How to Connect Steel Gas Pipes | This Old House

The method to connect steel gas pipes is changing. Pipes used to be cut with a tool that required several steps to make a threaded connection to a fitting. Richard Trethewey goes over the steps with the two plumbing apprentices. Then he shows them the new quicker method, using a fitting with a gasket to seal right into the proper place on the pipe. Using a clamping tool, he can compress the fitting to the pipe for an easy, safe connection. #ThisOldHouse #AskTOH SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse About This Old House TV: This Old House is the No. 1 multimedia home enthusiast brand, offering trusted information and expert advice through award-winning television, a highly regarded magazine, and an information-driven website.
