New gas line for new gas stove, need permit?

[quote=ryphoenix]I don’t know, but I just saw e-permits on the City of SD Development Services site. $107 not including inspection…not sure how much more that is. I THINK these are the ones I would need…

Plumbing Permit
Fee Type Qty Total Fee Description
Issuance NoPlans/Other 1 $38.00
Records-No Plan Permits/Other 1 $20.00
Travel-Doc-Replac/Remod/Add 1 $49.00[/quote]
Interesting… I was talking about your scenario with my husband (to confirm I’d represented thing correctly.) He’s an architect so he deals with building services more than most. He said for simple jobs it can be faxed. And he mentioned the new e-permits. He said they used to have “homeowners nights”, also. Which was after work hours (evening) and streamlined simple permits for homeowners doing their own simple jobs. He wasn’t sure if the program had been cut due to budget cuts, though.

A quick check of the city’s website shows the e-permit stuff.

Biggest issue with gas work is not the permit or the inspection, it’s the pressure test. You have to shut off all appliances, using shutoff valves located before the appliances, hook up the gauge to the line, leave it pressurized for 24 hours (with air!), and have the inspector verify. It’s a royal pain in the neck for the homeowner.

You may be able to talk the building department into doing the inspection without the pressure test.

Were it me, I would just do it without the permit.

Permit or no permit make sure it is installed and tested per code, preferably by a licensed, bonded, insured plumber. The liability and potential for San Bruno type excitement is just to great with gas sytems.

As stated before the intent of the code and the administrative authority, (City of San Diego?), requires an inspection before use. Section 1204.1 – 2007 CPC / UPC.

In low pressure residential gas piping,(under 1/2#psi),the code requires testing at a minimum of 10 minutes and maximum of 24 hours at 1-1/2 times the working pressure or minimum 3#psi. The reality is in most cases if everything is installed correctly and ready under test you will spend more time waiting for the inspector than the actual on site inspection. The inspector has the discretion, following the intent of the code, to determine the length of the inspection.

If you go the inspetion route make sure all of the related plumbing is up to code for obvious reasons.

Using the December 09 permit worksheet I calculate a total permit cost of $177.00 for the 1 gas outlet. Keep in mind if other plumbing work is involved the inspector may want documentation, which could mean additional permit fees. The fee schedule and permit apps are on line.

Wow thanks BC, you really know your stuff!

I just bought the house so I have no idea if other stuff are up to code, though most if not everything in this house seems to have been done by the code.

I think at this time I’m gonna skip the permit unless someone else convinces me otherwise.
