Safety first
In Ontario only a certified gas technician may do gas work, and installations are governed by provincial codes and the Technical Standards and Safety Authority. Lines must be sized for the appliances they serve, supported correctly and pressure tested before use.
How the job proceeds
- Calculate the total gas load and check the meter and existing pipe size.
- Plan the route and choose pipe material.
- Run the pipe and fit an isolation valve beside every appliance.
- Test the new piping under pressure.
- Connect and light the appliance and check for leaks.
North York houses
Many older homes have small gas lines from the original furnace and water heater. Adding a range, a barbecue line and a tankless heater may exceed what that line can deliver. Checking capacity first avoids appliances that underperform. See tankless installation and gas water heater installation.
Questions we get about this
Can I hook up my barbecue to the gas line myself?
Connecting to a gas line is work for a certified gas technician. A quick-connect outlet installed properly lets you plug the barbecue in safely.
