Thanks for the demo. I've seen some YTs which reccommend using a torque wrench to the specified tightness, but I see you feel it's adequate to hand tighten + a quarter turn with a wrench. That will save me some money for the first time I've done this since helping my Dad about 65 years ago, and pribably my last time, as I am 78. But I am doing it for NG inside my house, so I want to get it right. (I suspect it is not up to code for gas today, but it was when this old house was built, about 100 years ago, and the house is still here. 😮
Be careful. Take your time and do it right. Gas is. Nothing to play around with. Make sure to test for leaks. And thanks for watching.
We use a flair connection for hooking copper water service to the water main! Also pack joint couplings(ford fittings) if we need a coupling. Or joining copper to poly.
Edit: we always used the flaring tool that stick in the pipe and hit with a hammer. Took some practice!
Old school hammer flaring is a lost art. I used to do k copper gas lines underground for pool heaters. Had to hammer flair all of them. Mostly one inch and some 1-1/4. Good job and thanks for watching
