What Is Outdoor Fireplace Gas Line Installation?

Outdoor fireplace gas line installation is a dedicated gas piping system that safely delivers fuel from your home’s gas supply to an outdoor fireplace or outdoor-rated gas insert, typically including:

  • Running a properly sized gas line from the meter or main manifold to the outdoor fireplace location

  • Installing shutoff valves in accessible, code-compliant positions

  • Using buried or protected outdoor-rated piping to survive weather, soil, and movement

  • Providing an appropriate connection point for the fireplace valve, burner, or log set

  • Pressure testing and leak checking the new line before operation

Done right, you get the look and warmth of a real fire without wood storage, ash cleanup, or juggling propane cylinders.

Why Choose Active Plumbing

  • Outdoor living space experience: We frequently install gas lines for outdoor fireplaces, fire features, and full outdoor living areas.


  • BTU- and distance-based sizing: We size lines for the higher BTU demands and longer runs that outdoor fireplaces often require.


  • Code-compliant outdoor routing: We use approved buried or exposed materials, respecting clearances, supports, and shutoff requirements.


  • Coordination with your builder/landscaper: We work with masons, contractors, and designers so gas lines integrate cleanly with structures and finishes.


  • Total system perspective: We ensure your outdoor fireplace gas line is designed so it doesn’t starve indoor appliances or future outdoor features.

Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)

  1. Decide what type you’re using: masonry fireplace with gas log set, prefab outdoor gas fireplace, or wall-mounted/fireplace insert unit.

  2. Gather any spec sheets, manuals, or BTU ratings for the fireplace or burner kit (or send us product links/photos).

  3. Mark where the fireplace will sit relative to the house, patio, structures, and seating areas.

  4. Note all existing gas appliances in your home (furnace, water heater, range, dryer, grill, pool heater, interior fireplace, etc.).

  5. Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask for outdoor fireplace gas line installation; share your layout and equipment details so we can plan the gas line correctly.

Outdoor fireplace gas work is not a DIY project—incorrect design or installation can create serious leak, fire, and carbon monoxide hazards. Always use licensed professionals.

Common Situations Where an Outdoor Fireplace Gas Line Makes Sense

  • You’re building a new patio, pergola, or covered outdoor living area with a central fireplace.

  • You’re upgrading from a wood-burning outdoor fireplace to gas logs or a gas insert.

  • You already have an outdoor-rated gas insert or fireplace kit and need a professional gas connection.

  • You’re redoing landscaping and want a clean, built-in outdoor fireplace or feature wall.

  • You’re planning several outdoor gas features—fireplace, grill, fire pit, heaters—and want a coordinated, safe gas design.

Our Outdoor Fireplace Gas Line Installation Process (Step-by-Step)

Gas System & Site Evaluation

We inspect your gas meter, main piping, and existing gas appliances, then review your yard or patio layout and fireplace location to determine practical, safe routing options for the gas line.

BTU Load Calculation & Line Sizing

Using your fireplace’s BTU rating and expected use, we calculate total gas demand (indoor + outdoor) and determine the pipe size and pressure needed for a strong, consistent flame.

Routing & Design with Clear Estimate

We design a code-compliant route—buried, along walls, or through structures as needed—balancing safety, protection, and aesthetics, then provide a clear, itemized estimate for gas piping, shutoffs, and connections.

Gas Line Installation & Shutoff Setup

With your approval, we shut off gas safely, install the new outdoor gas line using approved materials and supports, and place appropriately located shutoff valves near the fireplace or access points for safety and service.

Pressure Testing, Leak Checks & Fireplace Connection

We pressure test the new line and thoroughly check all joints for leaks; if your fireplace or log set is on site, we connect it with the proper fittings and verify all gas connections are secure.

Final Fire Test & Homeowner Orientation

We restore gas, test-fire the outdoor fireplace to confirm flame quality and operation, then show you where the shutoffs are, how to operate the system safely, and what signs indicate you should call for service.

What’s Included

A typical outdoor fireplace gas line installation may include:

  • Evaluation of your existing gas system and outdoor fireplace plans

  • BTU-based sizing and routing design for the outdoor fireplace gas line

  • Installation of buried or protected gas piping and accessible shutoff valves

  • Pressure testing and leak checking of the new gas run

  • Connection and test-firing of the outdoor fireplace or log set (when equipment is present)

  • Basic safety, operation, and maintenance guidance for your new outdoor fireplace gas system

(Exact scope depends on distance from the house, fireplace type, and project complexity.)

Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)

The cost and timing of outdoor fireplace gas line installation depend on:

  • Distance and routing from your gas source to the fireplace location

  • Whether piping must be buried under soil, pavers, or concrete, or run along structures

  • The BTU rating of your outdoor fireplace and any additional outdoor gas loads

  • Whether existing gas piping must be upsized or reconfigured to support the extra demand

  • Site conditions, such as walls, grade changes, hardscape, or landscaping obstacles

We’ll provide a clear, itemized estimate covering:

  • Labor and material costs

  • Any optional future stubs (for a future fire pit, BBQ, or heaters)

  • Expected project duration and any needed coordination with your builder or landscaper

Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)

Outdoor fireplace gas line work sometimes requires more than a simple tee:

  • Larger fireplaces often have high BTU demands, requiring larger pipe sizes and careful planning.

  • Long outdoor runs need correct materials, burial depth, and protection against damage and corrosion.

  • Your existing gas system may be near capacity, meaning some piping or meter upgrades may be advisable or required.

  • Mixing wood-burning structures and gas burners demands proper clearances, venting, and component compatibility.

  • DIY or non-code work can jeopardize safety, permits, warranties, and insurance coverage.

If we find that your system needs upstream upgrades or design changes, we’ll explain exactly what and why before moving ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you convert my existing outdoor wood fireplace to gas?

Often yes, with an appropriate gas log set, burner, and gas line—provided the structure and clearances are suitable. We’ll inspect and let you know what’s possible and safe.

Do I need to buy the fireplace or log set before the gas line is installed?

It’s best to have the model and BTU rating, but if you’re still deciding, we can design the gas line based on expected BTU ranges and finalize connection details when your equipment arrives.

Can you run gas lines for other outdoor features at the same time?

Usually yes—and it’s often more efficient to plan for BBQs, fire pits, or heaters while we’re already running gas to the outdoor area.


Will you repair pavers, concrete, or landscaping after trenching?

We’ll review access and routing with you before work starts. Some final hardscape or landscape restoration may be handled by your landscaper or contractor, depending on the project.

What if I smell gas around my outdoor fireplace?

Treat it seriously: turn off the fireplace and gas shutoff if safe, avoid sparks or flames, and contact your gas utility or emergency services if the smell is strong. Once safe, call us to inspect, test, and repair.
