Gas Piping Plumbing Services

Salt Lake City Gas Plumbers

Whether you're adding a new gas appliance, upgrading an existing system, or addressing a potential leak, safe and properly installed gas piping is essential. At Scott Hale Plumbing, Heating & Air, we provide expert gas piping services throughout Salt Lake City. 

From installations to inspections and repairs, our experienced plumbing team ensures your gas lines meet code, perform reliably, and keep your home and family safe.

What is Gas Piping?

Gas piping refers to the network of pipes that transport natural gas or propane from the main supply into your home. These lines power appliances like:

  • Furnaces
  • Water heaters
  • Gas stoves and ovens
  • Clothes dryers
  • Outdoor grills and fire pits
  • Fireplaces

Proper gas piping installation is essential for ensuring consistent fuel flow and protecting your household from leaks, pressure issues, or system failures. 

At Scott Hale, we work with homeowners and builders to design and install gas lines that match your needs and local SLC code requirements.

Types of Gas Piping

There are several types of materials used for residential gas piping, and each has advantages depending on the location, usage, and local regulations:

  • Black iron pipe: The most common material for gas lines due to its durability and high-pressure tolerance
  • Corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST): Flexible and easier to install in tight or complex areas
  • Copper pipe: Used in some older homes, but not always permitted for natural gas today
  • Polyethylene (PE) pipe: Used for underground gas service lines

Choosing the right gas piping material involves evaluating the size of the system, the appliances being used, and where the lines will be run. Our team will help you select the most appropriate option for your installation or upgrade.

How Do They Work?

Gas piping systems operate under controlled pressure to deliver gas from the main line to appliances safely and efficiently. Here’s a simplified overview of how the system functions:

  • The gas supply enters your home from the utility company or a propane tank
  • It flows through a main line and branches off to individual appliances
  • A regulator controls the pressure to ensure consistent and safe delivery
  • Shut-off valves are located near each appliance for service or emergency access
  • Vents or flue systems help remove combustion byproducts from the home

When properly designed and installed, a gas piping system provides clean-burning, reliable energy for your daily household needs.

Is Gas Piping Safe?

When installed by licensed professionals and maintained properly, gas piping is extremely safe. At Scott Hale, safety is always our top priority. Our gas piping services include:

  • Thorough system design: Ensuring proper sizing, routing, and materials
  • Secure fittings and joints: Preventing leaks and pressure loss
  • Pressure testing: Verifying that the system operates safely before use
  • Code compliance: Meeting all SLC and national plumbing codes
  • Appliance checks: Confirming that each connected unit functions correctly

Natural gas is efficient and affordable, but it must be handled with care. With our team, you’ll have peace of mind knowing every installation is done with precision and caution.

FAQs

Can I install my own gas piping?

No. Gas piping must be installed by a licensed professional to ensure safety and meet local code.

How long does gas piping last?

With proper installation and maintenance, gas pipes can last 40 to 50 years or longer.

What if I smell gas?

Leave the area immediately and call your gas utility provider. Then contact a professional to inspect the system.

Is CSST safe to use in homes?

Yes, when installed properly and bonded according to code. It offers flexibility and ease of installation in finished spaces.

Can I add new appliances to my existing gas system?

Possibly. We’ll assess your current system to ensure it has the capacity and pressure to handle additional load safely.
