Bayonet Points
A bayonet point on the alfresco wall or the deck gives the BBQ a clean, safe connection, and we fit them where the line reaches without crossing a window opening.

Gas Work Across Newport
At the last census, 93.6 per cent of homes here were separate houses, and many carry gas cooktops, heaters or BBQ points that need a licensed hand sooner or later.
What Makes Gas Work Different on the Waterways
Salt air gets at the outside fittings first
Homes along the waterways take damp, salt-laden air off the tidal canals in every season, and meter boxes, bayonet points and copper clips out in that weather corrode well ahead of anything tucked inside a wall.
The ground is wet and acidic
Council maps the acid sulfate soils across nearly the whole estate in the lowest elevation band, so a trench for a new gas line fills with groundwater and seepage, and we sleeve and route buried copper accordingly.
The older stage carries old connections
The first canal homes date from the late 1970s onward, so their original gas appliances have mostly been swapped once already, and the connections from those swaps are now the ones that weep.
What We Do on the Gas Side
Gas work in this canal estate covers four regular jobs, and we carry the parts for all of them: points on walls, appliances on lines, repairs underground and the paperwork at the end.
Appliance Connections
We connect and commission gas cooktops, ovens, heaters and water heaters, checking every new joint for leaks before the appliance lights and again once it has run hot under load.
Gas Line Repairs
A weeping joint or a corroded copper section gets cut out and replaced, and then the whole gas line gets a pressure test before any gas appliance goes back on the line.
Testing and Compliance
Every gas job ends the same way: the gas line is pressure-tested, the appliances are checked for safe combustion, and the work is recorded under our licence number for your records.

Common Gas Faults on This Run
Four faults turn up again and again on gas calls around the estate:
Corroded Outdoor Fittings
Copper pipe clips and meter fittings out in the salt air pit and go green long before they fail indoors, so we look at outside fittings first on any gas fault call.
Weeping Joints
A faint gas smell that comes and goes with the wind traces back to a thread or flare fitting that has loosened with age, and tightening or resealing usually fixes it.
Yellow or Weak Flames
Burners burning yellow instead of blue point to poor combustion, a blocked jet or a regulator past its best, and checking the flame colour at every service catches it early enough.
Old Regulators and Hoses
Regulators and hoses age with the appliance, and those feeding an older heater or BBQ on a canal-side deck are usually the first to give out, so check the gas leaks page.
Why Proper Gas Work Matters
Gas work is the part of plumbing where the test at the end matters more than the fitting in the middle, and three things about it deserve spelling out before you book:
Only a licence touches a gas line
Queensland law puts every step of gas work behind a licensed gasfitter. A handyman can legally change a tap washer, but not a single flare fitting on a BBQ point.
Bad combustion is invisible until it is not
A poorly commissioned burner or a failing regulator can shift a flame from safe to yellow and sooty. Checking flame colour and ventilation at install takes minutes and prevents the lot.
Compliance follows the house
Licensed, recorded gas work is what an inspector, a buyer or a renovator asks to see. A paper trail from each visit is what we leave you with.

Gas Fitting Questions From the Estate
Call (07) 3067 4289Can I fit a BBQ bayonet point myself?
No, a DIY bayonet cannot be legally signed off in Queensland, because all gasfitting must be carried out by a licensed gasfitter, and we fit them under QBCC No: 15024607 with a pressure test.
Does canal-side salt air around Newport shorten the life of my gas fittings?
Yes, salt carried on the canal air settles on outside fittings year-round, and copper clips, bayonets and meter fittings here pit and go green far sooner than inland suburbs see.
Does the wet, acidic ground change how you bury a gas line in Newport?
Yes, council rates almost every street here in its lowest acid sulfate class, so a trench for gas pipe fills with groundwater and tidal seepage, and we sleeve buried copper to cope.
Do you connect new gas appliances as well as repair them?
We do both: cooktops, ovens, room heaters and hot water units go on the line with a full leak check and commissioning, and the same licence covers repairs when older units play up.
Does the tide affect when you can dig for a gas line in Newport?
It can, since the low-lying blocks that the council maps as medium and high storm tide zones lie near the water, we schedule digs with the tide in mind.
