New gas line for new gas stove, need permit?

I’ve had this done before, ryphoenix, as well as a “trench inspection.” What typically happens that that your licensed plumber will perform the test in front of the SDGE inspector after any necessary work is completed. Their appts will be made to show up simultaneously. The SDGE inspector will sign off on the spot if they are satisfied.

In the City of San Diego – SDG&E’s hands on reposnibility typically stops at the meter / regulator assembly. Everything downstream is the reponsiblity of the property owner. There are exceptions.

The project you describe requires no participation from SDG&E. If you pull a permit the inspection will be performed by an individual from the building services dept, mechanical / plumbing.

Ideally if a full pressure test is performed all gas valves will be removed and capped as well as the SDG&E connection.

In reality a plumber may ‘sign off’ on the new kitchen line without a permit or pressure test. Depending on the age, condition and legality of the existing gas system – a simple soap test, visual inspection and use of a gas sniffer may be sufficent to the plumber.

With that said, while it is not necessary for proper installation and problem free service, a complete system pressure test in conjunction with a permit is the correct and legal way.

Wow how do you know so much on this topic BC?

I think I’ll skip the full inspection thing and get SDGE to do a safety check afterwards. I’m feeling secure enough with that approach. Thanks everyone for the input!
