Gas appliance hookups
A gas appliance hookup connects a range, dryer, grill, fire pit or heater to your gas supply with an accessible shutoff valve, a rated connector and, where required, a sediment trap, then leak-tests every joint.

Swapping an electric range for gas, adding a standby generator, or adding a built-in grill is common in remodels. It often needs a new stub-out or an extended line.
Outdoor connections need to be rated for UV and heat exposure.

Frequently asked questions
Can the appliance store hook up my gas range?
Some do. Most jurisdictions require a licensed contractor and a permit for new gas piping, but a simple reconnection may not need one.
