Make sure you check the quality of the line and ensure that it's capable of providing electricity to an electric oven.
Begin by removing a cap from the valve, and then clean the surrounding area. If necessary make your wall hole larger to accommodate the larger diameter pipe. After the gas line has been installed, you can screw the connector or tube into the valve. Be cautious not to over tighten or you could risk damaging the threads.
