A place for Plumbers and those interested in Plumbing to ask questions and discuss the trade.

Community guidelines:

If you have a plumbing question please include a picture in your post.

If you have a question such as "does this look correct?" please include the code your area adheres to. If you're not sure please include state/province/country you're in. Codes can vary state to state and what's wrong in one area may be perfectly acceptable in another.

Just as codes vary, prices do too. That's why we won't discuss any pricing because there's so many factors that can't or shouldn't be conveyed to strangers over the internet.

Here's what my gas line looked like when I moved in, tromboning all over the place, with an illegal saddle valve, and a load bearing coffee can (imgur.com)

And here's after I replaced most of it, only thing I didn't replace was from the coupling back to the meter

Wow... I've never seen a saddle valve on a gas line. While I think people make a bigger deal about them than warranted when it comes to water lines I would NEVER use one for gas.

Nice work on the replacement. It looks very clean.
