Are these properly installed? For a whole week I have had a stove that improperly combustion gas and inhaled those fumes. Middle two should be the stove and dryer. Townhomes type of building.

What do you mean by “improperly combustion gas”? These are just the gas lines feeding into your townhome.

I would venture that they are not labeled correctly, as the line on the far left is a higher pressure feed that goes into the horizontal regulator, and feeds the right three gas lines that are on lower pressure, to your appliances. The main gas shutoff should be on the far left, as that appears to be the supply line, and the right three are on a manifold to feed gas to three different areas of the home.

This is your answer OP. The tags APPEAR
to be switched. Impossible to be 100% sure
By this picture though.

[u/yeah_sure_youbetcha → u/Treetopflyer1128]

Not necessarily.

2 psi gas comes in to this manifold as marked. 2 psi is distributed to the other appliances with their own regulators at the appliances, but we see the furnace regulator at the manifold because it's nearby and/or in a tight space where it made sense to just have it on the wall here.

Not how I would have done it, but different strokes for different folks.

[u/Treetopflyer1128 → u/yeah_sure_youbetcha]

Ya I get it. Hence why I said it’s impossible to be sure. Of all the CSST / maxitrol regulator manifolds I’ve tested and inspected I’ve see very few where the furnace or another appliance is branched off before the manifold. It would typically happen for a second story furnace or an appliance that’s so far away it would require an upsize of the line at 7”wc. It’s all about saving a buck these days.

[u/secretwheelman → u/yeah_sure_youbetcha]

If that were true, the line pressure regulator is installed backwards and the furnace wouldn’t work.

It’s more likely the tag on the left and tag in the right are swapped. 2psi supply is far left.

[u/yeah_sure_youbetcha → u/secretwheelman]

You're right! I missed that (in my defense I've been out of the residential world for a few years now)

The gas stove appliance wasn't burning all the natural gas when in use. Example on a simmer the flame was on low and it smelled excessively or baking normally would take longer food would still be undercooked.

Every technicians that came in didn't really know how to shut off the gas properly. They managed to turn off the gas stove line behind the stove to swap it. They were quick to leave after they did testing on the furnace. I had to buy a natural gas detector for my upstairs because there use to be one that they had to replaced but ended up with a regular carbon monoxide detectors. Also the ones they replaced were set off when i left the house but they were set to hush mode only notice it flashing so I would reset it and open windows .

What country are you in?

[u/walnutbear- → u/skitek]

US

[u/skitek → u/walnutbear-]

I’ve no idea in that case, sorry. Have you a carbon monoxide alarm in the room you cook in? If you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning don’t use the appliance and call an engineer

[u/walnutbear- → u/skitek]

Long story short our stove was throwing excessive gas. Had 3 different technicians tell me that everything is fine. The appliance got swapped out and things are working out fine. My concern now is winter is coming and I'm going to have use the furnace. Making sure everything is good with then main lines in our basement.

[u/Gweedo1967 → u/walnutbear-]

The furnace will exhaust to the outside.

[u/Maplelongjohn → u/walnutbear-]

Sounds like the cook stove was never properly adjusted

The furnace and water heater should work fine off that gas tree

Whoever built that gas tree should be reprimanded. it looks like poo and is poorly labeled. The other 2 appliances should have shutoffs there as well. No one is pulling the drier out to shut off the gas in an emergency.

That said It should work just fine.

When we work on systems that most people don't understand it's important to make sure our work is tidy and neat. This gives the impression that we know what we're doing.

Yes they’re installed correctly

[u/Apprehensive_Elk7341]

Posting a picture of what the stove is actually doing might be better. It could have been a propane stove

[u/Apprehensive-Unit390]

“Stove that improperly combustion gas” - do you mean that the natural gas didn’t light on your stove and it smelt like that rotten egg smell?
I have a feeling you have an issue with the part of the stove called the igniter on your burners

[u/Virtual_Win4076]

The main gas shut off is on the left for starters.

Other than sloppy workmanship the set up looks ok.

As far as the stove goes, are you painting or varnishing in the house? The fumes could be byproducts

[u/Kmac0505]

That thing is labelled wrong. Main incoming gas is on the left upstream of the regulator. Or it better be anyways or else your furnace is getting 2PSI gas.

[u/Slatty317]

Tags look like they need flip flopped that first line to the left before the regulator should be the main line everything after the regulator should go to your appliances

[u/imbartsimpsonwhothru]

furnace concerns are justified

you can get seriously dead from C-O poisoning

[u/No-Group7343]

That is some hill billy shit right there No way that was done professionally

[u/going-for-gusto → u/No-Group7343]

But my bruncle said it was good.

[u/Felix99990]

Tracpipe should be protected up to the brass nuts with yellow tape etc, you should not be able to see the pliable stainless steel.

And the poster above is correct, the lines seem to be incorrectly labeled. Far left incoming supply the 3 on the right of the regulator go to appliances.

[u/Resqguy911]

CSST should be banned

[u/CressAdventurous5585]

Somebody REALLY didn’t know what they were doing when they set this up
