Gas pipe location behind stove

range

gas pipe

I would have them cut out the subfloor, that's probably going to have to be done anyway... and lose the SS gas flex, get the good yellow kind (I forget what it's called).

I hope the gas is off with that CSST bent like that. It looks like the pipe need to be shifted and lowered due to the range.
Unfortunately, every range is different.

If someone refers to herself / himself as a "guru", they probably aren't.

its not actually bent. The picture is hiding the pipe heading towards the wall on the way down.

It looks like the gas tubing going to the broiler is hitting the riser and that's why you can't push the stove all the way back.

You're going to have to open the ceiling below to change/shorten that 3/4" pipe. I would also move it to the left about 6-10 inches. Or else just come straight up through the floor where it is with a shorter nipple and a 90 and then have your shutoff valve pointing to the left.

There is nothing wrong with using an uncoated stainless flex.

Wow thats the longest stove riser I`ve ever seen.. yer plumber must have had one last piece of pipe left and didnt want to cut/thread it (and was lazy as chuk)

Yea this riser needs to be relocated to mesh with the stove.. If it was just shorter, it could damage the oven feeder line.. Cutting open the subfloor would probably be the best option, but I bet there is a joist right in the way of moving that line to the left.

That uncoated SS line isnt an issue, the yellow lines are SS as well, they just have a yellow anticorrosion coating.

It looks like you could just push the stove back toward the wall. Are you saying that a part of the stove hits the top part of the pipe when you shove the stove toward the wall?

If it is close to clearing, how about just adding a black 90 degree street ell to the top of the riser to make the flex pipe come off at 90 degrees? Use pipe dope and yellow teflon tape.

I don't like Teflon tape on gas piping, it can easily allow over-tightening which can lead to a fitting (ell, coupling, etc) to crack and then leak. Plus if improperly used it shreds and those little pieces can get carried downstream inside the pipe and end up lodged inside a gas control valve.

A lot of cast plumbing fittings are made "overseas" and are cheap junk sometimes of questionable quality anyway.
