In this video I go over the complete process of how to connect your gas grill, griddle, or fryer directly to either natural gas or propane. We also discuss normal operating pressures and 2psi systems.

I love that your channel has blown up. You are so much easier to learn from and listen to than so many of those over the top videos. It’s no surprise other people enjoy your approach to videos and home projects.

Thanks for the videos! Debt free house purchase and Dave Ramsey reference - excellent along with all the sweat equity you put into it!!

I am a propane delivery driver, and sometimes help with service side of things when deliveries are slow. having a second stage regulator under a deck is a common practice, as long as a propane can semi-comfortably access that regulator for leak testing or have another second stage regulator with better access on same system. also as long ask your deck is not sealed under it. Also, your propane provider will be happy if you make a door in the floor of the deck for that regulator access, its not code requirement, but who wants to be on their belly trying to access the regulator.

Like in hydraulic systems, tape can let go of fragments and possibly flow to areas with small orifices causing flow restrictions, like in a gas valve for a furnace etc.

Ben, I learned a lot from your YouTube channel, very nice that you like to help others, with your informative DIY videos. I know what is like to move and it's no picnic and a lot of stress, my adult son is home sick for the other place yet after 2 years.

The smartest thing you can do is to be debt-free. We don't need big fancy homes to impress someone else. We did the same thing. Bought an old bank repo home that needed a lot of repair. My only complaint is that it is too big. But it's mine and it's paid for.

I would use brush on paint for painting gas pipe. If it was out in the open, spray will work fine, but with pipe mounted under the deck you are likely to miss many spots. Might need 2 coats with brush, but not too hard.

Your videos are so incredibly helpful!

Nice, you mentioned using pliers backwards.

Started doing Plumbing when I was in my twenties for a propane company, used pipe dope mostly at first, whenever we did liquid propane we did tape and dope, towards the end of my career I used tape only, what I found was the dope after years in service would develop little pin leaks from the pressure and the tape would not. I don't think it matters either way, just my opinion, but what do I know I just retired from doing it after 35 years

Do you not need to install a regulator between the grill and the line?

[ab_ab_c]

Keep it simple by stating everything in psi. 1" of water column = 1/27.7 psi, so 12" of water column = 12/27.7 psi = .433 psi after your pressure regulator.

I'm curious to know what was going on at 2:37.... don't think I have ever seen this.
Great Video.

[pauliemoto]

Why did you not use an appliance regulator?

[mikimiki]

What happens if wife happens to be Olympic deadlift champion do you still have to make sure she can’t turn it 🤣
I alway taught natural gas lines inside homes are under crazy amount pressure
Thanks for video 👍🏻

[nickk]

Thank you I didn’t even think. Never used black iron outside always galvanized. Black iron isn’t as strong

That's not a knife… THAT's a knife. 🤣🤣 referencing that pair of channel locks.
