How to Run a Gas Pipe to a New Gas Oven

If you are installing a new gas oven in your kitchen, you must use a gas appliance connector or gas pipe to connect the gas supply to the oven. It's important to know where the gas supply shut-off valve is located in your home; and if you don't have a valve installed, you should contact a professional to install a gas line into your kitchen. The parts for installing the gas pipe can be purchased from any home improvement store.
