Anybody have any rough ideas of what these sort of things might cost. In the western suburbs of melbourne if thats any help. Cheers Re: Plumbing costs 2Apr 27, 2009 10:33 pm The question youre asking is akin to asking how long is a piece of string. You need to give a more detailed description. If the tap and bayonet fitting are to be simply screwed onto existing capped off lines, then youre looking at not very much. Most plumbers charge by the hour. Kind of like some older professions. To convert a bbq from Lp to Natural Gas, its necesary to swap the injector nipples over and install a regulator on the appliance. Takes about 30mins. Does your BBQ have a Bayonet adaptor? More than likely it doesnt, if its been used for LPG. In that case. It might be best to use a flexible gas connector (called an Easy Hooker) and a gas ball valve on the gas line. Do you have the conversion kit? If you dont get hold of one, as it will save your plumber running around to get one. (he'll charge you for this) A bayonet fitting is about $25. A tap $15 up, depending on the tap. $75 per hour is an average hourly rate for most plumbers. Most will charge you a service call. Expect $35 to $70 as a service call. So Id say between $100 and $200 Ring a few plumbers and ask them what they charge.
