had a gas line installed to convert my electric stove top a gas one


this is what it looks like

I don't have all the parts yet, but looking at this, do I need a coupler (like this) before I can hook it up to an adapter that connects to the flex connector?

if I don't post in the next few days I think we all know what happened, bless you all

I say this as an electrician, please don't fuck around with gas. Not sure where you are located and what laws you have but if that goes wrong then kiss goodbye to half of your street.

Just get a qualified dude in it will probably take him 2 minutes and cost peanuts and then won't invalidate your insurance should your house go

 

[RJMacready73]

Are you a simpleton? You don't self install a fucking gas stove jesus, go look up the Darwin Awards as you are a fucking future candidate

 

[chakadave]

Yeah I mean I'm all for doing stuff but I wouldn't mess around with high voltage or gas. Get a professional to do it and watch him do it

make sure u got a gas alarm installed and use a detector to make sure theres no leaks... on top of proper handling of the key valves. Last thing you need is a faulty valve that leaks indefinitely

 

[TheUsual]

Call your plumber and have them do this.

Not sure if serious.

If you were dealing with installing a water faucet or similar, at worst it could be messy, but not dangerous.
But gas is very dangerous. So do yourself a favour and get a certified technician.

Well in the off chance that he is cuz man, I got a few friends that are legit darwin award candidates.

With that advice I might nominate you for the award as well.

 

[AJUMP23]

Pay for someone to do your gas line. That is the safest and is normally a couple hundred bucks.

 

[poppabk]

If you are asking for help on Neogaf then you really shouldn't be doing this yourself.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

That fitting is the male end for a gas flex connector. This isn't a hard thing to do but if you have to ask you probably shouldn't be doing it.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

The valve in this picture is an example of what i believe you have. I dont know where the rest of the kit is.

nice. so just plug the flex connector straight on that sucker? (no compound/sealant)

Please stop.

 

[12Goblins]

was good knowing yall

 

[poppabk]

Just be careful and use a good leak detector

 

[Hrk69]

Just turn off the main valve before doing anything

 

[Hookshot]

Make sure to add a dab of bright paint around the seal so you can see if the gas is leaking into the air after you are done.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

if you are really deadset on doing this, you can detect leaks around the faucet/connectors with soapy water, if you turn on the main and you see bubbles forming you fucked up.

What's the worst that can go wrong if you make a mistake?

This literally happened to my best friend early this year. Him and his entire family are gone, his dad wanted to hook up the stove himself.

OP please hire a professional.

 

[thefool]

 

[Esca]

Get someone that is certified. Could be an issue as well if something does happen and you installed it and insurance might not cover it or right like hell not to.
My father knew how to do it when we converted to gas decades ago but we had it installed sure to issue I mentioned above

 

[ReBurn]

If you ever suddenly stop posting we'll know why.

Just use rubber hose and clamps.

 

[Mistake]

This should help

I paid a professional about $800 to run a line to my kitchen because there’s no way I’d DIY something like that when I don’t know shit about shit.

Love the gas stove though!

Wait- OP already has the line run? If that’s the case just hook that shit up, you’ll smell a leak.

 

[LimanimaPT]

Well, this looks like a great idea. What could go wrong?

Yeah he said he had a line run. Thats already in place. He is just attaching the hose and pushing the stove in.
perfect video for the OP.

It acutally isn't that hard.

OP, don't get a grow on either, before you get any ideas. If you are still alive.
