What a Gas Bayonet Point Is and Who Fits It
A gas bayonet point, set into a wall or a floor, is a fixed socket on the gas line that a hose from a portable heater or barbecue locks into. Only a licensed gasfitter may install one, because fitting a socket and its pipework counts as gas work in Queensland.
The gasfitter also chooses the position, suiting the point to the appliance and its hose under the maker's instructions and the standards that apply. A gas system compliance certificate reaches you on completion, confirming a compliant installation. Always sight the gasfitter's licence before any drilling starts.
Where a Portable Outdoor Heater Can Be Used
No, a portable patio heater runs outdoors only, never indoors or in a semi-enclosed space.
A heater used wrongly or left faulty can release large amounts of carbon monoxide, a toxic gas, so the rule holds for verandahs and covered entertaining areas with poor airflow. Book the heater in for a service before each winter so the burner and controls head into the cold months in good order.
A heater fixed onto the gas line gets connected by a licensed gasfitter, because fixing a unit to the line means installing pipework. Wherever the gas meets the house, the trade side stays licensed.
Gas Supply for an Outdoor Kitchen
A licensed gasfitter connects an inbuilt BBQ to the gas supply as part of installing it to the maker's instructions, then tests every joint before leaving. Your outdoor kitchen gets the same certified work as any indoor appliance, and indoor cooktops and ovens sit over on the cooktop installation page.
Smell gas at the bench? The Queensland safety alert sets the order:
- Shut the gas to the appliance off.
- Put out any open flame.
- Leave ignition sources alone: phones, cameras and torches stay well back.
- Ventilate: swing the barbecue lid and every cabinet door open.
If the smell stays, turn the supply off at the bottle or meter, then contact your supplier or book a gasfitter. Dial 000 if it holds on.
Why Bayonet Installation Quotes Differ
Two things drive the price: whether a line already on the property can feed the new point, and whether the meter or bottle setup has capacity for the extra appliance.
Access does its part as well, since a run through a wall, under the floor or under ground takes longer than one along an open patio. A fixed quote sets the final figure once we have inspected the site.
Fresh builds keep joining the district, too: approvals for 83 new dwellings came through at area level over the five years to the last count. A build is the moment to plan an outdoor gas point, with the walls open and the pipe runs short. Plenty of owners here on acreage face long runs from the meter or bottle to the patio either way.
Storing and Securing a BBQ Gas Cylinder
A portable bottle for a barbecue usually holds 9 kg of LPG, and refills depend on a current ten-year test stamp: filling stations check the date on every cylinder they fill.
The storage rules sit alongside it:
- Use and store bottles in a well-ventilated spot, clear of excess heat and anything that could ignite.
- Keep spare bottles in a set secure location, out of the weather.
- Seal the valve whenever a bottle stands idle, empty ones included.
- Carry bottles secured in transit, never inside the cabin.
Watch for a rotten-egg odour, and never repair or remove a cylinder valve yourself. After a storm or flood, ring 000 if gas is in the air, and report damaged meters, regulators or bottles to the gas supplier.

Questions Wamuran Locals Ask About Bayonets
Call (07) 3523 7172Can I install a gas bayonet point myself in Wamuran?
No, a bayonet socket and its pipework are licensed tradesman's work, not a DIY job. Always sight the gasfitter's licence before they start, and check it covers this class of job.
Are gas bayonet points legal in Queensland?
Yes, a bayonet point installed by a licensed gasfitter and certified on completion is lawful gas work in Queensland. The certificate you receive at handover records a compliant installation.
Can a gas bayonet point leak?
Yes, like any fitting, hose or regulator on a gas line. Turn the supply off, stop using the system, then call your supplier or a gasfitter. Our gas leak repairs page covers how leaks get traced and fixed.
Can I use my outdoor patio heater inside?
No, a portable outdoor heater used indoors or in a semi-enclosed space can give off carbon monoxide in large amounts. Run it outdoors only, and book it in for a service before each winter.
How much does gas bayonet installation in Wamuran cost?
Two things drive the price: whether a line already on the property can feed the new point, and whether the existing supply can take the extra load. A fixed quote after we inspect locks the figure.
