Safe Gas Line Installations and Repairs

Gas Line Installation and Repair in New Braunfels and surrounding areas

When you add a pool heater, install a backup generator, or replace a gas appliance, you need a gas line that delivers fuel safely and meets current building codes. Plumb - New Braunfels LLC installs and repairs gas lines for pool heaters, generators, and appliances throughout New Braunfels, running new lines from your meter or main supply and testing every connection for leaks before the system goes live.

We size gas lines based on the BTU requirements of your equipment, install black iron or CSST piping depending on the application, and run pressure tests to confirm the line holds steady without drops. Repairs address leaks at fittings, corroded sections, and undersized lines that can't supply enough gas to run multiple appliances at once. Every installation and repair follows Texas code and includes a final inspection to verify safe operation.

If you need a new gas line or suspect a leak, reach out to schedule an inspection and estimate in New Braunfels.

Line Routing Follows Equipment Demand

Gas line installations start with calculating the total BTU load of the appliance and measuring the distance from your meter or main line to the installation point. In New Braunfels, we run lines through attics, crawl spaces, and exterior walls, securing piping every four feet and protecting it from physical damage with conduit or guards where required. CSST lines offer flexibility around obstacles, while black iron pipe provides long-term durability in exposed locations.

After installation, your generator starts immediately when power drops, your pool heater reaches target temperature without fluctuating, and your gas appliances operate at full capacity without dimming burner flames. Pressure testing confirms the line holds at operating PSI for at least 15 minutes without loss, which means no leaks at joints or fittings.

Repairs involve isolating the damaged section, replacing corroded pipe or faulty fittings, and retesting the entire line to confirm integrity. We don't patch leaks with sealant or tape; every repair uses new pipe and fittings installed to code. Gas line work includes a final walkthrough to confirm appliance ignition, burner performance, and shutoff valve operation.

You Probably Have a Few Questions

Before scheduling gas line installation or repair, homeowners in New Braunfels typically want to know what's involved, how we test for leaks, and whether the work requires a permit.

How do you test for gas leaks?
We pressurize the line with air or nitrogen to operating PSI, then monitor the gauge for 15 minutes to confirm no pressure drop. We also apply leak detection solution to every joint and fitting to check for bubbles.
What is the difference between black iron and CSST piping?
Black iron pipe is rigid steel that lasts decades and handles high pressure, while CSST is flexible stainless steel tubing that's easier to route through tight spaces. We choose based on your installation location and local code requirements.
Do I need a permit for gas line work?
Most gas line installations and repairs require a permit and inspection in New Braunfels. We handle the permit process and schedule the final inspection to ensure code compliance.
How long does a gas line installation take?
Installation time depends on the distance from your meter and the complexity of the route, but most residential gas lines are installed and tested in four to six hours. Generator and pool heater lines may take longer due to trench work or exterior routing.
Can you run a gas line to my outdoor kitchen?
Yes, we install gas lines for outdoor kitchens, grills, and fire pits, running piping underground or along exterior walls and terminating with a shutoff valve near the appliance. Every outdoor line is tested and inspected before use.
