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.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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
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
