Gas BBQ Installation

Metropolitan Plumbing, Your Gas BBQ Experts

From Christmas lunches to footy grand finals and every other occasion throughout the year, having a barbecue in the backyard is a no-brainer here in Australia.

Thankfully, Metropolitan Plumbing is here for your new gas BBQ installation needs, providing 24/7* service for routine or emergency leak detection work. We can work with any make or model, and may even be able to help convert an LPG gas BBQ to natural gas.

To replace your portable LPG-powered barbie with a permanent gas BBQ installation, the process requires connecting to your existing gas line, extending pipework and securely installing the barbecue. Each of these tasks will need a licensed and experienced gas fitter.

The Importance Of Commissioning Your Natural Gas BBQ

One of the most crucial parts of gas BBQ installations, whether LPG or natural gas grills, is the commissioning process. This is essential for ensuring that your barbecue is safe, performs up to standard and actually complies with Australian Standard AS/NZS 5601.1:2022 (Gas installations). The BBQ itself will also comply with AS/NZS 5263.1.7 for domestic outdoor gas cooking appliances.

Gas appliance commissioning is a non-negotiable with any gas BBQ installation. Also not negotiable is using a licensed gas fitter for the process. Metropolitan Plumbing provides commissioning services as part of the installation or conversion process. This includes:

• Verifying the appliance and gas type (natural gas or LPG)
• Leak and tightness testing
• Setting operating pressure
• Functional checks of burners, ignition, flame stability and more
• Confirmation of a suitable location and proper ventilation
• Hose and connector compliance

They’ll also conduct final safety checks that will go a long way towards reducing BBQ emergency risks like carbon monoxide exposure and avoidable fire hazards. The qualified technician will also issue a gas compliance certificate, or equivalent in your state or territory, that shows your barbecue complies with relevant Australian standards.

Here To Help In An Emergency Gas Situation

As with any faulty gas appliance, a potential BBQ-related emergency gas situation is something that can happen. The possibility of a gas leak as a result of bad BBQ installation can be a serious health hazard. It can also cause potential damage to your home. Using the barbecue in a setting that doesn’t allow for proper air circulation can result in carbon monoxide exposure and poisoning, especially if you neglect maintenance.

Though we don’t provide basic repairs for barbecues, Metropolitan Plumbing will ensure your gas services are in prime working condition so you can rest easy. We provide thorough gas leak detection services and check everything from the gas piping to the gas connectors to ensure everything is as safe as possible.

You have the flexibility of weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments. Your plumber or gasfitter can take you through the easy application process on-site. Most customers who meet eligibility requirements typically enjoy approval within just minutes.
