How to get glue off a Natural Gas kitchen pipe?
« on: February 06, 2017, 12:56:32 PM »
I just replaced an electric stove with one that's both electric and gas.

When removing the original 12 year old stove, I discover ed tue gas hose behind the stove had been sealed. Trying to twist it off with a pipe wrench was to no avail.

Plumber said they would take it off for $65.

1) given its gas, and I'm not a professsional, should I have the plumber do this?

2) if not, anyone have any experience doing this and is it easy / safe?

I'm looking at YouTube as well. Don't want to waste $65.

If you have a sealed gas line that poses no danger and it is behind the stove, why don't you just leave it and pay nothing?

If you need that gas line to connect to your new stove, spend the money and have it done (some jurisdictions require a plumber to make gas connections).

Also, gas connectors to the 5 gal LP tanks are reverse threaded.  Have you tried that?
