flex appliance gas line
Author: gmum (IL) I had to pull out my oven to make a repair. I complete my repair and then push it back in. Realize I left something behind stove... have to pull it out again. Got me to thinking, how durable are those flexible supply lines? Should I be concerned I caused a leak? I know they say not to reuse them but what the consensus on "moving" the appliance?
