What Do Gas Fitters Do?
A gas fitter isn’t just a plumber who connects your gas to your appliances. While this is a local gas fitter’s bread and butter, they perform a wide range of jobs to ensure that the gas connected to your home can be used safely and efficiently.
Gas can be dangerous and fatal if not handled correctly. That’s why it is illegal to have anyone who isn’t properly licensed to work on gas powered systems or appliances.
Some of the few things local Wollongong gas fitters are expected to do include:
Gas Connections
If you are talking about a new build or a conversion, then a gas fitter will be expected to be able to read plans. This includes the marking out of gas lines and getting the measurements right.
Our fully qualified and trained gas fitters read specifications such as the correct piping, pressures, and connections and adhere to the recommendations of the manufacturers of whichever brand of gas system that they are installing. It doesn’t matter if they are residential, commercial, or industrial installations.
Ensure Your Gas System is Operating Safely
When installing gas fuelled hot water systems, a gas fitter will have to know the correct settings for the gas/ oxygen mixture, otherwise there will be an imbalance that will affect the efficiency of the system and can lead to the escaping or build-up of unused gas, which can be dangerous.
Any professional gas fitter will of course, test any system for efficiency and leaks before pronouncing it ready and safe for use.
Residential Gas Installations
All gasfitters will be able to fit gas appliances in a wide range of different settings. A gas fitter specialising in gas installation, repair, and maintenance will be able to safely fit gas appliances such as stoves or ovens, for residential or commercial use.
Basically, all kinds of hot water systems or recreational installations such as BBQs, any type of marine craft and caravans, and other types of vehicles.

What is gas fitting?
This is a good question and one we get a lot. Gas fitting is the service, repair, maintenance or installation of gas systems and appliances in your home.
If you have a gas hot water heater or you use a gas stove or oven, you may need a gas fitter at some point. If you’re having problems with your gas or you want to replace them, one of our gas fitters can do the job for you.
What is a bayonet gas fitting?
A bayonet gas fitting is attached to a fixed wall and allows easy and safe connection between gas supply and gas appliances. At O’Brien Plumbing North Wollongong, we can help repair, replace and install new bayonet gas fittings.
When do I need a gas fitter?
If you suspect a gas leak anywhere in your home, it’s critical that you evacuate and call an emergency gas fitter right away.
Gas leaks can be quite dangerous and are a problem you need to take care of immediately. You should also call a gas fitter if you aren’t getting as much hot water as you need, if you want to install new gas lines or gas appliances, or anytime you suspect an issue with your gas system.
Can plumbers do gas fitting?
We offer both plumbing and gas fitting services, but not all plumbers can do gas fitting. It requires additional training and licensing because working on gas can be dangerous.
When you choose a gas fitter, be sure you ask about qualifications and licensure so that you’re sure you’re getting someone trained to do the job. Our gas fitters fit the bill and can help with any gas related task you need taken care of.
Are gas appliances safe?
It’s safe to use gas in your home, provided you follow a few safety steps. You should have carbon monoxide detectors placed on each level of your home, which helps detect a leak.
You should have your gas system inspected by one of our professional gas fitters at least once per year. Make sure your home is adequately ventilated and that you pay attention to any issues that might need to be checked out.
