0450 963 633Gas Fitter in Kenmore, Brisbane
Kenmore sits on the western edge of suburban Brisbane, where larger detached homes give way to the acreage of Brookfield and Pullenvale. Big kitchens, outdoor entertaining areas and pools are common, and so is LPG, because many streets and acreage properties are a long way from a natural gas main. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, and provides licensed gas fitting for Kenmore and the surrounding western suburbs. Call 0450 963 633.
Setting up LPG properly
A home that runs hot water, cooking and perhaps a pool heater on LPG usually needs a pair of larger cylinders with an automatic changeover regulator, so the supply switches to the full bottle when one runs out. Cylinders must stand on a firm, level base with the right clearances from windows, doors, drains and ignition sources, including air conditioner outdoor units. On a large block, plan the position so the delivery truck can reach it without carrying bottles down steep paths.
Outdoor kitchens and alfresco areas
Built-in barbecues, side burners and patio heaters are popular in Kenmore. A fixed outdoor kitchen should be supplied through properly sized pipework to a dedicated bayonet or a hard connection, not a long hose from a cylinder. Enclosed or semi-enclosed alfresco areas also need enough ventilation for gas appliances, which is worth discussing before the roof and screens go up.

Bigger loads, bigger pipes
Adding a pool heater or a second continuous flow unit can push an existing gas line past what it was sized for. Before connecting more appliances, a gasfitter calculates the total load and the pipe run so every appliance gets enough gas at full output. Each finished installation or alteration comes with a gas system compliance certificate for the owner.
