Gas Lines for Generators

Are you planning to install a generator to power up your home in case of a power outage? If so, you will need a licensed and insured plumber to run a new gas line to fuel the generator. Knowing the basics of generator gas line installation is important to ensure safety and proper functioning.

A generator gas line installation involves choosing the right size of gas line. A gas line that is too small will limit the amount of fuel going to the generator, while a line that is too large adds unnecessary cost and can cause operational issues from excessive pressure. The size of the gas line is determined by the generator’s fuel requirements and the distance between it and the natural gas meter. Superior Plumbing & Gas Company are licensed professionals and we can determine the right size of the line needed for you project.
