Gas Cooking Range Installation Manhattan
Your gas range installation covers everything from the initial assessment to the final safety check. Individual outlets to gas ranges require specific sizing—not less than 3/4 inches NPS—and we ensure your gas line meets these exact specifications.
Domestic ranges installed on combustible floors must be set on their own bases or legs and installed with clearances of not less than shown on the manufacturer’s label. In Flatiron District’s mix of historic and modern buildings, this attention to detail matters even more.
The installation includes proper sediment trap placement downstream of the appliance shutoff valve, positioned as close to the appliance inlet as practical. Every connection is pressure tested, and you’ll receive all necessary documentation for your building’s records—crucial for co-op and condo requirements in this neighborhood.
