Steps to Replace a Gas Line or Steps to Install a Gas Line Replacement

1. Mark area of excavation with white paint. When using an excavator, call 811 – call for the utility company location of public utilities 3 days before work begins.
2. Excavate near the existing curb stop. Excavate where the gas line enters the home. Expose and cut both ends. Keep the existing pipe clean of debris.
3. Insert new yellow gas pipe inside existing cast iron gas pipe. This creates a 2nd wall that protects the plastic gas pipe. Add a sleeve where it goes through foundation walls, or goes through concrete. Seal up all penetrations to make an air- and water-tight seal. This is done by using elastomeric gaskets, silicone, caulking, or hydraulic cement.
4. Install new meter bar, sleeve, and gas line, backfill with sand to protect new gas line, and test with a Kuhlman gauge or spring gauge.
5. Install tracer wire from curb stop to new meter bar.
6. Connect new gas pipe to gas company main using transition fitting. Connect new gas pipe to new gas meter bar.
7. Test new line using a Kuhlman gauge or spring gauge depending on gas company requirements and plumber specified requirements.
8. Test with the gas company who installs the meter. In our area, this is typically Columbia Gas and Peoples Gas, which now owns Equitable Gas.
9. Add sand around the new piping to protect the pipe.
10. Backfill soil, and add stone when appropriate.
11. Backfill and tamp. In areas of sidewalks, we typically add 2B gravel to grade to prevent trip hazards until the homeowner can hire a concrete contractor to repair.
12. In areas of the yard, we backfill and tamp. We mound up excess soil so that, when the ground settles, it will look more natural.
13. We clean up by removing excess concrete, tools, soil, rock, sand, and trash off of the worksite. Depending on the time of year, we may use brooms or hoses to wash down the areas we work on.
