No — in Weaverville, running your own gas line to a fire pit isn't legal; North Carolina makes gas piping licensed work. With Reems Creek filling in with new construction, the smartest move is often to have the outdoor line planned during the build — but whether it's a new home or an older downtown one, the connection is ours to make, permit, and pressure-test.
Plan it with the build
Weaverville is growing fast, and Reems Creek especially is full of new builds. If you're in one, the best time to run a fire-pit line is while the ground's already open and the gas is being set — roughing it in then beats trenching a finished, landscaped yard later. We coordinate that with your build; it's still licensed gas work, connected and tested by us, not the general contractor.
Older downtown, same rules
Downtown Weaverville's older homes sit on natural-gas mains too, so a fire pit there usually tees off existing service. That original masonry chimney isn't part of the equation — the outdoor line is its own properly sized, properly buried run. North-facing and slow to warm in spring, this is a town that gets real use out of an outdoor fire well past when the lower valleys have moved indoors.
