It is easiest if the gas line and the electrical outlet are already set up in your home. At that point, it is easy to set up the appliance.

When hooking up a new or used gas appliance it is required that you use a new gas line. I always try to use a flexible line and make sure it is extra long so the appliance can be moved in and out. Shut the gas off at the valve and remove old gas line and replace with a new one. They do have different sizes, so you can take the old one to your nearest Home Depot type store to ensure the correct size. They also have the needed fittings to do most jobs,always use thread compound on the joints and check for gas leaks when done with soapy water..Good Luck.

Consult with a legally licensed gas fitter/plumber. If you do it and something goes awry you will not be covered by your home insurance and you really don't want it to happen now do you. Best it be legal and done rite...

How to hook up natural gas logs in fireplace?

As much as I enjoy "Do it yourself" projects, this is probably not one well suited to that. It will be necessary to run gas lines, and possibly make changes to the draft system on the fireplace. This should be be left to a professional from a gas utility service company, who knows the building codes you must comply with when installing a gas appliance.

If your grill was a propane grill then the short quick answer is no. The reason: the gas pressure between Natural gas and Propane is different. There are adapters available for things like fire places but I am not sure if there are adapters for propane gas grills.

Can you hook a grill propane tank to your house stove?

As long as your house stove is not running off of natural gas (a pipeline routed through your neighborhood with a big meter on the side of your house = natural gas). If your house has a big huge gas tank on the side of it, it is propane, and that is what those bottled gas things are that you buy at the gas station. Disconnect the gas line at the huge tank outside your house, and connect the small tank you got at the gas station directly to the line right there. I have done it myself before, and I am also a plumber with experience in working and installing gas lines. Joeman

Is it legal to hook up your natural gas appliance at home without a licensed gas fitter?

laws differ in different places call you local building code office. gas appliances can be dangerous if not installed properly or if the unit is faulty(even brand new units may be faulty) Your life and the lives of you family are far more valuble that the cost of a gas fitter. the gas fitter will run tests, such as pressure test, on his installation and the unit. only a gas fitter will know ALL the codes. even if it is legal to do without a gas fitter , it is still stupid.
