Here is the kit I used: BrassCraft Universal Installation Kit for Gas Range- amzn.to/3xZ6mFJ Jobs like this would be easier if you had wrenches like the one I used here- amzn.to/3NnrafS
That is actually not a compression fitting, it is a flared fitting. A small dab of sealer on the threads is a good idea. You're right, it doesn't seal on the threads, but it lubricates the nut when you tighten it down. Also, you be amazed at how many of those old valves are leaking a little. A gas installer told me about 30 or 40% of them leak a bit. I would change it to a 1/4 turn valve with teflon seals. Well worth the $8.00 or so it'll cost.
Thanks for the vid. This is the second video where the creator mentions to not use tape/compound on the side the hose connects. Great information and know what to do now. Thank you!
Oh good catch, I skipped my thought process there. Ya if that's the case then you need to see if you can tighten more as it may be loose. Otherwise you would have to look at the connection at the threads. There may be something wrong with them there or something. But almost always if you see a leak you just need to tighten it more. Thanks for the question there, I'm sure anyone it will help anyone else having that question too.
Do you reply to comments? Lol I’m struggling to put in my new stove… the gas line does not match w the new gas pipe and I can’t get the adaptor off the stove 🥲
Yeah I had the same issue with my gas line for stove. The installation techs didn’t wanna touch it so I had to call a professional to install a new gas valve. Cost me like 350 now I’m here watching videos just in case the stove tech can’t install the new kit…
Thanks I did a lot of research on this model before I bought it and felt pretty comfortable with it. The funny thing with appliances like this is there are always a ton of bad reviews for all of them lol, so far I'm happy with it
@@thecraigofalltrades I had no issues for the first couple of years then the igniter stopped working, ended up replacing that twice, then after about 8 years the oven would drop temperature after heating, maybe 8 years is the average life expectancy for them but I expected better. I could have replaced the control board but figured the igniter was next so just moved on. I saw someone had a class action about them. I like Samsung monitors though, good panels :)
I loved my LG gas range. It lasted 13 years, until the touch pad started breaking apart. Then the buttons would not work and I would get an F-3 error message. The top burners were fine, never had trouble with them, but I can no longer use the oven or broiler. We looked into replacing the touchpad, but we could not find the replacement anywhere. :( That's the problem, with electronic parts. I'm looking into an analog gas range.
ya that's fair, does the same thing. Really any cleaning product that gets bubbly would work but soap produces more bubbles to me so it's more reliable on pin hole type leaks.
As a plumber/pipefitter. You dope & TAPE everything. I was always taught to use both. For gas, it’s a special Teflon tape. Usually yellow. But regardless, dope/tape every joint
