As a gas distribution mechanic for a utility company you knocked it out of the park on this post meter install. Wish their was more guys like you and your team that took pride in your work like this
This is a great video. I made one exposing a house flipper,code enforcement and building inspectors trying to cover up a Hazard. It’s the video with 7000 views I’m sure you’ll enjoy it and use it as a tool to show how not to 🙏🙏🤝
Hey wondering if you would know 😅, will the gas company replace old gas line that is only buried about 6 inches at the most. That goes from street to my meter? I get the rest is on my but it's the distribution line to my meter and is very shallow
The difference between a good tradesman and a great one is how well they can do repair work. That's easily the nicest concrete trench and repair job I've ever seen. Top work dudes!
TY
Also there is a tool called accu punch this will prevent from open trenching.
I conquer
So true. Some people just butcher a job. Some plumbers don't even do the finish work.
Another compliment. Having the additional knowledge of pipe fitting and gas code is a plus for your company. That is one less subcontractor you need to hire. I really like your ethic in doing any task called for by your contract. You probably have your lead and second hand well trained for those times you might not be able to be on the job site. God bless you and your company in the future.
TY
I'm working at the training part probably another two years
You definitely go above and beyond for your clients David! great plumbing work!
TY
One of the most fantastic and professional jobs I've seen here in the entire RUclips.
That was *great!*
ty
When you say “complete”, you mean complete!Very professional.
Yes that's the idea
TY
Master of all trades, nice work as usual. Dave I decided to tackle the deck drain in front of my garage in Santa Ana. If i get enough courage I may send you a picture of my finished rookie job, thanks again for your advice,..

Wish you all worked here in Fresno, CA - - you're amazing, thorough and professionals all the way. Great job.
TY
Kayinfso Here really they have shitty plumbers in Fresno
Kayinfso Here Herdez Pipeline construction LLC does this work. Give me a call at (559) 930-8238. I just moved my company into fresno and the valley. We focus on residential, commercial buildings, and AG. Or if you know anyone who may need of my work pass them my info please. Thanks and blessings!
man I appreciate your attention to detail. Very well done!
TY
Nice to see a crew that cares how to take care of business . And a job done really well . My all your projects go that smoothly !
no but I would say 99%
I've done Gas for about the last 4 years now and this is by far the best video on putting in a gas line underground on RUclips. Only thing I would of done different is put some sort of sleeve around the straight transition Risers to keep it from direct contact with the concrete because eventually the riser will rust right at the concrete line. Still a great job though!
I didn't mention it in the video but I did wrap the riser with foam, so that it wouldn't be in contact with the concrete.
The riser is also coated in epoxy.
The foam allows the pipe to move independently from the concrete, incase of an earth quake.
TY
Odell Complete Concrete oh wow that's really creative! I don't have to worry about those in AZ haha great video!
TRue
I was watching to find this out and see the reply to your comment is foam around the pipe, so the wet concrete does not touch the pipe.
Maybe Odell Complete Concrete can add this to the commentary.
Wish i had concrete specialists like you in my country. Kneet and nice job!
If they follow my videos, you will.
Paul Powerson LOL what country do you live in? This is basic I do this 5-6 days a week for the biggest construction company in Massachusetts, USA

Odell Complete Concrete LOL of course
Excellent video nice clear explanations. Thank you and keep up the good work!
TY
I have always regretted hiring a craftsman who has never done a specific job before. This guy may be an acceptation.
TY
That was a Professional job fellas👍
ty
Complete and done. Never seen rock salt in concrete. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
YW
Not bad, I work as a pipe fitter for the gas utility in Southern California. You did better than most peoples work I see. Some discrepancies but nothing serious. Good work.
TY
I'm amazed that nobody's said anything about the video at 12:23 /Minutes/Seconds....
That he never needed to Use the SawZall to cut...,..
He had a Union Before the Cut and Saved a Hassle....,
BTW Big time fan of your Concrete works. love my glass beaded Concrete @Edges I've decided Due to Winters/Slippery Problems lol.
But I've figured to do it in the California Finish at Edges..... it turned out Cool.
😂 Looks like a little Runway for Airplane's to land at night with Solar LED Lights sling the way.,.......
yeah yours smile says you just envisioned this 😆
Thank you, Takes MAD Time to do Videos for us.
