Gas Piping

Gas Piping

We approach every Arizona job with the considerations of the total BTU (British Thermal Load) requirements of the Arizona job. Every gas appliance has a total BTU rating plate.

More Details about this service

We add up all of the appliances ratings and come up with the total BTU load for your Arizona job. We then determine which type of pipe is best suited for the Arizona job. Then we use formulas to appropriately size the pipe. In some cases we will oversize the pipe for future use the Arizona customer has told us about. We use a variety of Arizona approved gas pipe.

We use polyethylene gas pipe in Arizona. It’s the same piping that the gas company puts in the ground in Arizona. We only use socket fusion or butt fusion to put the pipe together. When adding a Tee or a Riser it is necessary to add fittings in Arizona. When we fuse the pipe the fittings and pipe are actually stronger than the original pipe when the process is done. Fusing the pipe is done by a certified installer with special tools to ensure a proper fuse every time. After the pipe is fused, it is installed 18” below ground with an approved tracer wire. The purpose of the tracer wire is so the pipe can be located after it is buried with a locating machine. The line is pressurized and awaits inspection from the local inspector, as is all types of gas pipe we use. After we have received our inspection from the local jurisdiction, we add shading on top of the pipe then backfill the trench.
