I ordered a new gas range for the wife and home. Installation and delivery guy shows up and pulls out the old range and tells me after spending some time in the spot with his tools that he could not install the new range. He tells me that the previous installer rigged things up and the shut off valve has an adapter designed for a gas dryer glued tightly to it in an odd configuration. He then went on to tell me that someone needs to install a new shut off valve before he can continue. He said it is against code now to use the type of line used for gas dryers for new gas range installations. Does that sound right?
It's very disappointing since bad weather is likely moving into the area and this range was supposed to be in place for holiday cooking. It was also supposed to be a nice surprise for when my wife returned home. Anyway...it seems there is always some place that installers cut corners when initially putting everything for the house together.