Much Appreciated 👍
Sounds like a nice design.
TY
Only person doing plumbing i ever seen not showing crack
I hear that
Some reason it feels like it was a concrete job you did a long time ago. I imagine with all the jobs you do you can't remember all of them. But the quality work of the concrete and drains is classic Odell.
No I never worked there before but they all look similar in the track homes I typically work on
Some seriously precise work here. Really impressive.
TY
Very well thought out on every step of this job Dave
TY
You're very professional man. Job well done. And you have a good radio voice too!!
Wow, thanks!
Great video,
I remember back in the day when you hired your next door neighbor to do job he had no idea what to do and you paid him with a 12 pack of the cheapest beer.
At least everyone was happy at the end
I enjoy your videos very much. They are well done just like your work. Thanks
TY
Jack of all trades.
Plumber too?
Nice.
Great vid!
TY
Competence par excellence. Nice work.
TY
Sir I like the way you done.
Ty
What a nice job guys so nice and clean👍🇺🇸🇨🇦
TY
Great work as usual. It was cool to see how it all came back together.

TY
This dude the real deal
TY
Good job!
On your next concrete project, change out the 200 amp elect. service, install the kitchen cabinets and nail on the shingle roof....a man that is a Master of All!
....13
Sounds like fun, it can be done.
You are a pro love your videos
TY
Great video. Keep them coming. I know a lot of time goes into making these videos.
Greg Orris
I will.
TY
I am addicted to your channel darn it.
It happens
TY
great job
ty
I got in trouble for using the tape to bond the wire to the pipe. Had to pull 120' of poly back out and zip tie it to the pipe. Good job on the poly. They make shears for poly to get a great cut and also inquire about the shaver for it, makes the ends your putting together perfectly straight. Great job!
I thought they might but I don't do these everyday.
Ahhhhh yeeeeaaa Stud!!! It's about time you Got it on!
Your right stud!
Two studs goin at it - get it on.
Old school style
Nice tidy professional job,Thank you for sharing that Sir.
YW
I wish you showed the cured product. Looks great, Good job!
TY
You have done a very meticulous job. Impressive to say the least. 👍🏻👍🏻
ty
nice job as usual. Always enjoy your videos
TY
Great video sr.
Putting in rock salt at the end is new to me.. maybe one day you can do a close-up of doing that, and show how it cures out.
Sure
I have another rock salt coming up.
What the heck does the salt look do??
Love watching and learning from your explanations and video you capture on site.
Makes a lot of holes
Is very good Vincent
Id give 2 thumbs up if I could, Awsome talent.
TY
My only request would be that you show a pic of the finished work. However I know it probably doesn't make much sense to drive back out just for that.
burlymugg
I get that request a lot.
Yes, I was just curious as to how well the concrete patch-up blends into the existing slab once dried.... Nice work!
Excellent work!
TY
Excellent work and great commentary!
TY
Mr.Odell l will repeat to millions time the suitable man in suitable place that's you excellent job
TY
Great job guys
TY
good job
Love it bro good work
TY
Dam Dave you do it all
JIM RICHTER
I try
Great video !!!
What I didn't get was the rock salt !!!
That's the last thing we want on our concrete here in Michigan.
It makes holes in the concrete, A decorative finish
Great work!
TY
what a great job.
TY
Nice job!
TY
very professional. Nice job.
ty
Would you not have o be a separately qualified gas fitter to work on a job like this? Or are you a plumber as well?
I'm everything I want to be
Nice job as always!
TY
TY
Very nice work!
TY
Good Job. Cool.
TY
Really neat work
TY
First time seeing your work and channel. Loved the finishing job, plumbing and concrete. Looked awesome, wondering what a job like this ran, I'm thinking close to 5k. ?
Thank you Odell
Sure
YW
Nice job. But honestly if it was my house. Screw that, a gasline is being ran along the wall
+lolMyke
Get it on
Yeah, no doubt.
Depends on how much money you can throw and how your requirements on the looks are. I guess both variables where for this homeowner ‘high’.
You can’t cuz of the door
@@gungraveheat7860 I was at a customer's house recently doing a repair and I noticed a 2" iron gas line running along the wall to the backyard and also a 1" electrical conduit running parallel, with the strut bolted to the wall. Then it makes a bunch of 90's to go up and around a side door. Ugliest thing I ever saw, I wish I would have taken some pictures. It looked like train tracks on the side of the home. That hurts the re-sale value too. Underground is the way to go.
