• RU101 - AMERICAN STAND... Gas Pressure Regulator - 3/4"NPT needed after inspection WARDFLEX TUBING 20A STAINLESS STEEL GAS LINE 1/2 inches and 3/4 inches
I use Trac pipe flex line and fittings I use 1” as a main feed to a manifold and install a shutoff valve and label each line out of the manifold… yes I know it cost more to have 2 shutoffs at each line but it’s nice to have when servicing a single line
Nice job. Little tip though, put all your gas lines mounted on unistrut or stand-off split ring clamps, so you can get a pipe wrench on there to work on it in the future easy. Also, have you had good luck with just one big drip-leg / sediment trap before the manifold? I've had some gas inspectors tell me it's fine in some areas, and some tell me not to do it in others. Haven't done it at all really, cus as someone who started as a service plumber I've had to drain a few drip legs of sediment from hot taps and condensation and clean water heater burners in my time.
Plumber Man, you are correct (good eye). By not reaming the gas pipe it causes something called turbulence in the gas flow and it really doesn't matter what state you're in, but it is good to know the state of Texas is keeping you guys on the top of your game👍.
Since your main line is only 3/4 inch CSST I can assure you >you will get a loud whistle on a 2lb system with that large of a load ( I don't care what the sizing chart says). If it was me the main line would be black iron pipe or at least 1 inch CSST. 3/4" CSST is notorious for loud whistles with large loads on 2 lb.. Also why did you go with the yellow jacket CSST ? Black jacket lightning inhibiting CSST would have seem more appropriate for this type of job, especially on 2lbs.
@@go-diy , good to know. I have 35 years experience in the gas utility industry and in my retirement I still consult and give depositions when incidence occur throughout the country. As long as you're comfortable with the products you use and install them to the current national fuel gas codes you should be okay. The main thing is you stay current with the National Fuel gas codes and your local Municipal codes. Hope some of this helps and stay safe out there.
@@justocano143 , we use something called the longest run method for sizing fuel runs & that should be the number one step before any installation . As far as the CSST whistle that occurs sometimes with a large load on a 2 lb system; even though 3/4"CSST may meet the sizing criteria on a 2lb system we sometimes get a whistle and by increasing to 1" proves to eliminate the whistle in most cases. Hope some of this information helps and manufacturers recommendations should always be followed. Stay safe out there and keep learning👍.
I have done 2psi systems the 1inch upgrade would of made professional better choice,also why didnt you isolate each supply line with it's own shut off now you have to shut down the whole system, just asking. I always learned there's standard then there's above standard your work represent you.
Don't you need a Wardflex card and a gas fitter's license to be able to purchase Wardflex? I don't think this is any kind of Harry Homeowner type of install where you can "Do It Yourself"

You have to use a reamer after you cut bud.
No u dont
Nope, wrong
@@johnnymedrano7081you definitely always should ream
Wardflex make 1 piece manifolds that would have saved time, reduced leak potentials and looked a lot better. They have single and double sided ones.
He also should have held the fitting steady with another wrench to make sure it didn't turn while he was tightening the nut.
Anyone notice black iron pipe not reamed,required in tx.

i usually do longest length method and most distances are too far for this process.
clean job

Thanks for your opinion, I have been working with this material for 11 years and I never had any problem. 👍🏻

35 years!!! Now I understand your opinion is from the old school, the work goes with its respective codes and inspected by the county of the city
What size of csst should be inside the house 1/2 or3/4 my main line is 3/4 thanks

I have manifold in my basement I have one spot available can I run it out to my pool pump or do I have to tap by my meter?
Thank you
It is better to connect from the meter.
@@go-diy thank you

100%
I was looking thru the comments to see if any one caught that. He should’ve isolated each valve individually.
Should be clearly labeled gas stop at each port of manifold

maybe where you are from! this is natural gas not liquid and its only at a quarter psig
Channel locks on brass fittings? Way to chew up the soft metal. That's what a crescent wrench is for.
no they r not
regulator is missing.... good intentions.

was bonding the csst a requirement in your area
most likely
You pay the cost for Ward-flex and then use cheap "made-in-china" black iron fittings???
Why not use J.P.Ward fittings?
Buy the proper Wardflex cutter......don't use the same pipe cutter you use for everything else
Way to much pipe dope!!
