gasfitter
Fuel line technician
A gasfitter is a tradesperson who installs and repairs gas pipes and fixtures in buildings.
The work includes connecting gas lines to appliances like stoves, furnaces, and water heaters: We called a gasfitter to hook up the new range.
In many jurisdictions, gasfitters require specific licensing separate from general plumbing credentials.
