Gas Line Plumbing

Gas Piping for New Appliances, Old Lines and Leaks

Gas piping feeds some of the hardest-working equipment in a house: the water heater, furnace, range, dryer, fireplace and backyard grill. Put in with care it stays safe for many years; put in carelessly it turns into a hazard.

Maybe you are adding an appliance, retiring old pipe or chasing a smell you can’t place. Either way, this is a job for a trained gas plumber.

Newington Plumber offers gas line installation and repair in Newington, CT. Ask for the line to be sized for the load and pressure-tested before the gas is turned back on.

Buried runs to a grill or pool heater add a step: under Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority rules, the contractor you hire must contact Call Before You Dig two full working days ahead.

Gas Piping Work We Take On

Replacing Old Gas Pipe

  • Repairing or replacing the bad section
  • Reconnecting and checking each appliance
Never leave a suspected leak for later.

Check the License Before Gas Work Starts

Test Before Gas Goes On

Scope and Price in Writing

Ask for the scope of work explained and the estimate written down before anything starts.

Questions About Gas Work

Gas Line Questions

Is a permit needed to run a new gas line?

Yes, as a rule. The Newington Building Department, for example, requires a plumbing permit for the gas line to a new gas fireplace.

A simple appliance hookup often takes a few hours. A new run can fill most of a day, depending on its length and route.
Yes, when they are approved for the purpose and fitted to code. They are meant for the final link to an appliance.
The line is put under pressure and watched on a gauge, and joints are checked with a leak-detection solution.
It is not a DIY job. Hire a plumber with the right Connecticut license, and check it before work begins.

What is the lifespan of gas piping?

Black iron pipe that was put in well can serve for many decades, and corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) holds up well too when it is fitted to code.
Get everyone out and phone the gas utility from outside. Leave switches and electronics alone, and don’t try to fix anything yourself.
Yes. A properly sized branch can usually be added to feed a new gas appliance.
