new gas line not taking gas
Comments (31)Success!!!!! Rustyj14, I was all set to get on line here and post no way to getting that bolt up high enough. I did not think it could be done but was able to get it up enough to pull the starter out enough to get the gear on. Thanks for telling me not to take that fly wheel off. Mownie, I ended up using a socket, 10MM which fit perfectly over the top of that part to get that little C piece to snap into place. Put the socket over it and gave it a few taps and it fell right into place. Started right up. Now the next issue, ran it for a while and got a cut in but by the time I was done it was starting to miss and chugging along. I do have an oil leak somewhere that I have to find and I am also going to change both belts. Bought a Carb repair kit also. Where would you check first for an oil leak? Also put the new plugs in but did not replace the spark plug covers. Was going to clean them out with Brake cleaner. Any thoughts appreciated.

Comments (4)If your water is that alkaline, it will affect everything it flows through. Treatment device is recommended, but a water test would be a first step. The degree turn of a single way ball valves' handle is standard 1/4,90 degrees. The main crieria in your case would be a "full port", wherein the hole bored in the ball is at least equal to line size. Whether the valve on the inlet assists flushing is questionable. A flush rig entered through the drain valve (good place for a full port ball) yields better results. Can't comment on efficiency of a gas furnace/wh for your situation without further info about your particular conditions & habits....See MoreCan I run a new copper gas line off of this?
Comments (7)Although I have run natural gas lines myself, I strongly recommend hiring a qualified plumber to do the job. Copper pipe may be allowed in your area, but my experience has been with black pipe for main runs and CSST flexible pipe for short runs within buildings. There is also a flexible pipe approved for exterior applications, but I don't know the name or specification. Many brands of gas pipe fittings are not readily available to consumers because the manufacturer requires certification before you can buy them. The inspector will require pressure testing before your permit is approved. Leak testing and finding leaks is a very tedious process if all the joints were not done properly.

Comments (11)Only one bonding location is required. The bonding requirement requires that grounding be connected to a brass (CSST) fitting, a steel manifold, or any rigid pipe components, so you may already be properly bonded at a location other than at the CSST tubing connections, so look around. Also, you are not allowed to ground directly to the CSST corrugated tubing (might arc and cause a pinhole). The CSST tubing itself does not require a separate grounding connection because the tubing is grounded via a brass nut that captures a steel ring around a corrugation which is then screwed tight into the brass fitting, this establishes and electrical path between the rigid and flexible sections of piping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QiNMnDdXQ8...See MoreUser
