Required trenching steps like space clearing, digging, refilling, and landscaping can alter installation timeframes.
Activities like repositioning furniture or exchanging floorboards are essential for heater installation, particularly when integrating your appliance, and also consume time.
Sourcing the correct types of materials when pipes need specific type gas piping, fittings, and meter equipment can cause delays in projects if certain materials are not readily available.

Installing a new natural gas line to accommodate appliances versus extending pipes from an existing source involves distinct processes and considerations.
This detailed method ensures transparent installation costs for new gas line systems, despite potentially requiring more time.
If you’ve decided to implement gas cooking systems, such as your stove, or add gas line infrastructure for an additional appliance in your home, extending the current pipes can often be a swifter option.
The process may involve:

Engaging a licensed plumber and gas fitter is essential for gas line installation. They have extensive training and certification for safely handling and conducting a check your gas system installations per industry regulations.
The initial stage of gas connection includes shutting off the gas valve and securing components for installation. Performing installations without properly shutting off the gas is highly dangerous.
Gas fitters plan pipe routes meticulously to avoid contact with electrical lines or sewer pipes, ensuring safety. Crossing other utilities can damage lines.
We use sophisticated diagnostics to conduct thorough pressure testing, confirming pipe integrity and detecting leaks. Specialised equipment helps us check for small leaks that may not emit the typical gas odour.
Testing new gas lines is performed in areas with ample ventilation. Leaks in confined spaces could lead to explosive gas accumulation. We take every precaution to prevent hazards during gas installations.
Updated safety codes require excess flow valves that automatically cut gas flow during emergencies. Excess flow valves are installed on all new gas line installations for emergency shut-offs.
By adhering to strict safety protocols, the services we offer encompass both installation gas and maintenance, thereby ensuring no gas leaks and compliance with Australian standards. Contact our team to discuss your project.
Gas line installations involve strict legal requirements to ensure safety and compliance. Our expertise can help in navigating the permitting process, which requires approval from multiple authorities before work can legally commence.
For substantial infrastructure like new estates or commercial sites needing to do gas line installation, a development application (DA) may be required for initial council planning approval. DAs can take 6-12 weeks depending on project complexity.
Every residential gas installation must conclude with a gas compliance certificate, issued by a licensed professional. This legally certifies the gas system was installed to Australian gas Standard AS/NZS 5601 and is safe, often proving cheaper than non-certified counterparts over the long-term.
Licensed gas fitters can do the application for relevant plumbing and drainage permits before starting physical works. These are approved by local water authorities and include strict codes for trenching, pipe materials, purging, testing and restoration.
We efficiently manage the gas permitting process, ensuring fully compliant and insured gas line installations. Contact us or call 1300 349 338 to discuss your project.
The first step is to contact a reputable gas plumber who can provide a safety briefing, establish your needs, assess the site, and map out the ideal routes for piping. They devise a comprehensive plan which includes when to turn gas on or off, all adhering to the latest regulations.
Your gas fitter, responsible for switching off your gas supply, handles submitting all necessary permit applications to council authorities and utility providers on your behalf earlier to any work commencing.
Gas line street trenches are prepared, revealing where gas line installation occurs, extending from the strategically situated gas metre to each outlet throughout the property. Depth and drainage requirements are strictly followed.
The expert can install all crucial connections, safety valves, and scrutinise every joint and pipe using specialised methods to detect leaks and confirm integrity.
After testing, ensuring proper flow and getting your gas to its destination, trenches are carefully backfilled and landscaped to match their surroundings. All mess and debris is promptly cleared by the gas fitting team.
Upon completion, your gas fitter will provide a Compliance Certificate, certifying adherence to Australian Standards and regulations.
