It sounds as though you are interested in doing this yourself?

Unless you have an existing tap or port available from the main then one will have to be installed. That takes some expertise.

Running the line can be either black pipe or the new yellow-jacketed stainless pipe that is a heck of a lot easier to install but requires someone licensed (at least in my state) to even buy it.

Running black pipe requires knowledge of how to cut and tap the pipe and the ability to plan the routing of the pipe.

If you hire someone to use the yellow pipe, depending on obstacles it should take him no more than about two hours to run the pipe. Tapping the main may add an hour to it.

I would guess this will run you about $300. It seems high, even to me, but that's what labor costs these days.

Good luck. Don't do it on the cheap. Gas lines are important enough to get it done right.

Thanks for all of the replies.

I’m definitely NOT going to do this work myself.

I should have been more specific. I was actually asking to see what a fair price would be for the work.

marine86297...so the $15/LF is typically inclusive of parts, labor, etc?
