This hex nut shaped thing was on the end of this quarter inch propane adapter. Inside of it was the strange double cone thing.
I didn’t know there was anything inside of it when I picked it up so the little brass double cone thing fell out. The sides are not the same size and I have no idea which way it’s supposed to point but it feels like it’s probably important to not get it wrong.
[edit: a friend told me what it was. details in 🧵]
Also, now that I think about it, it probably Hass to go between the flared pipe that will pass through the nut and the thing this nut screws onto, which is weird. I definitely did not have to muck with one of these. In the last two propane, furnaces I installed.
And, the instructions aren’t even remotely useful. They don’t even mention that you need to connect the wiring. #Plumbing#Propane
Update: it appears to be 0.098 of an inch on one side and 0.0955 of an inch on the other side. So I think it is supposed to be considered the same size.
Sorry two people reading this who use sane measurement systems. The only gauge at hand was imperial.
