@ai6yr You're so fortunate you know how to spot what's wrong. So many folks, even if they didn't trust the constractors to do safe work, wouldn't necessarily know how to spot the bad stuff all the time.
@ai6yr that seems to be the new standard. i see teflon tape or sealant on all sorts of compression fittings, including fast-n-tite, swagelok, vcr sometimes without even the required gasket...
the builder used the sealant very liberally on the water and drain fittings in my apartment and they leak and come apart a bit too frequently. they aren't being replaced and cleaning the gunk off doesn't really work, unlike the tape. fortunately there is no gas at all in the building.
@ai6yr And even if the fitting looks good, (and passed inspection by the gas co) some of the old valves have seals that can go bad, and then you smell something, and the gas co comes back and says, yup, you have a leak.

@darwinwoodka@knowattitude For sure. Anyway, hopefully will get that off the list once we get everything moved back in. The spouse just wants to get back in the house before we go and swap that out, plus that will also entail new cookware.
@LabSpokane This was the contractor the insurance company specified for the rebuild. We are done though, but... wouldn't trust these folks for anything important aside from paint, LOL.
