First of all a great little video, thank you and second of all, a nice little glimpse of reality into what seemed like a quick little job. I'm showing this video to my wife. DIY channels on television and things go so smooth and so fast. She wonders why it takes me longer? I run into problems she thinks I'm doing something wrong. Another thing I like is running into things where you have to keep going to the store. My wife always tells me" why don't you get what you need before you get started?" 😂

The reason the firepit came with a flare by MIP adapter is just in case you have an FIP connection. If you have a flare connection, they expect you to have a male flare to mate their female flare. In your case, you had a female flare end to your hose so you needed the flare coupling. In theory you could buy a differnt hose with male flare. The same would have been true if you had an MIP connection, you would need a FIP coupling.

Some things just don't need to be over titened. some water will solve the question of how tight to get it. Jeff was overthinking it. I've done super high-pressure air lines many times. It normally comes down to how much Teflon is to much or too little. And how corses the threads are. corses thred big pipe fitings can take up to 7 wraps and more. The point is that the hoes is ether cheap or just over titening.

Short answer is that it was probably a cheap fitting. That flared connection doesn't require tape because the matching cone surfaces of the male and female create the seal needed, as long as there is enough torque supplied to make a tight seal. Jeff is right that you should make sure it is pretty tight, but all fittings have a limit to how much torque it can handle without deforming or cracking. Side note: the reason the tape is needed for the MIP threads is that the thread itself is what makes the seal, but there will always be a small gap between the mating threads. Using the proper teflon tape fills in those gaps while still allowing the threads to rotate.

A certified gas fitter is needed. Gas is NOT a diy project. This is not hooking up a propane tank to a barbeque. If there were to be an explosion the insurance company, in conjunction with the Fire Marshall, would deem diy-er was at fault and your insurance claim would be denied. It's not about ability but by regulation. Be careful of KZitemrs like this.
