How the job is handled
We calculate the total load of every appliance and the length of the run to choose pipe size. Lines are installed with proper supports and shut-offs, then pressure tested. Work is done by technicians with the required Ontario gas certification and complies with current codes.
Flexible stainless steel gas tubing and black steel pipe are both used, depending on the application and code requirements. Each appliance gets its own shut-off valve.
