#*You can also use pipe sealing tape if you have it. Wrap the tape around the threading 2-3 times to form the seal.

#Attach a regulator to the stove if it doesn’t already have one. A regulator is a box-shaped piece of pipe that controls the pressure of the gas entering your stove. While most stoves come with a regulator built in, you may have to attach one to some models. Buy a regulator that matches the brand and output of your stove and screw it onto the pipe threading you applied the sealer to. Spin the nut on the regulator clockwise until it’s hand-tight, and then use a wrench to tighten it as far as you can.<ref>https://ift.tt/2JpxYuC>

#Seal the threading on the regulator with the pipe sealer. Dip the brush back into the gas pipe sealer and rub it around the threading on the end of the regulator. Make sure you make a complete seal or else the gas could leak out from your pipes. Work within 5 minutes after you apply the sealer so it doesn’t dry before you attach it.<ref>https://ift.tt/2JpxYuC>

#Spray the soapy water onto the gas line connections to your stove. Hold the spray bottle as close to the connections you sealed and spray some of the soapy water onto them. Make sure you apply the soapy water all the way around the pipe so it’s completely wet. If there’s a gas leak, the soapy water will start to bubble around the connections so you know that there’s a small leak. Check each of the connections you made and mark any of them that are leaking.<ref>https://youtu.be/c3FZNKNrd44?t=36</ref>

#Tighten any loose connections before testing for leaks again. Hold the nut on the main gas pipe in place with your channel lock pliers and then use a wrench to tighten the flexible line. Screw it on until you can’t get it any tighter. Repeat the process for any other connections that were bubbling after you applied the soapy water. When you’re finished, spray more soapy water onto the connection to check it again.<ref>https://youtu.be/c3FZNKNrd44?t=59</ref>
