Gas Line Work in Shelby Township

Gas line work is not a DIY project. It requires a permit, a licensed plumber, and a pressure test witnessed by the inspector before any appliance gets connected. We do this work every week across Metro Detroit — and we take it seriously.

A Shelby Township homeowner was converting from electric to gas cooking and wanted to add an outdoor grill connection at the same time. The existing gas service had enough capacity, but the distribution piping inside the house was undersized for the added load.

We pulled the permit, ran new 3/4-inch black iron from the meter to a new manifold in the utility room, then branched 1/2-inch lines to the kitchen and through the rim joist to an exterior quick-disconnect fitting for the grill. All joints were threaded and pipe-doped — no compression fittings on gas.

Pressure test: 10 PSI for 15 minutes. No drop. Inspector signed off same day.

If you're adding a gas appliance — range, dryer, generator, fireplace, outdoor kitchen — call us before you buy the appliance. We'll tell you whether your existing service can handle the load and what the permit process looks like. No surprises.
