Installing a Gas Ball Valve and a Universal Gas line Kit 

Installing a Gas Ball Valve requires to follow step by step safety instructions. You made it happen very well by providing detail procedure how to do it. Congratulations! Great way of teaching and helping others!

Defining MIP for everyone is very important, nicely done. That and no pipe sealant on flare connections and you present in a way that keeps people watching and hear the safety precautions without harping. This Old House should take lessons from you, keep up the good work!

You really have a knack of explaining thoroughly what you are showing us in your videos! I appreciate the learning experiences! Thank you!

If teachers were like you we would all be smart. GREAT JOB thank you sir.

as a nonenglish speaker, I do understand every step you taught! Salute and respect

Another very informative and easy yo follow video. You make it so easy to follow along on your repairs. Thanks for sharing.

Best video I’ve found on this subject! Great job and thank you!

Excellent video. Keep up the great work!

perfect video . im doing a new dryer just like this. i turned gas off 1 quarter turn andstove flame went out it had that lock nut on the meter too

Not a lot of wiggle room in that corner 😳 No gas leaks wanted 😬 I am on a slab and can't have gas, and sometimes I really miss having gas. Very handy information 🐾🦊🐺🐾

What a phenomenal tutorial!

Thank you for a great video!

Exellent tutorial!

Great video. Thank you

You can also use dish soap and water in a spray bottle to check for leaks

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you!

THANK YOU 🥰

Thanks for the video. Quick question: Replacing a dryer here. I already have a brasscraft safety valve installed on my iron pipe (has ball valve upstream) from my previous dryer. Can I undo the hose from the safety valve and just use the new yellow hose with new fittings on the new dryer, or should I undo the safety valve and replace that as well?

Paid a plumber $425 to replace 3 of these today....wish I would have watched this video first!!

Can I use your method to hook up the stove? Thank you

I'm installing a gas range and find this video very informative. Thanks for sharing and explanation of the parts.

Where can I find the video on how to turn on and off this type of valve

So if I keep having trouble with my meter the screen keeps going off and any money is lost Can I get some gas flexible pipe turn the gas off Undo the pipe bolt then add the new flex pipe to the other pipe that feeds the boiler I’ll use all the seal stuff then turn the switch on again so all is flowing

Hello there, i am installing a new flexible gas line just like the one you have here that came with that safety gas valve , my question is... in my setup i have my gas shutoff valve,then i have a very small nipple and a elbow that goes upwards,i would very much like to keep this setup because it works well for me but i see people installing this safety gas valve right next to' the shutoff valve, im not sure how the little nipple i have and the elbow pointing upwards would hurt anything but i figured i would ask, all I'm doing is extending the distance by maybe 4 inches (elbow and nipple) between the gas shutoff valve and my new safety valve, you think this will be OK? thank you for your time.

Very informative video as always. Why were you having to install a new gas ball valve? Pretty frightening to know that they installers who should know what they are doing and don't do it properly. This is absolutely not a job for someone not sure of what they are doing.

wow lol, you disassembled the valve to remove the tag. you couldve just cut it with scissors.

excellent

Only difference is I use the tape

At 13:30 you mention what connections need pipe sealant. Although you used sealant on the correct threads, your explanation is not correct. The fitting you show is a flare fitting, and is Not a tapered thread and does not seal at the threads. That smooth angled flat surface is the male side of the flare. the threads are straignt, not tapered. The threads on a flare fitting are there only to compress the flared surfaces together and that is what seals, not the threads. The other connections you made are tapered (NPT) fittings. the threads jamb together when tightened and the seal takes place in the thread when they jamb . you want pipe sealant on those threads because thread seals tend to not seal perfectly on their own.

dont buy the gas leak detection solution, use soap and water same shit, i paid $8.50 for 2 ounces, so thats 128 ounces in a gallon so a gallon would be $544.00

Folks, do not leave that old valve, remove it.

and this is how you do it if you are not a professional..what a bad job leaving that old valve

I would have put nipple into the valve first. IMO

Why didn't you just take the handle off when tightening the valve? Would have made things much easier and not risk damaging the valve.
