We coordinate with cabinetmakers and electricians ensuring installations meet kitchen designer specifications and comply with current standards.
New Home Builds
Builder and owner-builder projects require complete gas reticulation design, installation of mains supply to meter, internal pipework throughout home, connection points for all gas appliances, final pressure testing, and certification before occupancy permits are granted by council.
Heating Upgrades
Switching from electric to gas heating reduces running costs significantly. We install ducted gas heating, gas log fires, or gas wall furnaces with new gas lines, adequate ventilation, thermostat wiring, and commissioning to ensure efficient operation throughout Sydney winters.
Outdoor Entertaining Areas
Creating alfresco cooking spaces with built-in BBQs, pizza ovens, and patio heaters. We install buried gas lines from house to outdoor area, surface pipework along walls or fences, multiple connection points for flexibility, and weatherproof isolation valves for safety and convenience.
Commercial Kitchen Fit-Outs
Restaurants, cafes, and catering facilities require high-capacity gas supplies for ranges, griddles, fryers, and wok burners. We design commercial gas systems meeting AS 5601, install large-diameter pipework, coordinate inspections, and provide certification for council and insurance requirements.
LPG to Natural Gas Conversions
Properties receiving natural gas supply can convert from LPG cylinders. We install new meters, design internal pipework, convert compatible appliances by fitting natural gas jets and regulators, commission systems, and decommission old LPG infrastructure safely.
Professional Gas Fitting Process
Systematic approach ensuring safety, compliance, and reliability
Initial Consultation & Site Assessment
We visit your property to assess existing gas infrastructure, measure distances from meter to appliance locations, identify pipe routes through walls and ceiling spaces, discuss appliance selection and placement, calculate total gas load requirements, and provide detailed written quotations with scope of works clearly defined.
Design & Planning
Our gas fitters design pipework routes minimizing disruption while maximizing safety and efficiency. We calculate pipe sizing based on appliance BTU ratings and distances from meter, plan locations for isolation valves and test points, coordinate with builders or renovators for access requirements, and schedule work to align with construction phases.
Pipework Installation
Install gas pipes using copper (hard-drawn or annealed), TracPipe CSST (corrugated stainless steel), or galvanized steel depending on application and building code requirements. Pipes are routed through roof spaces, under floors, or surface-mounted with appropriate brackets and protection from mechanical damage. All joints are brazed, soldered, or press-fitted to manufacturer specifications.
Isolation Valves & Test Points
Install isolation valves at meter, at each appliance, and at strategic locations throughout system for safety and maintenance access. Test points are fitted at meter and end of each run allowing pressure testing during commissioning and future leak detection. All valves are labelled clearly identifying which appliances they control.
Pressure Testing & Leak Detection
Before connecting appliances, entire system is pressurized to 7 kPa and held for minimum 15 minutes while we inspect every joint with electronic leak detectors and soapy water. Pressure gauges confirm system holds pressure without drops indicating leaks. Any issues are rectified immediately and retested until system achieves perfect integrity.
Appliance Connection & Commissioning
Gas appliances are connected to dedicated connection points using flexible hoses or rigid pipework as appropriate. Each appliance is individually tested for correct operation, burner ignition, flame characteristics, and safety controls. Operating pressures are verified at each appliance ensuring manufacturer specifications are met for optimal performance.
Ventilation & Flue Installation
Gas heaters, hot water systems, and cooking appliances requiring flues receive installations compliant with AS 5601. We install B-vent flues, power flues, or external terminations with weather protection, verifying adequate clearances from combustible materials, testing draft, and ensuring safe removal of combustion products from living spaces.
Certification & Documentation
Upon completion, we issue Certificate of Compliance for Gasfitting (Form 71) as required by NSW Fair Trading. Certificates detail all work performed, appliances connected, test results, and installer license details. We lodge certificates with NSW Fair Trading and provide copies for your records, insurance, and future property sales or rental.
Professional Gas Fitting Tools & Technology
Industry-leading equipment for superior installations
Digital Manometers
High-precision pressure testing equipment measuring down to 0.1 kPa resolution. Used during commissioning to verify operating pressures at each appliance match manufacturer specifications and throughout installation to test system integrity before connection.
