Planning an Outdoor Entertainment Zone: Plumbing, Gas, and HVAC Considerations

A licensed gas fitter must install a dedicated gas line from your home's gas supply to your outdoor appliance. This ensures the line is correctly sized, buried at the proper depth, and tested for leaks. This is a much safer and more convenient option than using propane tanks. call 604-343-1985 for a free estimate.

Yes, any plumbing work for your outdoor kitchen, including installing a sink or ice maker, must be done by a licensed plumber. This ensures the work meets all BC Plumbing Code requirements, is properly connected to your home's water supply and drainage systems, and is protected from freezing.

To prevent freezing, outdoor water lines should be installed with a shut-off valve inside the house, allowing you to drain the lines before winter. Heat tracing is another option for protecting pipes in colder areas. A professional plumber can design a system that is easy to winterize and protects your investment.
