    I dont know whether to or or

    Using a quick-connect fitting from a pre-made run is in no way the same as threading, installing a gas line from the meter to a new location.

    Seth, can you show a single documented case where someone has done their own gasfitting in this manner, and then had a subsequent claim denied? I'd prefer Alberta examples, but would settle for anything in Canada, in any time period.

    Seth1968 is just fucking dumb.

    Running gas line is hardcore shit. The traditional way is the gas fitter makes the threads himself on site!

    The tools are insane. The wrench they use to tighten the fittings are massive.

    That's why homeowners aren't allowed to do them.

    Attaching the flex hose to the BBQ from the QC is really, really easy and straightforward for anybody.

    Well except for Seth1968.

    You really just need to call around and get them to come onsite and quote you. I used Protech to do my line because I needed it done in a rush.

    Just because there's an existing run nearby where you want to make a new connection, it doesn't mean you can use it since there is a limit on how many BTU's a line can support (otherwise, when you turn your stove or fireplace on, you will reduce the flow to your bbq).

    In my case, they had to run a new line right off the meter because of what I already had on the existing 3/4" line that was inside my house.

    My total cost to run the gas line for a gas range ended up closer to $1,200 because of the length of pipe required, and the addition trips required because of the pressure testing the city needed (due to the long run of pipe).

    Edit: The only people who can pull a gas permit in the city are licensed gas fitters with a business license to do business in Calgary. My father in law (a master gas fitter, but retired), couldn't pull a permit because he didn't have a business license with the city.

    3 year bump. Any recommendation for a shop to run a gas line to the back yard to run BBQ + Patio Heater.

    I feel like I posted this somewhere else a couple months ago but... BUMP

    There has got to be a beyond reccomended gasfitter to run a gas line to my deck? It’s solidly spring and my wife is sick of me searing off steaks on the stove lol.

    Presumably guys are looking for some small jobs like this these days to fill their time with the coronavirus stuff?

    I feel like the ~1000 bucks it will cost me is money well spent for this job.

    Maybe I’ll try a different approach here;

    Does anyone on beyond have any reason I shouldn’t go with Protech?

    Ok so since no one really had any advice I ended up having Protech do the install. Called them Monday for a quote, and they gave me a big long list of how their costs come in for a BBQ line right up front. Very transparent pricing with came to 825 for me for a 21 foot run with a drill from my furnace room outside and a new 1/2" QD attachment for my bbq. Happy to provide this via PM or you can just email protech.

    Wife got back to them Tuesday to confirm we want to do the job, they did the install thursday morning and took a couple hours. City inspector apparently came by this morning without even letting me know and passed the work ( i already have the permit. )

    Guy from protech was knowledgeable and professional and did a good job on the install.

    So there, now we have a beyond recommendation for a gas line install lol
