House natural gas pipe

I do not have information about gas pipes or plumbing, but I already solved the same problem with a piping company R&Zplumbing, I think it would be useful for you.


Looking for one

One to trust to do it right/ professional

One that will do leak test

One that does not price gouge

Willing to and want to pay, just reasonable price.

When you're shopping for a reputable plumbing contractor,
(1) check for a current license, ...(2) you may want to ask

around in the fire dept. community, ...(3) ask for a current
insurance policy, ...(4) ask about their warranties, ...(5) ask
your homeowner's insurance agent, ...(6) before you sign any
agreement [ read - Contract ], read it over carefully, ...(7)
any Contract should have the starting and completion date,
no open ended Contracts !

IMO, ...if you can successfully find a few, or even one, Plumbing
Contractor to provide you with all of this information, credentials,
and other documents, then you will have at least tried to find
a reputable contractor that will stand by their work.......They
ARE out there, ...you just have to find them !........Shop around
a lot !

Well I think I found a good one with a reasonable price!!!!!


Finally

Thanks for all the helpful info
 
So I think I found a good plumber

Now besides extending the gas line,

I have to convert cabinets from cooktop to accommodate a freestanding range.

So being the diy who cannot cut a straight line, and don’t have the proper tools, I am going to try it anyway.

So my non plumbing question,,

I need to add cabinet panel sides, to enclose the cabinets.

Any suggestion on material to use???

It appears I can do zero clearance to the range, if the material can handle 200 degrees

Thanks

cda, ...you seem to be asking two different questions.
(1) What type of material to install on the sides of

your existing cabinetry, and (2) what type of material
to use that will endure at least 200 degrees, hopefully
without incurring combustion to your wood cabinets.

Most Residential grade ovens have some type of
thermal insulating material that reduces the thermal
heat transference properties.

IMO, ...if your existing cabinets are wood & you are
concerned about heat transference from your oven,
either increase an air space between the oven and
your wood cabinets, or have some type of insulating
material between your stove and the cabinets, or
both........Similar to the requirements of having high
temperature equipment \ appliances \ fireplaces
and their proximity to wood framing.

Layer 1 onto your cabinets: A birch type wood, or

other, to "reasonably match" your existing cabinetry.
Layer 2 on to the wood: A layer or layers of Mineral Wool.

Doesn't support combustion.

Layer 3 on to the Mineral Wool: Stainless Steel, for
durability and easier maintenance & cleaning.
