood]

@@TheDeathLove The yellow tape is "Manufactured especially for natural gas, propane, butane, water, oil and chemical lines"

[@Faithful9er4L]

Facts yellow tape is for gas lines. Red/white is for water lines depending on the diameter size

[@blazeaglory]

Wow people in this comment section have issues. Imagine being so stressed inside yourself, that you have to overly criticize a "how to " video just because a couple minor visual scenes are wrong, yet the narrator's instructions are spot on. I mean seriously, griping because the narrator said clockwise but OH NO DEAR GOD THE ACTOR TURNED IT, GASP, COUNTER CLOCKWISE...lol no wonder there's so many Karen's and Ken's out there. People must be really sad and or insecure inside themselves for whatever reasons...

[@amygentile2868]

lol, you sound like a downer. These comments are hilarious.😂

[@baddboo]

Are most pipes from the wall 1/2 or 3/8?

[@circuitfried4452]

yes

[@wonderfulmike5974]

1/2

[@shannonl7320]

Hell is listening to that narrators voice.

[@AnthonyPearson4JesusofNazareth]

Lol

[@amygentile2868]

Do you think he talks like that in real life? fun party trick

[@michaelboyce6309]

Thought flex should fall at a natural loop,rather than upwards less stress on pipe

[@lizzyzazueta357]

Did anyone notice the fact he said clockwise, and it shows the dude rotating counter clockwise. Then vise versa? Because some people don't know the difference. Haha!

[@Kinorhyncha]

You're correct as far as the top down view in this video. But clockwise & counterclockwise in mechanics are not affected by perspective. A right-handed thread, as these legs are, is always turned clockwise when it recedes into its hole, clockwise from the perspective of one standing behind (or in this case below) the screwdriver or wrench. As if the narrator you are laying on your back looking upwards towards the dryer. Works just like facing the front or back of a boat doesn't switch the sides of the boat referred to by "port" and "starboard".

This is copied from RepairClinic... why even upload a video if it's just a video from RepairClinic?? And they removed the repairclinic watermark.

[@dryver515]

Who copied who? Whirlpool video published Jun 2, 2017. RepairClinic video published Oct 30, 2017.

i dnt wnt 2 b a dryer installation guy. dnt wanna b same hair with those guys :p

[@darkaricus4226]

i really hate 2 prong

[@yujen1645]

Not sure if this video was informative or not, the voice is so annoying I could not focus.

[@g10prodriver76]

He got the clockwise and counter clockwise wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️👎🏼

[@Pw6872]

And then at 5:28, the washing machine hoses are NOT steel braid-encased. This is inexcuseably STUPID. To top it all off, the smarmy narrator is irritatingly pedantic-- like WE'RE the idiots!

[@Halabalooza]

Teflon tape better than compaund

[@prophetseven728]

I was wondering the same thing?

[@tier3rd375]

Teflon tape isn't rated for gas and should not be used for gas pipe threads.
