$20 \u2013 $26 Per Foot<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
The cost of gas line installation is $20-$26 per linear foot with an average of about $24 per foot, when the line runs from an existing gas connection. When the pipe is run from the meter, cost rises to between $36 \u2013 $44 per foot for the project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Average Cost of Gas Line Installation<\/h2>\n
Most homeowners pay an average of $24\/foot or between $640 and $885 when plumbing a 30 foot long line from a previously installed connection. This job might include cutting and threading pipe, drilling holes in floor joists or other framing, using fittings to connect the pipe ends and similar plumber costs.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re installing the home\u2019s first gas appliance and the line must be run from the meter, cost can double. Being able to use copper piping is also less expensive than black iron pipe, which is required in some areas.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s adding a gas line. In these cases, the new line can be run from the nearest existing line or connection.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re installing the home\u2019s first gas appliance, that is, adding gas to a home, cost rises closer to $1,600 or more. The line will begin at the meter or at a pipe just inside the home that was plumbed there when the house was built. If an inside line has been plumbed, it will be located near where the main line from the street or propane tank enters the home. The line may have a closed gas cock valve and will probably be capped.<\/p>\n This page of Business Finance News, or cost estimates, explores the cost of running a gas line in these two scenarios.<\/p>\n The first is an affordable option for the installation of new gas-burning equipment such as a gas fireplace or gas log insert. This can also be true for projects like replacing a gas furnace with a larger unit to serve more space. The more gas a home uses, the larger the diameter pipe required.<\/p>\n Cost factors are discussed, and retail prices for the materials needed are listed, though most homeowners hire a plumber or mechanical contractor to do the work. Hourly plumbing costs and time frame are included.<\/p>\n Along the way, gas line installation costs from other reliable sites are mentioned to show the range of potential pricing.<\/p>\n How much does this common indoor project cost? These factors will assist you in narrowing your estimate.<\/p>\n Few materials are required.<\/p>\n If you use black pipe, you\u2019ll buy pre-cut sections that are threaded on both ends. The planning will require determining the route from the meter or nearest connection to the equipment location. Then you\u2019ll have to configure the line using readily available pipe lengths including 10\u2019, 6\u2019, 4\u2019 and 18\u201d.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll use straight and angled fittings as connectors plus pipe thread sealant (pipe dope) or PTFE (yellow) thread tape. Check with your local plumbing inspector to find out what he or she wants. Some are picky regardless of what code permits.<\/p>\n If you choose, and code allows, CSST tubing, it is sold in rolls and connected with brass fittings.<\/p>\n Here are sample costs for black pipe and CSST tubing plus fittings and supplies.<\/p>\n Here are a few itemized costs related to installing a gas line. You might have a few of these depending on the scope of your project, and their cost are in addition to what prices for gas line installation.<\/p>\n Plumbers charge between $80 and $130 per hour in most locations. In cost per linear foot, this usually comes to about $18 to $22 per foot with the rest of the project cost being materials.<\/p>\n Plumbers install gas line at the rate of 4-8 feet per hour based on the complexity of the job.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t recommend doing gas line work yourself. If you\u2019re experienced with gas connections, you might be able to save a little by hooking up the appliance rather than having the plumber make the connection.<\/p>\n Fixr says, \u201cInstalling a gas line should not be done DIY. Gas is flammable, and if there are loose couplings or the wrong type of pipes used, it could be hazardous,\u201d which might be an understatement. Sure you might save the estimated $24 per linear foot, or $24.50 according to Homewyse, but there\u2019s just too much potential downside, in our opinion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $20 \u2013 $26 Per Foot The cost of gas line installation is $20-$26 per linear foot with an average of about $24 per foot, when the line runs from an existing gas connection.
