Expert Gas Line Installation in Longview, TX

Natural gas is a highly efficient fuel for powering furnaces, boilers, and other home appliances, and it requires a functioning gas piping system. That system consists of a main distribution line with multiple branch lines that deliver gas to each appliance.

If you’re looking to install a new natural gas-powered appliance where there wasn’t a gas line before, turn to the professionals at Napps Cooling, Heating & Plumbing for proper installation.

The Gas Line Installation Process

Installing a new gas line is a major overhaul of your home and a highly complex process. This is a condensed version of all the work required to install a gas line safely and successfully:

1. Permitting: Permits are required by local government building departments. Applications must include the full scope of the installation and many departments require a schematic. It’s also common for the installer to need a mechanical or plumber’s permit.
2. Pipe sizing: The installer will determine the correct size for your new piping by calculating the Longest Measured Run (LMR) and cross-referencing it with the different BTUs of your appliances and your local plumbing codes.
3. Piping installation: Your installer will help you select the appropriate type of piping from materials including stainless steel, galvanized steel, black iron, PVC, and other common options. Then they’ll run the line through the home using a variety of components like elbows and couplings to ensure efficient gas direction.
4. Shut-off valves & leak testing: Each new gas appliance needs its own shut-off valve that meets the National Electric Code, and each shut-off valve must be tested for leaks by plugging up the end of your pipeline. Pressure testing will reveal any leaks, which must be addressed.
5. Gas line connection: At this point, the installer will hook the new gas line up to the gas source and appliances and conduct a final inspection.

These steps are a significant simplification of the entire process, which requires professionals to complete properly.

Why You Need a Gas Line Professional

In addition to the permits needed and the complexity associated with installing a new gas line, safety is the number one reason to contact a professional for a job of this caliber. Natural gas is extremely volatile, and one slip-up anywhere during the process can lead to explosive results — quite literally.

Many new gas lines need to be run through walls or siding, making it easy to damage your home’s structure and cause damage to other dangerous systems like your electrical wiring.
