Introduction
Gas lines can be installed in a variety of ways. Here are several steps to get you started on how to install gas line for stove:
Turn off the gas.
Turn off the gas.
Turn off the gas at the meter by turning it counterclockwise until it clicks into place. Then, turn off at an outlet cabinet or wall socket that’s near your stove and set aside for later use (this is called “turning off” a piece of equipment).
Turn off all other sources of ignition in your home as well: furnace, fireplace/stovetop burners and pilot lights for outdoor heaters like heat lamps or propane barbecues; light switches (including those on kitchen counters), electric motors used for refrigerators and dishwashers; smoke detectors—you get the idea.
Remove the gas handle from the pilot light.
Remove the gas handle from the pilot light.
Turn off the gas and remove it from your stove’s tank. Then, unscrew or remove (if applicable) the gas handle that connects to your stove’s tank.
Unclip the hose from the appliance and break it off at the connection to make it easier to remove later.
To disconnect the gas line for stove, use a screwdriver or knife blade to remove the clamp at the connection. If you don’t have a screwdriver or knife blade, use a pair of pliers to break off the hose’s clamps so they can be easily removed later. If you don’t have any tools on hand that can work as substitutes for these devices (and even if you do), go ahead and use your hands! That’ll do just fine—and it will save time in other ways by eliminating having to take off parts that may be damaged already.
Unscrew two 10-32 x 2-1/2″ countersunk screws on each rear corner of the cabinet and lift up on the front edge, which holds a cylinder within the unit.
- Lift up on the front edge of the stove.
- Lift up on the front edge of the cabinet.
- Liftoff from cylinder, which holds a vinyl or plastic cover over its openings for easy access to burners and knobs.
If a pipe is leaking, you can see where it leaks by lifting up on the front edge of your stove with a screwdriver or knife blade.

If you don’t see where the leak is coming from, look at its back side. You should be able to see if there are any cracks or gaps in the metal that could allow gas to escape from inside of your stove. If so, remove this section from your gas line stove and replace it with new parts that have been properly installed by an authorized professional (like us).
Conclusion
When your stove is gas-fired and has an attached gas line, it’s always a good idea to check the connection for leaks. If there is a leak, you’ll need to replace the pipe that connects your stove to the main line. But if you do find a leak, don’t worry—with this simple fix, you can make sure that you have enough gas on hand when cooking time comes around again!
