Brilio.net - The stove is a very important household appliance in the cooking process. However, the stove will not function properly without gas. To channel gas from the cylinder to the stove, you need to install a regulator and hose. Although it looks easy, many people still have difficulty installing gas to the stove.

If the installation is not correct, the gas can make a hissing sound and a pungent odor. If not immediately addressed, this gas leak is at risk of causing a fire. One cause of gas leaks is that the installed regulator still leaves a gap. As a result, the gas cannot be channeled to the stove optimally.

As a solution, some people tie a rubber band around the gas mouth. However, this method is quite dangerous because the rubber band can expand and break over time, which eventually causes the gas to leak again.

To minimize this from happening, you can try the method shared by YouTube user PANS Hoki. At the beginning of the video, he shows the appearance of his gas leaking when the regulator is installed. After investigating, it turns out that this is because the gas regulator is loose.

Unlike most people who use rubber bands, he only relies on tape to patch his gas regulator. Yes, tap tape is attached to the gas mouth.

"Apply a few rounds. The more rounds, the thicker the patch will be," said the account owner as quoted by BrilioFood, Thursday (26/9).

If it feels thick enough, reinstall the regulator to the gas cylinder. Press it slowly so that the regulator can be installed tightly.

"The result is that there is no more hissing sound from the gas, so the regulator is tight," he said.

That way, you can immediately turn on the stove as usual. No need to worry about another fire, because the gas used is no longer leaking.
