Gas Fitting FAQs

Gasfitting refers to the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas systems and appliances, including gas lines, hot water systems, and heating devices. It ensures that gas is safely supplied and used in homes and businesses.

A key part of gasfitting is ensuring all connections meet safety standards, particularly in Queensland, where safety is governed by strict regulations like the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 and the Gas Supply Act 2003​.

Because gas is potentially hazardous if not handled properly, only licenced professionals with specific training in gasfitting are qualified to perform this type of work. Our team is fully certified and trained to provide safe, reliable gasfitting services.

A gas installer is responsible for installing, testing, and maintaining gas systems and appliances to ensure they operate safely and comply with strict safety regulations.

At Local Plumbing & Gas Co., our licensed gas installers, certified under Gas Work Licence L94258, are trained to:

  • Install gas appliances and systems: We ensure gas lines are properly installed and connected to appliances such as cooktops, ovens, heaters, and hot water systems. This includes setting up new installations and upgrading older systems.
  • Test gas lines for safety: Safety checks are critical. We conduct gas pressure tests and leak detection to ensure gas lines and appliances function without risk.
  • Compliance with safety standards: Our installers follow the standards set out by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC). This includes regular checks and maintenance to ensure systems comply with the Gas Supply Regulation 2007 and other codes of practice​.
  • Maintenance and repairs: Regular maintenance is essential for preventing gas leaks and ensuring the long-term safety and efficiency of gas appliances. Our team can diagnose and fix issues, including faulty gas connection or malfunctioning components, ensuring your system remains in optimal condition.

By working with licensed professionals like us, you ensure your gas system meets and performs efficiently and meets the latest safety regulations. Proper gas installation and maintenance can prevent dangerous gas leaks and other hazards and let you enjoy the benefits of gas without the worry.

Yes, plumbers can fit gas, but only if they are licensed for gas fitting. In Queensland, plumbers must hold a separate Gas Work Licence in addition to their plumbing qualifications to legally perform gas fitting work. This includes installing gas lines, appliances, and conducting safety checks on gas systems.

Our team includes plumbers who are also licensed gasfitters. This dual qualification allows us to handle your plumbing and gas installation needs. Our gas fitting services include installing gas hot water systems, cooktops, and heaters and ensuring that all connections comply with Queensland’s strict safety standards.

If you need gas installation or repair work, it’s essential to hire a licensed professional who can handle both plumbing and gas fitting safely and legally.

In Queensland, there are two primary types of gas connections for homes and businesses:

  1. Reticulated Natural Gas (Natural Gas):
    Natural gas is delivered to homes via a network of underground pipelines. It’s a steady supply that does not require refilling, making it convenient and reliable for continuous use. However, natural gas is only available in certain areas, typically more urban regions like Brisbane and the Gold Coast. If your property is located near a natural gas pipeline, a gas installer can connect your home to the network​.
  2. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG):
    LPG is stored in gas bottles or tanks and is more common in regional and rural areas where reticulated natural gas is not available. LPG is delivered in bottles or tanks, which need to be refilled periodically. It’s portable, making it a flexible option for homes or businesses that do not have access to natural gas. However, managing LPG requires careful monitoring to ensure you don’t run out​.

When choosing between these options, consider the availability in your area, your gas needs, and the costs associated with each type of connection. For larger gas installations or conversions, it’s important to consult a licensed gasfitter who can assess which option is best suited for your home.

Gas fittings come in many types, each designed for specific functions in systems, ensuring a secure and safe connection between gas lines and appliances.

Local Plumbing & Gas Co. use various fittings based on the specific needs of the system, including:

  1. Function-based fittings:
    • Adapters: Connect pipes of different sizes.
    • Couplings: Join two pipes of the same size.
    • Elbows: Change the direction of a gas line.
    • Tees: Split or combine gas flow.
    • Caps and Plugs: Seal the ends of pipes to close off gas flow.
    • Valves: Regulate the flow of gas through the system.
  2. Connection-based fittings:
    • Compression fittings: Create a seal by applying pressure on a gasket.
    • Flare fittings: Handle high-pressure connections, often found in gas systems.
    • Threaded fittings: Use male and female threads to secure the connection and prevent leaks.
  3. Material-based fittings:
    • Brass and copper: Common for residential systems.
    • Stainless steel and aluminium: Often used in high-pressure or corrosive environments.

Selecting the right type of gas fitting is crucial for safety and performance. At Local Plumbing & Gas Co., we ensure the correct fittings are used for each job based on system requirements and safety regulations.

Yes, gas fitters are specifically trained and licensed to handle gas leaks. Our licensed gas plumbers (Gas Work Licence L94258) are qualified to detect, repair, and prevent gas leaks in residential and commercial properties.

Gas leaks are a serious safety hazard, and it’s crucial that only licensed professionals address them. Our Gold Coast gas fitters use advanced equipment to detect leaks, such as pressure testing devices and gas leak detection devices. Once identified, we take immediate steps to repair the leak, ensuring your gas system is safe and compliant with all safety standards​. Visit our Leak Detection page for more information.

If you suspect a leak, it’s important to act quickly by immediately turning off the gas supply and contacting a licensed gas fitter. Never attempt to handle a leak yourself, as improper gas fitting repairs can result in dangerous situations.
