Hello: I'd like to help, but am unclear on the terms, coil and screw. Where are these parts? Also, it seems whoever installed it would not be happy to know it's leaking gas. They should come back to fix it. That's normal for contractors to warranty their work.
Yours, Larry

| Larry, thanks so much for reply, and yes the gas leak was not a good thing, I am only thanksful for getting off work early, cause the entire house smelled of major gas, ... Iam happy to reply that the installer came by yesterday and corrected the problem, apperantly air was in gas line??!! As for coil, it's the tubing thing the gas goes through, not sure what name for it, so coil sounded good for me, lol.. can you tell new at the home owning thing....Once again thanks so much.... Serge

| Air in the gas line does not cause a system to leak. It will turn off your pilot and your heater will shut down at that point. Your coil sounds like you mean supply hose. Most likely your leak was on this side of the sytem to cause such a "House wide" gas smell.
