Q: Are there standard pipe sizes?

• <div><p>Yes. There are a variety of standard pipe sizes used in plumbing. The main supply line connecting your home to the street is either 3/4 or 1 inch in diameter. Supply lines are 3/4 inch in diameter. Individual components are 1/2 inch in diameter. Meanwhile, your main drainpipe is often 4 inches wide. Most shower and bathtub drains are 2 inches in diameter, most toilet drains are 3 inches in diameter, and most <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sink-drain-pipe-size.htm">sink drainpipes</a> are 1 1/4 or 1 &frac12; inches in diameter.</p></div>

Q: How close to the gas line can I dig?

• <div><p>Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homeowner-liable-damage-gas-line-contractor.htm">liable for hitting a gas line</a> in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.</p></div>

Q: Which types of gas pipes are more susceptible to leaks?

• <div><p>Any gas pipe can leak, especially if it&rsquo;s old or isn&rsquo;t properly maintained. However, even with a shovel, plastic pipes are more easily damaged by impact. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s so important to have gas lines marked by the utility company before you begin digging for any reason. Some metal pipes, like black pipes, galvanized steel, and copper, aren&rsquo;t as easily damaged by impact but can degrade over the years, leading to leaks. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to replace a gas valve?

• <div><p>Replacing a gas valve on a water heater will take a professional plumber between 1 and 1&frac12; hours. However, they may require extra time to diagnose the problem with your water heater, particularly since so many of the surrounding parts work together. Speak with your plumber before the job to confirm the pre-hour price and the approximate length of the job. </p></div>

Q: Can I install a gas grill myself?

• <div><p>You can maneuver your gas grill into place, but you cannot connect the grill to your gas source yourself. All municipalities mandate that a certified plumber carry out this work, so you&rsquo;ll have to reach out to a plumber or a gas grill installation company in your area. Given how dangerous a gas leak can be, gas lines and connections are highly regulated, so you&rsquo;ll need a professional&rsquo;s help and a permit to install a gas grill.</p></div>
