SERVICE LINE LOCATION
Kansas Gas Service prefers that new service lines extend
from the natural gas main to the meter set in a straight line
that is perpendicular to the street. For large
commercial/industrial customers, the service location can be
installed in a mutually agreed upon location.
PLUMBING REQUIRMENTS
A pipe out is a natural gas line coming out of the home above
ground and is required by code. Testing of customer piping
shall conform to state and city requirements for gas piping
inspection, testing and purging. The length of time and test
pressure shall meet local, city and/or state requirements
(some differ from city to city).
*If the individual requesting a service line on page 1, is the same individual requesting a meter set/turn on, a turn on order
will be generated after the service line has been installed and city inspection of the houseline, if required, has been
completed.
