In part 2 of this installation we are doing the gas line in black pipe. I went downstairs into the cellar hole did a bunch of tape measurements ,went upstairs did a bunch of drawings, threw the first set in the trash ,did another and off to home depot or (cheapo if you wish)
I spent 3hrs putting mi list together with the help of a lady that was actually quite knowledgeable, to a point. I came home assembled the black pipe installed it and when it was time to hook up nothing fit.
The proper kit to the heater line did not fit, it went back 27.00 fot that mistake, The 3/4 inch fittings to the old line did not fit 3 each at 10.00 ,they went back. I forgot a 3 foot piece of black pipe, so much for planning. I could not get a piece of flex pipe 3/4 inch from the heater to the furnace so I had to settle for ridged
black pipe, 3 more elbows and 2 6 inch short lengths, still did not fit .I have to go back and get one more pipe 5 inches and put the whole thing back together .The transition lines from the old to the new still have to be figured out and im not paying the gas company $60.00 to come in and do a 10 minute job for the hookup . I have dish soap also.
