Every appliance on one plan

We check each appliance's fuel and gas demand against your supply, including a side burner, pizza oven or patio heater you might add later, and put the connections and shutoffs where you can still reach them after the cabinets are built. A grill switching between propane and natural gas needs the manufacturer's conversion kit, so send the model before you buy or convert.

Timed with your build

The line may run through a foundation, deck or hardscape. Your quote shows the route and openings and who handles locates, trenching, electrical and restoration, so your contractor knows what to leave open. The gas work is tested and connected by a technician with more than a decade in the trade, and it carries a Platinum Gas workmanship warranty.

The easiest time to run a gas line is while the outdoor kitchen is still a drawing, before stone and decking go down. Platinum Gas is based in Bowmanville and installs BBQ and outdoor kitchen lines across Clarington, Oshawa, Whitby, Port Hope and Cobourg, with evening and weekend appointments available. Send your grill's make and model, a photo of your gas meter or propane tank, and a sketch of the layout.

Permanent BBQ connections

Connect a compatible BBQ to your gas supply.

We install the line and connection for a grill approved for your natural gas or propane supply. The chosen location must provide the clearances and access required by its manufacturer.

Send the model number and a photo showing the grill's position on the patio or deck. We review the route and shutoff location before quoting the connection and startup work.

Built-in outdoor kitchens

Supply the grill, side burner and other gas appliances.

An outdoor kitchen's gas plan needs the complete appliance list, connection positions and cabinet details. Each appliance contributes to the demand on the supply.

We review the layout before stone or counters close access, including shutoffs, ventilation and space for service. The quote identifies gas work and the openings, sleeves, trenching or electrical preparation assigned to other contractors.

Grill replacements and relocations

Check the connection before changing your grill.

A replacement BBQ can have a different fuel requirement, gas input or connection arrangement. Moving it can also change the route and available clearances.

We assess the new model against the existing supply and explain which parts of the installation can remain. Fuel conversion is considered only when the manufacturer approves it for the exact appliance.

How BBQ gas-line installation works


  1. Send the grill and layout details

    Include every gas appliance model, the intended fuel, final locations and site photos. Share drawings and construction timing for a built-in kitchen.


  2. Confirm the route and preparation

    We assess the supply and appliance demand, quote the gas work and agree on the access, locates, excavation or cabinet openings required before installation.


  3. Install, connect and check

    We complete the agreed piping and appliance connections, perform the included tests and startup checks, then explain the shutoff, service access and manufacturer care requirements.

BBQ and outdoor kitchen questions

Answers about choosing the grill, converting fuel, planning construction and maintaining a permanent outdoor gas connection.

Should I choose the BBQ before having the gas line installed?

Choose the model, or narrow the options enough to confirm their fuel and rated gas demand. Include side burners and other gas appliances in the plan. The supply, connection and required clearances need to match the equipment that will actually be installed.

Can a gas line be added after the outdoor kitchen is finished?

It may be possible, but stone, cabinetry, decking and landscaping can restrict the route or require openings. Contact us before those finishes are installed when possible. If the kitchen is complete, send photos of the appliance position and accessible areas so we can discuss assessment and access.

Who handles trenching, sleeves and cabinet openings?

Your quote identifies who completes each task. The project may need utility and private-line locates, excavation, sleeves, cabinet openings and finish restoration in addition to the gas work. Confirm those responsibilities with your landscape or kitchen contractor before construction.

Can my propane BBQ be converted to natural gas?

Only if the manufacturer approves a conversion for the exact model and the required provisions are available. Many grills are sold for one fuel configuration. Send the full model number before buying conversion parts or arranging a new connection.

What affects a BBQ or outdoor kitchen gas-line quote?

The appliance demand, number of connections, available supply, line distance and access affect the gas work. Underground routes and built-in cabinetry can add preparation. Construction of the kitchen, electrical work and restoration are included only if listed in the quote.

What care does a permanent BBQ connection need?

Follow the appliance manufacturer's cleaning, inspection and seasonal-storage instructions. Keep cabinet ventilation and access to shutoffs clear, and arrange qualified service for damaged connections or unusual operation. Have a replacement grill checked against the existing fuel and supply. Arrange utility and private-line locates before digging near buried piping.
