Is it safe to leave a gas pipe with a quick-connect fitting or should I have it capped?
Anonymous user 14/10/2025 - 9:55 AM
I'm having a kitchen installed by a company and they're using their own gas fitters. We're planning to switch permanently to electric. I asked if the gas pipe needs to be capped and they said no because it's already on a self-sealing bayonet fitting. They mentioned that no certificate is needed since no actual gas work was done and the fitting seals itself. They checked for leaks and said everything seems fine with the pipe and fitting. Does this sound right? Is it safe? As a landlord, am I covered?

You are correct
There is a specific section of the code that is prohibits using quick connect system for indoor residential.
6.11.3 : A quick-disconnect device shall not be used to connect appliances indoors in a residential building.
Even though Now that you have switched to electric stove .its required by the code to have that line properly capped. Or you can eliminate it from the source where its branching off .

All gas lines should be removed to a certain point. All gas lines should be capped completely. Also a licensed gas person should be doing the job just to be on the safe side
