Natural gas appliances can be dangerous if they are operating improperly. Knowing the condition of your natural gas appliance connections can help you continue to enjoy the safe, efficient use of natural gas.
Natural gas travels from supply pipes in your home to your appliances via flexible, corrugated metal tubes. Because they're usually out of sight, you might not think about them.
It's important to have your connections checked to make sure that older, uncoated brass connections are replaced with new stainless steel or plastic-coated brass connectors. You likely won't be able to see your connectors, so call a qualified professional to remove the old tubing and install a new connector.
For your safety, please don't move any appliances. Movement can cause the connector to break, resulting in serious damage. If you can't see your connectors without moving appliances, get a qualified professional to inspect them.
Highly trained Peoples Gas technicians can inspect flexible connectors for unsafe conditions and make repairs immediately. There is a moderate fee for this service.
