On gas lines you arent allowed to use teflon. That is for water connections only.Same here. Last summer I installed a new gas wall furnace in a building on our property. Running gas line and installing a gas appliance is sort of like handing firearms. You operate under the assumption that every connection you make leaks. Checking every single connection, every single time. I also prefer pipe dope to teflon also.
You can on my new wolf stove. But no one smokes in my house, or will in my house for that fact.Monoxide poisoning is almost unheard of anymore. They have to be using stuff so old that it's a miracle it even worked to begin with.
And even an electric radiator too close to combustible materials catch fire.
Most gas appliances have no open flame in living areas. And there's sensors that shut down the system if there's any gas buildup. So you can't get the explosion the OP is talking about.
It's getting to the point you can't light a cigarette off a gas stove anymore.
Do you drive a gas car? Or use a gas powered lawnmower?i think both gas and propane are dangerous to use.
Well...it was just a statement of fact. Not that I encourage doing so.You can on my new wolf stove. But no one smokes in my house, or will in my house for that fact.
Gas powered lawnmowers and etc have been made illegal in some places.Do you drive a gas car? Or use a gas powered lawnmower?
could you post links to some of those many homes you saw explode??I think people should get an electric stove when looking for a home. Gas stoves are too dangerous because I have seen too many homes explode because of a gas line leak in the national news. The victims of a gas line explosion have severe burns and it is extremely painful.
this is from the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)Why would i do that?
You're just some anonymous person on the internet. I'd be a fool to take your word for anything.
That you can't prove your own assertions is even more reason not to take your word.
And those new laws concerning small engines are going to be problematic when the power goes out...Do you drive a gas car? Or use a gas powered lawnmower?
Its even fewer than I thought. Out of the 170 million single family homes in the US that's not even a significant number.this is from the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
How common are natural gas explosions?
Across the U.S. there are about 286 serious natural gas explosions per year—the type that cause over $50,000 worth of damage, severe injury, or loss of life. Between 1998 and 2017, 15 people per year on average died in incidents related to gas distribution in the U.S.......it also said much of this was from old worn lines to old structures or faulty home appliances.....the newer houses and buildings and those being built should be pretty safe.......
With a 5 burner gas convection oven and I cook alot. I filled my 60# tank once a year, 30 gallons give or take a couple.How often do you end up buying new gas?
and like they said.....many of these were from old lines in older structures....Its even fewer than I thought. Out of the 170 million single family homes in the US that's not even a significant number.
I've heard too many horror stories about the induction stoves...those things make me nervous. Just saying.With a 5 burner gas convection oven and I cook alot. I filled my 60# tank once a year, 30 gallons give or take a couple.
New home has an induction electric and I'm very happy with it. Heat is more like cooking with gas, which I always preferred.
This is for the pressurized tank connections like those for welding gases and etc...On gas lines you arent allowed to use teflon. That is for water connections only.
Another common mistake people make is applying Teflon tape to the connection to get to the seal. Actually the tape will cause a leak and typically not prevent a leak. When tape is applied to the CGA nut, it prevents the nose of the bullet-nose CGA to fully contact the mating surface inside the cylinder valve.

Recently bought an inverter generator for our camper.And those new laws concerning small engines are going to be problematic when the power goes out...
Gas powered chainsaws are essential during ice storms. Just saying...
The yellow Teflon is for gas, the white or pink (better) is for water.On gas lines you arent allowed to use teflon. That is for water connections only.

Yet - annually electrical fires cause $1.4bn in property damage and kill over 550 people every year.this is from the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)

I got 6,339 killed in the workplace alone by electrocution. That doesn't count the thousands who kill themselves at home by electrocution...which is much more common than workplace electrocution. The link is just for the year 2020.Yet - annually electrical fires cause $1.4bn in property damage and kill over 550 people every year.
I know right? You would think that I was making a joke with the small engine thing.Recently bought an inverter generator for our camper.
When I was comparing them online, I think they all stated not available in CA.
WTF?
