All Plumbing will install any gas line for any
project including black pipe, scotch wrapped and
coated stainless steel flex lines.
If you just purchased a new stove, oven range or
dryer we will install it for you. We will make
sure that the job is done right the first time.
Do you remember when the material was first
introduced. Many of my fellow contractors who
install gas lines thought it was unsafe. Their
arguments never made sense to me. For as long as
I have been in the home building business, we
always used similar brass appliance connector
tubing when gas was supplied to a clothes dryer,
a cooktop, or a gas range. Hundreds of thousands
of houses have these corrugated appliance
connectors in service right now. They have
worked swell for many years.
The
CSST has many advantages. Perhaps the biggest
one is labor savings. Traditional black iron
pipe takes a lot of time to cut and thread. I
know as I have installed thousands of linear
feet of the heavy material. As you said, the new
CSST is installed like electrical wire. You
simply pull the material between two points and
cut it to length with simple tubing cutters.
Black iron pipe is the exact opposite. A typical
black iron pipe installation requires a
professional to precisely measure, cut, and
thread the individual pieces of pipe. All of
these steps are very time consuming.
Floor Drains
To clean out a floor drain, remove the strainer or grating which covers the drain box. The dirt and grease can then be dug out with a spoon or a stick. After a hooked wire or coil spring-steel auger will clean out the bend or trap. Check to find out whether a removable clean-out plug has been provided to make this job easier. When the clogging material has been removed from the trap, pour a pail or two of hot water into the drain to wash out any loose material. Check the strainer itself and clean it in hot water and soap in order to open all holes. The floor drain should be checked regularly, especially one that is not often used, since water in the trap may evaporate. This would allow sewer gases to enter the room. Pour a pail of water into the drain periodically in order to make certain of a proper water seal.
