Hi there
I am about to replace/reroute the gas lines inside my house. I've also successfully done the copper, the pvc, am getting inspections, etc...
For the gas, I plan on using 1", 3/4", and 1/2" black pipe from the big box and ideally don't have to cut and thread anything. I tend towards overthinking, asking questions, over-planning, and then going slowly, and things generally come out okay.
Here is my current over-thought...
Let's say I am installing a tee - after completing the tightening, of course I need the side outlet oriented in a specific direction. Is there that much play between tight enough and too tight that I can rotate the tee almost a complete turn after it is "tight enough" so that the outlet ends up in the right direction? How does one deal with this?
Thanks
Bob
