I have a new home with the gas pipe sticking out. Got some advice that I I need to have a plumber do the installation, have you connected it yourself?

Docseed ... It's a very simple hook-up. I did it myself and I am the world's worst plumber. The quik-connect from your grill should connect to your stub-line. You might need an extra adaptor from your hardware store to connect to your stub. You just need to make sure you have no leaks when the job is finished and a little soapy detergent will confirm that for you. If you're not comfortable doing the job yourself, by all means, use a plumber. Good luck!

Better to have it done by a plumber! I did it once several years ago with another grill, but the possibility of a dangerous situation involving natural gas is too great. Don't burn the place down!

Yes, mine is a permanent install. It is far away from the natural gas supply pipes. No, it doesn't have to be. I have other heaters, similar to this one, that are quite close to the gas supply.

Sorry, I did not perform the installation; I had a plumber do it. He did not seem to have any trouble getting it installed. I guess practice make it look easy!

We have no problem. I think that's a question for your plumber or whoever installed it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Not sure what you mean. There are instructions in the box, but if you are not handy, you should hire a plumber.

I have not tried yet. My plumber said it should not be an issue. I will install it soon.

I'm an older woman and managed to do it myself but I'm pretty handy around the house. If you are not, you may want to call a plumber, but take a look at the instructions first. Actually, take a look at the pictures, they're easier to follow.

Id would recommend it, I was lucky and already had a gas line and electrical outlet, all I had to do was cut a three inch hole through my wall for the direct vent to the outside. I didn't need to buy any extra parts.

I no longer have it, but I emailed the seller and he sent me one within a day or two. The biggest headache is the valve. The lower valve makes it very hard to install. We had to remove the sheet rock around the lower valve to get it to fit. Unless you are very skilled, I would have a plumber do the install for sure.

You will need a regulator (I forget the PSI but it's in the installation manual) rigid pipe or code-compliant flex hose and the services of a licensed gas installer.

I did not get a plumber. I know how to sweat pipes, this is what soldering pipes is called. Check on line for a video on how to sweat pipes, that should help.

No, we had a person install it. Not a tough job for a handy person provided it is a replacement and doesn't require new plumbing.

You do need a plumber unless you are comfortable with cutting copper pipe and sweating copper joints to install the waterpipe portion of the unit. The electronic plug-ins are easy to do.

You will have to hire a licensed plumber(?) to run a line from the nearest existing natural gas line. It will not be an inexpensive project.

Yes. On mine we just placed insert into the open area and secured then installed the gas lines. The opening for the gas line was located on the right side of the box on the one I got.

Plumbers are in business to make money . It takes a lot of work to install a gas water heater .It took me a half an hour to install my Rheem .My electric dropped dramatically .Gas prices are rising and not environmentally friendly !!
