Howdy all. This is my first post/question to ask so here goes
When installing/hooking up the gas cook stove in the kitchen for my brother. I discovered the Plumber who previously installed the same stove at another house had put some sort of flow valve, back flow preventer or flow control (brass) fitting, at the stove. However, the arrows on this fitting which show the direction of the flow were pointed away from the stove and toward the wall/meter.? I would have thought the direction of flow would be in reference to flow coming from the wall/meter? So I suspect it may have been put in backwards but I do not want to be presumptuous.
I'm not a licensed Plumber however, I have installed Gas cook stoves in the past for myself as I've moved from house to house through my short 40 years on this earth lol and never had any problems. But I've never seen such a valve. So is it necessary to even have the device in-line?
Any help would very very much appreciated as we are very hungry and would like to start supper using our new stove lol Thank ya'll very much for any help
