What a Gas Bayonet Point Is and Who Fits It
Only a licensed gasfitter can fit one, because the whole job is gas work under Queensland law.
A bayonet point is a socket plumbed into the gas line, fixed to a wall or set flush with paving. A barbecue or heater hose locks into it with a push and a twist.
Gas work covers installing, altering, servicing, testing and certifying a fuel system, its pipework and every connection on it. A new socket on that line sits squarely inside the definition.
Your gasfitter also picks where the point goes, working to the maker's instructions and the standards that apply so the hose reaches without stretching. When the install finishes, the compliance certificate confirming the work reaches you straight away.
Outdoor Gas Heaters and Carbon Monoxide
No, a portable outdoor heater never comes inside.
A heater that is faulty or used the wrong way can produce carbon monoxide in large amounts, and the gas is toxic. A closed veranda or a garage with the roller door down still counts as indoors, even on a cold night.
Get the heater serviced each year before winter, when the unit comes back out. A wall-mounted patio unit plumbed straight to the line is a different job: your gasfitter makes that join, because it is pipework.
Gas Supply for an Outdoor Kitchen
A licensed gasfitter connects an inbuilt barbecue to the gas supply as part of installing it, then tests every connection before leaving.
Smelled gas at an inbuilt barbecue has its own Queensland safety alert, and the order matters:
- Turn the gas off at the appliance first.
- Douse any naked flame.
- Keep phones, torches and cameras well away, because any spark is a risk.
- Lift the barbecue lid and open the cabinet doors to let air through.
If the smell will not clear, the Queensland Government steps take over: shut the supply at the bottle or the meter, then ring your gas supplier or book a licensed gasfitter. Call 000 if the smell still hangs on.
Indoor cooktop and oven installs have their own rules, and our gas cooktop installation page covers them. Suspected leaks sit with our gas leak repairs work.
What Decides the Price of an Outdoor Gas Point
Whether an existing line can feed the point, a supply check for the extra appliance, and access through the wall, floor or ground decide the price.
The supply check matters more than most people expect. Your gasfitter looks at the cylinder setup and its vaporisation rate, the meter and its capacity, and the pipe sizing, to confirm the line can carry one more appliance without starving the cooker indoors.
You get the exact figure in a fixed quote once we have seen the job, with flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees.
The 10-Year Stamp on a BBQ Gas Cylinder
A barbecue bottle needs a valid 10-year stamp before anyone will refill it, and refill stations check the date stamp every time. Most barbecue bottles hold 9 kg of LPG.
Storage rules for cylinders, spare or in use:
- Keep them in open air, away from heat and anything with a flame or spark.
- Stow spare bottles in a designated secure spot, secured in transit and out of the passenger compartment.
- Seal the valve whenever the bottle sits idle, even if it is empty.
- A rotten-egg smell means gas: never try to fix or take off a cylinder valve yourself; leave that to a licensed gasfitter.
After a storm or flood, call 000 if you smell gas. If water has reached your meter, regulator or bottles, tell the gas supplier about the damage before using anything.
Patios Built for the Barbie
Fitzgibbon's housing mostly went up after 2000, and the census counted 81.9 per cent of dwellings as separate houses. Families here average 2.5 people, and the covered patio is where most of the cooking happens from spring through autumn.
Cold snaps are rare, so the heater can sit idle for long stretches. A point fitted with its compliance certificate, plus a service before each winter, keeps the first cold barbecue of the season uneventful. The same goes for a place backing onto the flats near Holy Spirit College on Beams Road, where the creek air stays damp and fittings deserve a yearly look.

Gas Bayonet Questions From Fitzgibbon Homes
Call (07) 3523 6417Can I fit a gas bayonet point myself in Fitzgibbon?
No, fitting a socket and its pipework counts as gas work, so the job belongs to a licensed gasfitter. Sight the gas work licence before anyone starts. Work done outside that licence leaves you with no certificate and no compliant install.
Are gas bayonet points legal in Queensland?
Yes, bayonet points are lawful when a licensed gasfitter installs and certifies the work. The certificate lands with you as soon as the job finishes. The gasfitter also picks the position, guided by the appliance, its hose and the relevant standards.
How does an inbuilt gas barbecue get connected in Fitzgibbon?
A licensed gasfitter runs the connection to the supply, sets the barbecue in the way its manufacturer specifies and tests every joint before leaving. The installation is then certified as compliant. Nothing in that sequence is owner work, and no DIY shortcut covers it.
Can I bring my outdoor gas heater inside?
No, that kind of heater belongs in open air, because a faulty or misused unit can give off carbon monoxide in dangerous quantities, and the gas is toxic. Never run one indoors or in a semi-enclosed spot. Book a service each year before winter.
What does an outdoor gas point cost in Fitzgibbon?
Two things drive it most: whether your existing gas line can feed the new point, and the supply check for the extra appliance. The fixed quote then confirms the price once we have seen the job. Access and pipe runs fill in the rest.