Awesome explanation! Thank you!
YW
Thanks Mr. O’Dell! How did you dill for the those 3/8th rebar? Looks like it would be a tight fit. Did you come in at a low angle and then bend the rebar level? That’s what I was thinking....
on a angle then bend down
One thing I really appreciate about your work is you do not appear to do that "it's good enough" crap work. The ends weren't square so you took the time to make it so. I guarantee there's many tradesmen who would have said that it was good enough after the first cut on that flex pipe and used it as is. Many times when I've had to do something to my house I have to deal with stuff that was apparently "good enough" at the time and as a result nothing is like it should be and I spend way more time fixing what was already there versus doing what I set out to do. Keep up the good work!
TY
I'll try
thanks for the video. how much did the job cost including labor?
3500
Nice clean work!
TY
Really nice work
TY
2" underground! damn!
Great work as always.
TY
Underground piping is suppose to be no less than 18 inches below the surface of the ground unless otherwise protected. What can you protect it with?
concrete
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Thank you, so it can be 12" deep if filled with concrete?
Awesome you do plumbing too. Didn’t the kit come with a rig that push your fittings together on the hot plate and then together after removing hot plate?
We do it all out here! but it did not.
Curious about why you went with the welded fittings over the push on? I know that the push on one's are ridiculously high but I would think renting the welder would cancel out the savings. And in looking back would you do it the same way?
The push on mechanical is what failed on the old line, so I thought I would go with a sure shot.
Good looking job!
ty
Nice job dave! So will we see an "Odell complete plumbing" channel in the new year? :)
Sounds good.
Its a possibility.
TY
First of all, really nice job. Second, over kill! No reason for 2" even for future appliances. You can use the old steel pipe as a casing and shoot 1" poly through. Meaning you would only need to dig pilot holes to set the risers by the meter and near the heater (no trench required). 30ft of 1" would have been good for 374,000btus, 466k for 20'. Well enough for a 40,000btu heater. Steel casing is also used for locations as well.
Good idea
Very good video, I have a question,I am going to do a fire pit and a BBQ grill on my backyard and my question is, can the gas and electricity lines go together so as not to dig another ditch? And I will need two gas lines if I am going to make a fire pit and a BBQ grill or just need one gas pipe ? the fire fit and the BBQ will be separated from each other 25 feet
Yes you can!
Try teeing off the gas line.
why are you going from 1.5" up to 2" and then back down to 3/4" when the demand for that unit does not call for that diameter at that distance ???
future accessories
Odell Complete Concrete with a 30 foot run , 1.5” pipe would be more than enough even with accessories added, nice job though .
You're a man of many talents! My guess is that 99% of other Concrete Companies would pass on the gas line and sub that portion out.
Probably right.
Really great job I'll be doing the exact same task starting tomorrow, and I can't thank you enough. But tell me - where do you think the leak was coming from...?? Could it have been those super loose fittings at the meter ?!
According to the Gas Company it was below ground by gate, which would put the leak at the 90 degree riser and straight run.
How much could you saved and saved the customer by running it on the wall ?
And up and over the door.
Great video, not sure I understand the need for a 2 inch pipe
Biggers better for future accessories
Nice job.
TY
Damn is there anything you can't do haha. Great job.
Yes many things, but I'm willing to try.
I like your intro it’s really cool
TY
You are super talented. How much did you charge?
2500
was that 1 day project?
that was great man!
BLacKNesMonsTaz
TY
nice job
TY
Was the initial pipe fail do to improper installation? How was the leak detected to the heater?
Gas Company. Leak detector.
I think the leak was underground at transition fitting.
You have lots of patience...what is the purpose of the salt?
Makes holes in the surface for a decorative finish
at 19:30 i dont think you had enough pipe dope on your gauge assembly lmao, great vid tho bro
Its never to much, only not enough.
You are awesome !
TY
David. Wonderful job. Since that old cement had mold on it from being in the shade, what's the best way to clean off mold like that?
Muratic acid
5 parts water 1 part acid. gloves and a scrub brush.
Thank you for the tip!
Sure
Awesome. Thanks.
