I would check local codes. You may need a licensed plumber or gas company to do the hook up. I do a lot of DIY projects, but avoid gas connections in my house.

  No codes. A lot of stores t hat sell appliances offer installation and hookup for a fee upon delivery. They don't hire plumbers. Some gas companies will hookup for free but not all.

  Yes, my husband & I asked but Lowe’s delivery guys don’t do it anymore here. Will try calling our gas company first before a Plummer tho, trying to save a little $$.

This is only the hose to the back of the stove, I’m not doing the actual gas hook up. Just wanted to get it started. Thank you for commenting!

Always use pipe sealant. Make sure it's gas rated sealant. Do not use teflon tape.