Electronic Gas Leak Detectors
Combustible gas sensors capable of detecting natural gas and LPG at concentrations as low as 50 ppm. Used during pressure testing and commissioning to verify absolutely leak-free installations throughout entire gas system from meter to appliance.
Pipe Threading & Bending Equipment
Professional pipe threaders for galvanized steel installations and hydraulic pipe benders for copper work. Creating smooth, accurate bends without crimping maintains flow efficiency and professional appearance. Threaded joints provide robust connections for exposed commercial pipework.
Oxy-Acetylene Brazing Equipment
Precision brazing torches for copper gas pipe joining. Silver solder brazing creates joints stronger than the pipe itself, essential for concealed installations within walls and ceilings. Temperature control prevents damage to nearby materials during installation.
Press-Fitting Systems
Hydraulic press tools for joining TracPipe CSST and copper press-fit systems. Faster and safer than brazing in occupied buildings, press fittings eliminate open flames while creating reliable, code-approved connections. Ideal for retrofit installations and quick repairs.
Flue & Ventilation Testing Equipment
Combustion analyzers and draft gauges verify proper flue operation. We measure carbon monoxide levels, flue draft strength, and combustion efficiency ensuring safe removal of products from heaters and hot water systems protecting occupant safety.
Why Professional Equipment Matters
Gas fitting requires specialized tools ensuring safety and compliance. Our investment in digital testing equipment, precision brazing systems, and professional pipe working tools guarantees installations that exceed Australian Standards while maintaining efficiency and aesthetics. Every installation is tested to the same exacting standards regardless of project size.

Gas Fitting Regulations & Safety Standards
Understanding legal requirements and safety protocols
Licensing Requirements
In New South Wales, all gas fitting work must be performed by licensed gas fitters holding current authorisations issued by NSW Fair Trading. It is illegal for unlicensed persons—including licensed plumbers without gas qualifications—to install, modify, or repair gas appliances or pipework.
Our gas fitters hold full licenses covering Type A gas work (natural gas and LPG) for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. We maintain current insurance, participate in ongoing professional development, and stay updated on regulation changes affecting gas safety.
DIY gas work is prohibited regardless of property ownership. Illegal installations void insurance policies, create prosecution liability, and most importantly, endanger lives. Always verify your gas fitter's license before commencing work.
Compliance Certificates
Every gas installation or alteration in NSW requires a Certificate of Compliance for Gasfitting (Form 71). This legal document certifies work was performed by a licensed gas fitter and complies with Australian Standard AS 5601.
We lodge all certificates with NSW Fair Trading within 48 hours of job completion and provide copies for your records. Certificates are essential for insurance purposes, property sales, rental compliance, and warranty activation on new appliances.
Never accept completed gas work without receiving your compliance certificate. Missing certificates indicate unlicensed work, creating legal, insurance, and safety issues. All our certificates include detailed scope of works and test results for complete transparency.
Australian Standard AS 5601
AS 5601 "Gas Installations" defines mandatory requirements for design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of gas systems. Our installations exceed minimum standards, incorporating best practices for safety, efficiency, and longevity.
The standard specifies pipe materials and sizing, pressure testing procedures, ventilation requirements, clearances from heat sources, and appliance installation methods. We apply AS 5601 requirements to every project regardless of size.
Regular updates to AS 5601 incorporate new safety knowledge and technologies. Our team maintains current knowledge through ongoing training, ensuring your installation benefits from latest safety improvements and technical advancements.
Gas Safety Protocols
Gas safety begins with proper design—correctly sized pipes maintain adequate pressure while preventing dangerous over-pressurization. We calculate gas loads accounting for all appliances operating simultaneously, ensuring reliable supply during peak demand.
Pressure testing to 7 kPa for 15+ minutes identifies any leaks before appliance connection. Electronic leak detection at every joint, combined with soapy water application, guarantees absolutely leak-free systems. Zero tolerance for leaks protects lives and property.
Ongoing safety requires annual servicing of gas appliances and periodic system checks. We provide maintenance schedules customized to your appliance types and usage patterns, helping prevent failures and maintain safe, efficient operation throughout equipment life.
