Thanks to Airsled, the lineup is in place. Question: Can a gas line be safely extended using 2 of these hookups back to back just for the wash-in?..(don't want to blow up the house!)

I always just used an old garden hose when we tested dryers and ranges, did this for over 20 years.
However I can't recommend this, you can temporally use two flex connectors but it is not code to do so.
We bought a bunch of outdoor gas grill connectors that are around 10 feet long, these have a nice quick-connect coupler that has a shut off valve in it so the gas flow stops when it is disconnected, the only problem with the grill connectors is that they are intended for outdoor use only.

I would need to see your setup behind the machines.....but why not just tap into the existing gas line with a 'T', and add an extra port(s) as needed?
I would have thought of putting the Neptune to the far left, mainly for gas and venting.....but this works too...... or wait until I get there and install a line for you..... |
