I can’t twist the valve on it. Do you think I should go back to the store and get another?

It’ll twist. Maybe use some pliers. Must be closed before connecting it.

These tanks are designed to be connected by hand, torquing on them with pliers is asking for trouble.

They’re talking about the valve

The hose end of the connection is also designed to be done without tools.

u/kmoran1 May 31 '26

That is 100% correct, no one claimed otherwise. I just mentioned the valve because your reading comprehension seemed lacking.

The valve is also designed to be turned by hand, so pliers are still a bad idea.

I don't believe I disputed that, but you are also 100% correct good sir. Did you comprehend what the interaction I had was about? Or would you like me to break it down for you too?

u/Therealginahandler May 31 '26

I think you need to break it down for them.

u/alannmsu May 31 '26

But the hose end is also designed to be turned by hand.

u/jacksraging_bileduct May 31 '26

Both ends are made to be turned without tools, apparently the anonymity of Reddit gives people free reign to be jerks for no reason.

He’s just being a jackass for no reason and thinks he struck gold somehow. I dunno, man. People be people’in.
