When you need a Gas Line permit
Running a new gas line or extending an existing gas line requires a Wisconsin gas piping permit under SPS 323 from the Village of Bristol via InspectWiz. A pressure test is required before the line is concealed. WI requires DSPS-credentialed mechanical contractors for gas piping. Replacing a gas appliance connector (flexible line to a stove, dryer, etc.) with an approved connector and shutoff valve does not require a permit.
