I recently bought a hooka shisha pipe and moved into a new flat. The flat has no gas heating or gas in general and so it would seem unlikely for my carbon monoxide detector to go off. However, after burning the coals for my hooka pipe it seemed to sense carbon monoxide. Is this possible from burning coal?
the process is to 1st turn off the gas.. You'd need get a black tee and two unions and two black pipe nipples. measure the tee, nipples and unions account for the threading.. Cut the pipe accordingly. Thread the ends that you cut attach one end of the disassembled unions to the ends of the threaded pipe, attach the nipples to the tee and the other pieces of the union. applying liberal amounts of pipe dope. Use the stuff in a bottle with a brush. DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE FOR GAS. Assemble the tees. Put a nipple in the tee toward the dryer, and put a gas valve and another nipple to attach the supply line to the dryer. close the dryer supply valve, turn on the gas and check for leaks with soap solution. If no leaks, your good to go, if not, fix the leak with dope. NOTICE!! Hold harmless advice.. Best if you've not done and don't have the thread tools to have a pro do it. Cost of you doing it, about $20, Cost of having a pro do it about $100, peace of mind to have a pro do it OR the knowledge you can do it yourself - PRICELESS.

There is a black pipe in the attic that provides gas to the furnace and hot water heater. I want to tap into that pipe and then run some of that flexible yellow metal gas tubing to my dryer. How can I tap
if the alarm goes off and staff is assisting with an evacuation, you should leave immediately. there were two hotel fires two weekends in a row in Cincinnati recently. these can be serious! If it's easy, grab a robe, your shoes, whatever is on your way out the door, but take it seriously!

Seriously, I really wouldn't be getting advice like this from Y!, but what the hell..if you blow yourself up, don't come crying to methis should be done by a professional. Turn off the gas at the source!!!!!!! Turn on your gas stove or dryer to burn-off the gas that is sitting in the pipes. You will have to make two trips to the local hardware store. The first will be to get a T fitting to tap into the existing pipe and all the pipe and fittings to get to the garage from the location of the T tap. Go into the attic and place the T fitting where you want it on the existing pipe and make two marks for the section of pipe you are cutting out (where the threads end on the INSIDE of the T fitting. You will come-up short if you mark the cut lines at the ends of the T fitting. Take a pipe wrench and loosen the existing pipe. This will also let any extra gas out of the pipes, so make sure there is proper ventilation. Tak the pipe to the garage and cut the pipe on your marks. Take the two pieces to the hardware store and have the cut ends of the pipe threaded by the hardware store guy. Go back home and correctly (with pipe putty for gas lines) connect your T fitting between the two newly threaded pipe ends. Replace this segment where you took it out in the attic. From the remaining opening of the T fitting, connect the drop into the garage and there you go. Turn on the gas and make sure to rub a solvent of soapy water over each joint to make sure it doesn't bubble. If it does, that means there's a gas leak. Take the joint apart, clean the joint and re-putty the joint and all other joints that bubble. BE CAREFUL
