If you don’t know, call someone who does.
That is a gas connection. Screw the flex hose on there and put soapy water on the junction to check for leaks before you open the valve.
That’s a square tip plug. It could be a gas line, but ur not getting the drier hooked up to that thing.
check for leaks before you open the valve
Put the soap on first, then open valve. Are you having a reading comprehension problem or being pedantic?
Did you read what you wrote or you trying to be an asshole? You literally wrote, check for leaks BEFORE you open the valve.
Where does the pipe go?
This is the only response. If you truly can’t tell where tf it’s coming from, then start sniff testing and fuckin around with buckets.
Does traction work on lemmy same as reddit? Doots and comments make go up?
I did not know gas powered dryers existed. Is that just super old or something?
They work well and just make a lot of sense. However, I think they tend to be more expensive than electric clothes dryers.
Negative. I bought a new gas dryer ~8 years ago and did plenty of research at the time. Electric dryers are FAR more likely to cause a fire.
They are super common here in the midwest. I don’t know anyone with an electric drier.
Yes, midwest USA. We all have gas pipes into the house for heating. So it became the default for stoves, hot water heating and clothes dryers.
I’ve committed to not buying new gas appliances when the old stuff breaks. I switched to a heat pump water heater last year. I really want to get rid of my gas stove next.
Gas has a distinctive small. Open it and see. Obviously if you do smell gas, ventilate the room and wait for it to clear.
Yeah it’s not dangerous to just open it for a second to smell. The handle looks to be blue though, so i’d wager it’s more probable to be water and keep a bucket under it.
Never trust colors with piping or wiring, always assume it’s wrong and do proper tests.
I had some people install a new water heater at my place. They turned off what was labeled as the water heater at the breaker and proceeded to change out the heater.
I noticed later that it seemed odd that the AC hadn’t cycled on all day. Eventually realized the circuit breaker was mislabeled.
The guys doing the water heater replacement were working on a live line and I guess they didn’t bother to check with a multimeter. Jesus. They didn’t get hurt/killed thankfully.
