question of the day

Q. I just purchased a new commercial gas stove for my home. I do have an old gas stove working now. Are there any special do's and don'ts on installing the new one or should I have a professional install it for me?
Read Answer
A. Basic installation should not be different than how the existing stove is installed and connected. What is important is to replace the existing gas connection flex line and valve with the new parts used these days. Next, use the 7/8-flex connector with a matching shut off valve on the natural gas supply pipe. New parts and old existing parts used for stoves and ranges connecting to natural gas supply pipes do not interchange with each other. The best place to obtain the new parts, made from new metal materials approved for natural gas, is at the local privately owned hardware stores in your area. Depending upon your state and area, minor codes might apply slightly differently for local installations.

tips and tricks

Checking Your Doorbell

Remove the doorbell button cover and clean the contacts with an emery board (nail file) and lift up the contacts. If this does not work, remove the button, disconnect the wires and touch the ends together. If the bell sounds, get a new button. If the bell does not sound or is faint, there may be a problem in the bell unit or transformer.
