Brandon Whitmore Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Do any of you recognize this gas line/ connector? I'm trying to figure out if it's allowed for this use, but the label is too faded to read. I'm leaning towards No. Click to Enlarge 47.98 KB Click to Enlarge 44.93 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Is it metal? Looks like it could be easily damaged and not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI in AR Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Looks like your garden variety flexible appliance connector -- and that ain't an appliance it's connected to, so it's not an appropriate use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 It looks like an appliance connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 LV appliance connector. LV = low visibility, for stuff like gas logsets and grills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 The whole installation is kind of fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Whitmore Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Yes, it is metal. It looks like appliance connector, it's just a much bigger diameter than I am used to seeing. Also, it is much easier to bend than the smaller diameter connectors. The first thing I thought of was that a chihuaha could bite through it with one nip. Oh well, the report just says "I don't think it's allowed, but have your HVAC tech. verify while fixing the other crap"....well, something along those lines. Thanks guys.

John Kogel Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 The first thing I thought of was that a chihuaha could bite through it with one nip. That's good. Can I use that one?One more unsolved mystery. If the rest of the installation is good solid black pipe, why? [?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it's yours. There's the connector, then solid pipe, then CSST once it hits the crawlspace. I guess they forgot about copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 The first thing I thought of was that a chihuaha could bite through it with one nip. That's good. Can I use that one?. . . I've mentioned it before, but my neighbor's black lab did, indeed, bite through her copper propane line. She lost an entire tank of propane. The dog was emotionally scarred and, even years later, refused to go anywhere near the new propane line. I'm not sure if it was just scared by the sudden release of smelly gas or if it got frostbite on its lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
