Gas pipe expert advice. Pics included

[Milind Shastri]

Hi all,

I am looking for some advice on a gas plumbing job so I can talk sensibly before giving the job it to a professional. The pipeline between female ends labeled A and B needs to be replaced. 

The inner thread diameter of the end A is greater than end B. Can someone with experience of the plumbing city code in Dallas TX comment on what/how this can be done. 

My proposed solution is to remove the cut of portions and replace them with the following configuration:

Tee_fitting_end_B | narrow_nipple | narrow_to_wide_reducer | wide_nipple | wide_union | wide_nipple | elbow_A_end

Will this work?

Cheers!

Milind,

Yes, your solution will work and is the right way to do the repair, just make sure you seal all the threads real good and test the joints with spray to make sure no gas is leaking out of them. you may want to test as many of the old joints that you can as well, just to make sure no gas is leaking out of them.
