How a gas line is installed
We calculate the load of all your gas appliances to make sure the line from the meter can supply them together. We pipe with black steel or certified corrugated tubing and fit each appliance with its own valve. Everything is pressure tested before the gas is turned on.
- Calculate gas load and plan the route.
- Install piping and valves.
- Pressure test the new line.
- Connect appliances and check for leaks.
Safety and rules
The TSSA sets the rules for fuel work across Ontario, and only a certified gas fitter may do it. Catch a whiff of gas? Get out first, then phone the utility once you are outdoors.

Can I install my own barbecue line?
No. That piping is legally a job for a certified gas fitter, and your insurer will expect one.
