LICENSED GAS FITTING Wollongong
Gas fitting is the specific trade and set of skills associated with working on a gas system. It is a distinct discipline from general plumbing, although many professionals are dual-licensed. The work involved requires a deep understanding of gas properties, combustion principles, and the strict safety protocols required for all gas-related work.
Scope of Work in Gas Fitting
Gas fitting work includes installing gas meters, running pipework, connecting appliances, setting up ventilation, and issuing compliance certificates. It also covers servicing, fault-finding, and performing repairs on any part of the gas system. Every joint, connection, and component in a gas system must be perfectly sealed and tested.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have more burning questions about leaking taps, a blocked toilet or your plumbing system? Here are some plumbing solutions.
One of the most critical gas fitting services is the detection and repair of gas leaks. Using specialised equipment, technicians can pinpoint the source of a leak, isolate the supply, and perform a safe repair. This service is vital for preventing potential fire, explosion, or health hazards associated with escaped gas. We deliver fast emergency repairs.
This service involves the professional gas appliance installation and connection to the main gas line. After connection, the appliance must be commissioned, which involves testing it to ensure it operates correctly, safely, and at the manufacturer’s specified pressure. This process guarantees both safety and an efficient gas system.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is a real and present danger in your home if you use gas heating. It is odourless, colourless and dangerous. Make sure you also consider ventilation when using your natural gas room heater.
Carbon monoxide forms as a result of incomplete combustion of the natural gas in use. This poison is colourless and odourless… how can it be detected? Carbon monoxide alarms are readily available and we consider these alarms great back support but the most effective plan of action to reduce carbon monoxide in your home… our gas fitter recommends the following,
Only have your gas appliances installed by a gas fitter
Service and maintain your gas appliances regularly
Only use in well-ventilated spaces
Heaters over 10 years old should be replaced
Have your professional plumbers pressure test your gas line.
By actioning the above list, you’ll be in the best possible position for reducing the build up in your home. Not sure when the last time you had your gas appliance serviced?
Routine maintenance is a preventative service designed to keep a gas system operating safely and efficiently. This involves thorough gas safety inspections of all pipework, connections, and appliances for signs of wear or malfunction.
Gas appliances are devices that use natural gas or LPG as a fuel source for heating, cooking, or other functions. Common examples include gas cooktops, ovens, space heaters, and hot water systems. They are popular for their efficiency, responsiveness, and often lower running costs compared to electric alternatives.
Gas Ovens and Cooktops
Gas ovens and cooktops provide precise temperature control, making them a preferred choice for many. They require a dedicated gas line and must be installed by a licensed technician to ensure the connection is secure and the appliance functions safely without leaks.
Gas Heaters
Gas heaters, whether flued or ducted systems, provide powerful and efficient space heating. The type of heater suitable for a space depends on factors like room size and ventilation. Correct installation and regular servicing of all gas heaters are crucial to prevent the risk of carbon monoxide spillage.
Outdoor Gas Appliances
Appliances such as gas barbecues and outdoor patio heaters can be connected directly to a property’s gas supply via a bayonet point. This provides a continuous fuel source, eliminating the need to swap gas bottles. This type of installation extends the convenience of gas to outdoor living areas.
Gas lines are the network of gas pipes that transport natural gas or LPG from the main supply or storage tank to the various appliances throughout a property. These pipes must be made from approved materials and sized correctly to ensure adequate gas flow and pressure to each appliance.
Gas Pipe Materials and Durability
Common materials for gas lines include copper, steel, and certain types of durable polyethylene (PE). The choice of material often depends on whether the pipe is installed indoors, outdoors, or underground. All materials must meet Australian Standards to ensure they can safely withstand pressure and resist corrosion for the life of the property.
Sizing and Pressure Regulation
The diameter of gas lines must be calculated based on the length of the pipe run and the total gas consumption of all connected appliances. If gas pipes are too small, it can cause a pressure drop, leading to poor appliance performance. A regulator at the meter ensures the gas enters the property’s system at a safe, usable pressure.
Gas leaks will smell similar to rotten eggs or sulphur. This smell is deliberate. As natural gas is odourless, mercaptan (the sulphur smell) has been added to help you detect when gas systems might be faulty and have a gas leak.
