    Very useful info. I don't work in a maintenance job, I just wanted to disconnect my gas dryer. I was able to go to the big box store and get the right stuff. When the young man who was helping me handed me white nylon tape, I told him I needed the yellow tape. Grateful to have seen this video.

    Excellent presentation - brief and complete. I wasn’t aware of the need for yellow gas-rated tape versus white electrical tape.

    Thank you for keeping this video up after all of these years. Great time capsule, and evidence on how knowledge is everlasting!
    This was exactly what I needed for an unused gas line outside my home which prior house flippers never resolved.

    Thank you Mr. Ken for this video. I'm glad you and other professionals are here teaching us "unwashed" masses on how to do things like capping gas lines or replacing garbage disposals and such. I'm also glad that you and the others aren't opportunists that prey on people's ignorance on these skills by overcharging them. Thank you again, sir !

    Loved video. Yellow plumbers tape for gas is best thing I learned. Would have liked to see procedure on capping very old gas line coming into old gas heater. But, since you work mostly on commercial, I understand the industrial use factor of video. Thanks again for yellow tape tip! :)

    Thanks so much. With the workforce being what it is today, it was so nice to have someone explain how to do this. I am glad I did not buy what was given to me to purchase for the job from my local big box store. It would have been the wrong cap and the wrong tape. The visual was great too. Now I know specifically what I am looking for to do the job.
