Use the information below as a guide for your gas piping estimate/proposal. Be sure to delete or change the items to meet the requirements of your actual project. This is just  a basic template

​

Provide and install gas piping to connect from the new gas meter to locations as specified. The project includes all necessary permits and inspections. Clients must be available to be home for city inspection.

The cost estimate includes:

Costs for local material / equipment delivery to and service provider transportation to and from the job site.

Costs to prepare the worksite for Gas Line Installation, including costs to protect existing structure(s), finishes, materials and components.

Labor setup time, mobilization time and minimum hourly charges that are commonly included for small Gas Line Installation jobs.

The cost estimate does NOT include:

Costs for removing, relocating, repairing, or modifying existing framing, surfacing, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems - or bringing those systems into compliance with current building codes.

Costs for testing and remediation of hazardous materials (asbestos, lead, etc).

 

Task

 

Provide and install materials and supplies as needed to provide gas piping to the following appliances or future appliances: fireplace logs, gas dryer, gas cook stove, gas water heater, packaged gas heat & AC unit, and outdoor grill.

The piping will consist mainly of copper pipe run as continuous lengths as possible. Each appliance/location designated will be provided with a transition from copper pipe to ½” iron pipe with an individual 1⁄4 turn manual shut off valve. Where a step down regulator is indicated the ¼ turn shut off valve will be installed to allow service of the regulator without having to turn off the entire gas supply to the home.

The fireplace will have a step down regulator located in the garage prior to the pipe entering the “fire box”. Additionally there will be a floor or wall valve installed next to the fireplace on the inside of the home as required for emergency shut off.

The gas line for the water heater location will also be provided with a regulator in the vicinity of the proposed location of the tankless water heater.

The gas line for the stove will have an individual regulator installed under the home, near where the gas pipe will penetrate the floor behind the stove location, additionally there will be a ¼ turn shut off valve behind the stove.

The gas line connection to the gas dryer will be provided with a transition from copper to iron pipe and capped off behind the dryer.

The gas line for the packaged Gas Heat & AC unit will be provided with a transition from copper to iron pipe, with w “tee” fitting and capped off, this will allow for the future connection to the package unit and for a gas grill if ever desired.
