You came to hook up a new range and found the gas line is undersized, the shut-off valve is corroded, and there's no drip leg. The client thinks a hookup is a hookup. SealedScope makes sure every code upgrade and line repair is signed before you turn on the gas.

Every gas fitter has been burned by this

🔥

The existing gas line is undersized for the new appliance. A range that needs 3/4-inch pipe is fed by a 1/2-inch line. You can't just connect it. The whole branch needs upsizing.

🔧

Shut-off valves are corroded, missing, or the wrong type. CSST bonding is missing. Drip legs weren't installed. Every code violation adds labor and material to a simple hookup.

➕

Client adds a gas fireplace, outdoor grill line, or pool heater connection to what was quoted as a single appliance hookup. Each new run requires sizing, piping, and testing.

Change orders gas fitters deal with on every call

Line Upsizing

$500 - $3,000

Existing gas line is undersized for the new appliance load. Running new pipe from the meter or manifold, upsizing the branch, and pressure testing the system adds significant labor.

Code Compliance Upgrades

$200 - $1,500

Missing drip legs, improper CSST bonding, no earthquake shut-off valve, or corroded fittings. Every code violation found during the job needs to be corrected before you can turn on the gas.

Additional Appliance Connections

$400 - $2,500

Client adds a gas fireplace, outdoor BBQ line, generator hookup, or pool heater. Each new run requires load calculation, pipe sizing, trenching (for outdoor), and leak testing.

Meter & Regulator Upgrades

$300 - $1,200

Current meter capacity doesn't support the new appliance load. Coordinating a meter upgrade with the gas utility adds weeks and requires a complete system pressure test.

Leak Repair & Pipe Replacement

$400 - $2,000

Pressure test reveals leaks in existing piping. Corroded black iron, failing threaded joints, or damaged CSST require section replacement and re-testing of the entire system.

Conversion Work

$600 - $3,500

Client is converting from electric to gas (or propane to natural gas). New piping runs, appliance orifice conversions, and regulator changes are required for each converted appliance.
