propane leak

[nadelma]

MY HUSBAND CUT THROUGH THE PROPANE PIPE BY ACCIDENT. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX THIS?
IT IS RIGHT INSIDE THE DOOR ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT. IT GOES INTO THE CLOSET.
HE WAS PUTTING UP PANELING ON THAT WALL AND WHEN HE WAS CUTTING FOR THE VENT HOLE, HE CUT THIS.
OF COURSE NOW WE HAVE A NICE PROPANE SMELL AND HE HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

You should be able to get a plumber or someone who works on propain systems to cut it square and thread the two ends then they can put a connector between them that screws togather you might have to remove some paneling but other than that it should be a pritty easy job
you didn't say if it was a copper line or black pipe Iwas telling you on the black pipe

[Conrad]

Assuming that it was a soft copper pipe that he cut, make the ends somewhat square, clean up the edges, get a compression fitting that will take in both ends of the pipe and tighten  it up.  forget the plumber.

MAKE SHURE YOU GET A GOOD COMPRESSION FITTING.
A GOOD ONE WILL HAVE A TWO PIECE COMPRESSION FERIL.
THE CHEAP ONES WILL VIBRATE LOOSE  AFTER A FEW YEARS OR LESS AND YOU WILL HAVE A LEAK AND POSSIBLE FIRE.
