Hooking up a gas appliance is actually easy to do. Buy a roll of gas specific joint tape. Usually pink or yellow where water pipe tape is always white. Wrap the treads with the tape and make the connections. Tighten with a wrench to about 45 foot pounds. Lift a 50 pound bag of something and use that same effort on a 8 inch wrench. Turn on the gas valve and take some very soapy water and brush on the connection and look for bubbles. Check all connections with the soapy water for leaks. If none, wipe dry and fire it up.
