Q: Can you cap a gas pipe with a compression fitting?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn't cap a gas pipe with a compression fitting because they aren't designed for gas lines and can pose serious safety risks. Gas pipes require threaded caps that create a secure, leak-proof seal capable of handling gas pressure. Using a compression fitting could lead to dangerous gas leaks&mdash;a hazard you definitely want to avoid. </p></div>

Q: Will the gas company connect my dryer?

• <div><p>Although a gas company supplies gas to homes, connecting gas appliances, like a dryer, is not their responsibility. The primary role of a gas company is to safely deliver gas to a property and maintain the gas supply lines up to a specific point, typically the gas meter or shut off valve. The task of installation is usually taken on by the homeowner or professional dryer installer. </p></div>

Q: How long do gas lines last?

• <div><p>Gas lines are built for longevity, so they can last up to 50 years when installed properly. However, normal wear and tear are possible, especially in moderate climates. Having a plumber or local gas company inspect your gas lines <b>every year</b> is best to ensure there are no hidden leaks or other dangerous problems. </p></div>

Q: Do gas companies relight pilot lights?

• <div><p>Most gas companies and utilities brokers will send a technician to relight a pilot light, but this may demand a service call fee. Contact your local gas company to inquire about available pilot light services. If it&rsquo;s a no-go, just follow the aforementioned steps and light the manual boiler&rsquo;s pilot light yourself. </p></div>

Q: What is the average cost to move a gas line?

• <div><p>The cost to move a gas line is around $500 on average or $20 per linear foot . A pro will carefully disconnect the existing gas line and reroute it to its new path. This may involve excavation if the line is underground or drywall work to repair your walls and ceilings. The project will finish with a pressure test to check for leaks and turning the gas line back on.</p></div>
