Scottco Gas Ltd. provides professional, code-compliant commercial gas fitting services by deploying licensed Journeyman Gas Fitters directly to your business site. We specialize in custom-designing and installing high-capacity natural gas systems for small commercial kitchens throughout Calgary and all surrounding areas. Because we are a fully mobile service and operate without a physical retail storefront, we pass those operational savings directly to our clients through fair, upfront, and transparent pricing.
Running a busy commercial kitchen requires a high-volume, exceptionally stable energy source to keep your business safe, fast, and productive. Whether you are launching a new restaurant requiring high-capacity piping for heavy cooking equipment or updating an established local business, we handle every step, from precise pipe sizing and municipal permits to final safety pressure tests, ensuring full compliance with the Alberta Safety Codes Act.
Installing gas lines for small commercial kitchens requires detailed BTU calculations, exact pipe sizing, and the use of heavy-duty, commercial-grade materials. Standard residential gas setups cannot handle multiple commercial cooking appliances running at the same time, making professional engineering a safety requirement. A certified gas fitter must design the system to prevent hazardous gas pressure drops and equipment failure.
To guarantee a safe, uninterrupted flow of natural gas during your peak operating hours, our certified gas fitters run detailed assessments of your kitchen’s exact layout:
By collaborating directly with general contractors, kitchen designers, and business owners, we deliver seamless installations that keep your project on schedule and on budget.
We offer a complete suite of commercial gas fitting services tailored to restaurant owners, commercial property developers, and business managers. Our solutions range from initial line design and equipment hookups to complex multi-meter manifolds and high-pressure rooftop gas routing. Every service is fully customized to match the unique structural layout and power demands of your commercial property.
| Service Feature | Technical Specifications & Application | Core Business Benefit |
| Engineered Pipe Sizing | Custom header and branch sizing based on total cumulative BTU load. | Prevents pressure drops; keeps cooking equipment heating evenly. |
| Equipment Connections | Code-compliant emergency shut-offs, flexible connectors, and custom regulators. | Ensures maximum staff safety and fast emergency shut-down access. |
| Multi-Meter Layouts | Organized exterior manifolds with dedicated meters for shared buildings. | Simplifies utility billing and tracking for individual tenants. |
| Rooftop HVAC Lines | Weather-protected piping rated for $5\text{ to }10\text{ psi}$ operating pressures. | Delivers safe, reliable gas to makeup air and rooftop heating units. |
In addition to interior kitchen piping, we specialize in routing gas lines to rooftop HVAC and makeup air units. Because rooftop climate control equipment demands higher operating pressures, typically 5 to 10 psi , these lines must be specifically engineered to handle weather exposure and structural vibrations. Our certified team installs heavy-duty, weather-protected piping with the precise pressure regulators and isolation valves needed to keep your building comfortable and safe.

How Our Mission Supports the Safe Growth of Southern Alberta Businesses
Our mission is to support the growth and safety of local southern Alberta businesses by delivering flawlessly engineered, code-compliant gas lines. We believe that a commercial kitchen’s energy infrastructure is the heartbeat of its daily operations, and we treat every installation with the precision it deserves.
How Custom Planning Eliminates Gas Pressure Drop Risks Before We Install a Single Pipe
We do not believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Every commercial space has distinct pressure, layout, and ventilation demands. Our philosophy focuses on rigorous planning, utilizing precise BTU calculations and layout engineering before we ever lay a single foot of pipe. We specialize strictly in small commercial setups, allowing us to dedicate our full attention to the safety details that larger, industrial-scale outfits often overlook.
Why We Use Only High-Durability Materials to Build Systems That Last
We source our piping, valves, and gas regulators exclusively from top-tier, certified manufacturers. We use heavy-wall carbon steel and high-durability flexible gas connectors that meet or exceed the rigorous standards set by the Alberta Gas Codes. This guarantees that your gas network is built to last and remains resistant to the mechanical vibrations and high heat common in busy commercial kitchens.

Running Gas to Industrial Kitchens (which we address through small commercial system scaling) requires calculating cumulative BTU demand, selecting correct pipe diameters, and installing accessible safety shut-offs. Doing so prevents pressure drops and ensures your kitchen can operate at full capacity safely. To ensure a continuous gas supply, the line design must also factor in proper ventilation and commercial-grade makeup air flow to prevent negative air pressure in your building.
A licensed Journeyman gas fitter is required because commercial and large-capacity setups operate under complex load distributions that carry strict safety risks. Certified professionals have the advanced training required to calculate pressure needs and ensure your business meets provincial codes. Professional installation of a Gas line to Industrial Kitchen layout protects your business from costly municipal safety fines, guarantees a passed inspection, and satisfies commercial property insurance policies.
Yes, our team is fully licensed to install both interior low-pressure kitchen gas lines and high-pressure rooftop HVAC lines. We specialize in installing the weather-protected piping, heavy-duty regulators, and isolation valves required for rooftop heating and makeup air units operating at 5 to 10 psi pressures, securing all necessary permits for both systems.
Incorrect or undersized gas piping causes severe pressure drops when multiple high-draw appliances run simultaneously. This leads to inconsistent cooking temperatures, underheated food, or sudden automatic appliance safety shutdowns during your peak service hours. Properly sized piping ensures that every range, fryer, and oven receives a continuous, even flow of natural gas at the exact operating pressure specified by the manufacturer.
