spd-dmn spd-dmn Post Master Registered: 11/24/04 Posts: 2271	Hey, do any of you guys have a good gas guy? Looking to run a NG line for a bbq. Can it be tapped from the outside lines around the meter? If so then it would be a straight run, maybe 15 feet. Any ideas on costs? thx!

LNXGUY LNXGUY Post Master Supreme Registered: 08/06/00 Posts: 107013 Loc: Barrie, Ont,	Remember, all outside line has to be hard line. You can use flex inside the house. If your BBQ is far from the meter, might be cheap to run flex inside the house and only hard line to the BBQ once you're through the foundation. That's what I did. I need to run a line for my BBQ at the new house, but I'll do it myself. _________________________ -Bill The GN would OWN you, your children and your children's children. '09 E90 335d

Simon_the_Pieman Simon_the_Pieman Post Master Sr Registered: 08/13/01 Posts: 9469 Loc: The A	im running mine right now. doing the pipe rough-in and getting my gas guy to finalize and tag from the basement out. i dont like having so much pipe exposed outside unless you paint it or its hidden enough so its not an eyesore. im teeing off from the water heater supply and running towards the kitchen. leaving a tee there so i can have a gas range in the future. im adding a shutoff at the beginning, shutoff once i get out the house (walkout basement), and shutoff at my deck (main floor). try doing it yourself. its really easy! _________________________ "I'd love it if we did it... but I guess I'm a big skeptic on Canadians because so many are retarded as fuck." - 355-Si, 2020

You never know what could go wrong and playing around with gas isn't something you really want to screw up. There is also some calculations you need to do to make sure you use the right size piping over the distance you're going and you also may need to upgrade the supply size from the meter into the house of you have multiple devices already connected to the line. Remember NG is really low psi so the supply size matters more because it's the actual flow tie worried about not so much pressure.

Without the proper tag you really don't have a leg to stand on of you have an issue and you're trying to go through insurance.

Simon_the_Pieman Simon_the_Pieman Post Master Sr Registered: 08/13/01 Posts: 9469 Loc: The A	^^^ absolutely. thats why im only doing the rough in. actual connection will be by a licensed gas fitter. im sure (i hope lol) OP can measure and put the pipe where he wants without ever touching anything dangerous. _________________________ "I'd love it if we did it... but I guess I'm a big skeptic on Canadians because so many are retarded as fuck." - 355-Si, 2020

Also most appliances will have tag on them with what size line they need (1/2, 5/8, etc etc) _________________________ -Bill The GN would OWN you, your children and your children's children.
