Gas Pipe Plumbing is Different than Water or Drainage Plumbing

Sometimes people will refer to gas pipe installation as gas pipe plumbing, which is a fair comparison.  Plumbing deals with pipe connections, channeling needed resources, and legal construction standards.  But there are some key differences between water/drainage plumbing and gas pipe plumbing.  A licensed plumbing contractor can handle each type.  But if your project is truly for natural gas or propane gas piping, then you will certainly want to contact a licensed gas piping contractor.

The types of pipe used in gas pipe installation are different than standard plumbing, of course.  But there are also differences and strict standards regarding the types of joints, joint compounds, lengths of pipe, and methods of ventilation used in gas pipe plumbing.  Your plumber or gas pipe contractor must fully understand these regulations to successfully complete the project.

A permit from your local authority will always be required to install or alter a gas piping system, and an inspection will be completed.  Be sure to look for a licensed gas pipe line company that is in good standing with the local governing authorities to be certain that your installation meets all state and local codes.

Natural gas or propane gas designed for home or business use is safe and cost effective, and you should have no fear about using these fuels as much as needed.  A safe and legally-compliant gas plumbing installation means that you have no reason to worry.
