I will be using a silicone sealant for my stove fitting.?

Question

it won't be subject to heat . its just that the gas passages are sealed by that sealant. is it safe to use it? thanks !!

Answer 1

I would call your local gas supplier and ask this question.   I would personally ask a professional as to the hazardous nature of this work.  Good luck!

Answer 2

There is a special sealant for gas connections. It looks like a yellow pipe dope. I don't think it's silicone base. It's sold at Home Depot and Lowe's. I thing I would use that instead.

Answer 3

Go to the plumbing section and get the yellow Teflon tape for gas pipe.....Cost is less than a dollar.....

Answer 4

Better to use the right  pipe compound or teflon tape ( yellow for gas) on the fittings.

Either is inexpensive & the compounds & tape  are marked "for gas fittings"
