Gas Fitting & Gas Lines FAQs
Q: Do I need a permit to install a new gas line in Metro Vancouver?
A: Yes, all gas line installations, extensions, and major alterations require official municipal gas permits and inspections under BC Safety Authority guidelines. Flex Plumbing manages all permit filings.
Q: Can I convert my electric kitchen stove to a gas range?
A: Yes, our licensed gas fitters can extend a new dedicated gas supply line from your main manifold to your kitchen and install the proper shut-off valve and appliance flexible connector.
Q: What should I do if I smell gas in my home?
A: Extinguish any open flames, do not operate electrical switches or phones indoors, evacuate all occupants immediately, call FortisBC's emergency line, and call Flex Plumbing at (236) 833-8017.
Q: How are gas lines tested for leaks during installation?
A: We perform pressure decay tests using calibrated air pressure gauges, pumping the isolated line well above standard operating pressure to confirm zero pressure drop before connecting gas.
Q: How long does it take to run a gas line for an outdoor BBQ or fire pit?
A: Most residential outdoor gas line extensions take between 3 to 6 hours, depending on trenching distance, exterior wall penetrations, and connection locations.
Q: Why must gas work be completed by a Red Seal certified gas fitter?
A: Gas fitting involves combustible fuels and high-pressure systems. Red Seal certified fitters have extensive trade training to prevent gas leaks, improper combustion, and carbon monoxide hazards.
