    OK, here are the pictures. I picked up a 90 and a straight 1/2in black pipe connector in case the one I have is galvanized. So, here you go...

    Sorry, I guess you got pushed off the bottom of the page, didn't see you post.

    Looks like you are hooked up. Looks fine to me except I would prefer to see a more gentle bend in the flex line

    Well the problem is I still have that small leak right at the shutoff valve. The first connection above it has a tiny leak I can not get to stop

    Take that connection completely off and try to take a picture with both parts visible. Put a smal rubber band under the nut to hold the nut up. You can use a small stich and two rubber band to hold it slightly above the connector.

    Otherwise we won't be able to see then end of the connector. You can tape it up too

    I really want to see what you have without second guessing.

    The fitting going into the black iron coupling is a male flare fitting. The fitting going into the coupling has to be iron pipe size with tapered threads. That is the way I see it. The gas valve could be flare also.
