Thought this house was pretty unique, with the open atrium in the middle of the house. My concern would be if it snowed a lot, you would have to pile up the snow somewhere. I hope the drainage is really good there.

Why is it so cheap? That should be worth more than 4.5

I agree it's pretty cool, I would like a house like that.

I could use some help on how to connect my new fire table to the NG outlet.

The distance from the NG outlet to the end of the 6ft hose that came with the fire table is about 22 feet.

The NG outlet already has a 3/8 quick connect (QC) connector already screwed on to the outlet, one of these: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/u...-0852149p.html

So my idea is as follows:

Original hose is about 6 feet and one end is connected to the fire table. At the other end, it has a 3/8 male quick connect.

I would attach a QC connector to the end of the original hose. One of these: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/u...-0852149p.html

Then on the other end of the QC connector, I screw on this male to male adapter: https://www.amazon.ca/Breezliy-Conne...dp/B08M8P9TRF/

Then I purchase this extension hose:

One end goes on to the male-to-male adapter. The other end connects to the QC connector on the outlet at the house.

Is this going to be effective? Or do you see any flaws?

I believe natural gas uses JIC fittings, basicly a AN fitting for us car enthusiasts. 3/8” would be -6 if you got anything anything around (ok don’t do this, but it would work.

Saying that, your gonna have to see what those connectors actually use a Flared style fitting or NPT. It really could be either and at my quick glance don’t see it listed.

Besides that, your plan is fine.

If you want this like tomorrow. Go to Green Line and Hose. Fittings are cheap and they can get any line you want. Chance are you can ditch the line you have already, skip all the connectors and just get a line of the proper length to begin with.

Depending on the BTU of the appliance, and the pressure of the gas you are connecting to, you may be ok, or you may be undersized.

Just because the scamazon link says 50kbtu does not mean its 50kbtu.

Most houses are at 7-8"WC, and depending on total run from meter to appliance, that will give you max BTU at 3/8 pipe (flex hose), need a gas fitter with a code table to give you a proper number.

Roll the dice, buy it, turn it on, if it doesnt work, upsize the pipe.

Spoiler!

homeowners "guessing" the pipe size, and it not working, has generated many side jobs for me lol
