What our customer has to say
A bayonet point is the connection your gas heater plugs into
It is the recessed outlet in the wall or floor that a portable gas heater connects to with a bayonet hose. Push, twist, and the appliance is connected.
The convenience is the point. The heater can be disconnected and stored over summer without a gas fitter being involved each time.
Where the point goes matters as much as the point itself
Position determines whether the installation is straightforward or awkward to live with. A point in the wrong place means the hose runs across a walkway, or the heater sits where nobody wants it.
It also determines cost, because the length and route of the gas run is most of the job.
What we work through before installing:
- Where the heater will actually sit, and how the hose will run to it
- The route from the existing gas line, and how far it has to travel
- Whether the existing supply can carry the additional appliance load
- Clearances from power points, furnishings and walkways
- Wall or floor mounting, and what the construction of the house allows

Why the gas run is most of the job
The bayonet fitting itself is a small component. What takes the time is getting gas to it safely and neatly, sized correctly for the appliance it will feed.
A point two metres from an existing line is a very different job to one on the far side of the house, and that is why quoting over the phone is guesswork. We look at the route first.
Connolly homeowners choose Sureflow because the process is straightforward:
- Your booking and arrival window is confirmed
- The issue is accessed onsite and we explain what is found
- A clear quote, where possible, is provided before starting the repair
- We complete the work neatly and test everything before we leave
Adding an appliance means checking the whole system can carry it
Every gas appliance draws from the same supply. Adding a heater to a house that already runs a cooktop and gas hot water increases the demand on that line.
If the supply cannot carry the total load, appliances underperform. A heater that never quite gets there, or a hot water unit that drops off when the heater runs, usually traces back to exactly this.
What we check before adding a point:
- Total demand of every appliance on the system, including the new one
- Whether the existing pipe size can carry that load to the far end
- Supply pressure at the meter and along the run
- Condition of existing connections that will now work harder
- Ventilation in the room the appliance will run in
We repair the issue at its source and check whether anything else nearby is worth monitoring while we are there. Where relevant, we also carry out a complimentary whole-house plumbing inspection so you have a clearer picture of your plumbing overall.

Frequently asked questions about gas bayonet installation
Clear answers to the questions homeowners ask most, so you can understand what to expect, how issues are handled, and when to take the next step with confidence.
What is a gas bayonet point?
It is the recessed gas outlet in a wall or floor that a portable gas heater connects to using a bayonet hose.
The connection pushes in and twists to lock, so the heater can be disconnected and stored away over summer without needing a gas fitter each time.
Do you cover Connolly?
Yes. Connolly is part of our regular service area and we work there and across the surrounding suburbs.
Call 0400 838 622 and we will book a time to look at the job.
How much does a bayonet point cost to install?
It depends almost entirely on how far the point sits from the existing gas line and what the route involves.
A short run in an accessible wall is straightforward. A long run, or one crossing under a slab or through finished areas, takes more work. That is why we look at it before quoting rather than giving a number over the phone that changes on arrival.
How long does the installation take?
A straightforward point close to the existing line is usually a few hours.
Longer runs or more difficult access take longer. We will tell you what to expect when we quote so you can plan around it.
Where should the point go?
Somewhere the heater can sit where you actually want it, with the hose running clear of walkways and furniture.
It is worth deciding where the heater will live before we install, because moving the point afterwards means a second job. We will walk through the options with you onsite.
Wall or floor: which is better?
Both work. Wall points are more common and easier to reach behind furniture; floor points suit rooms where a wall run is difficult or the heater sits away from the wall.
What the house allows often decides it, particularly on a slab. We will tell you which is practical in your case.
Can you add a point if my gas line is on the other side of the house?
Yes. It becomes a longer gas run rather than an impossible job.
The route, the pipe size needed, and whether the supply can carry the extra load all get assessed first. Call 0400 838 622 and we will take a look.
Will I know the price before you start?
Yes. We assess the job onsite and provide a quote before work begins wherever possible.
Our quotes are final wherever they can be, and we do not upsell work your home does not need.
Can I install a bayonet point myself?
No. Gas work in WA must be carried out by a licensed gas fitter.
That is not a formality. An incorrectly installed or untested gas connection is a genuine safety risk, and it can affect insurance if something goes wrong.
Will adding a heater affect my other gas appliances?
It can, if the existing supply cannot carry the additional load.
Every appliance draws from the same line. Adding a heater to a house already running a cooktop and gas hot water increases total demand, and if the pipe size or pressure cannot support it, everything underperforms. We check that before installing rather than after.
My gas heater never seems to get properly hot. Why?
Usually supply rather than the heater itself. If the gas line cannot deliver enough at the point, the appliance cannot produce its rated output.
Undersized pipework, a long run, or too many appliances on one line are the common causes. It is testable, and it is fixable.
Do you supply the bayonet hose as well?
We can, or we can install to a hose you already have.
Call 0400 838 622 and tell us what heater you are connecting, and we will confirm what is needed.
Can you install more than one point?
Yes. Multiple points in different rooms is common, particularly in larger homes.
The main consideration is whether the supply can carry the combined load if more than one appliance runs at once. We assess that as part of the quote.
Do you test the system after installing?
Always. The system is pressure tested after any gas work and must hold before gas is restored.
The new point is also checked under load with the appliance connected, so you know it works before we leave.
Can you cap off or remove an old bayonet point?
Yes. An unused bayonet point can be capped off safely and correctly, or removed entirely if you are renovating.
An old point that is no longer used should not simply be left and forgotten. Call 0400 838 622 and we will sort it.
Do you install for rental properties?
Yes. We install bayonet points at rental and strata properties across Connolly and the northern suburbs.
Call 0400 838 622 and we will let you know what we can do and how approvals are best handled for your situation.

The standards behind every Sureflow visit
Plumbing is easier to deal with when you know exactly what’s happening.
Each visit is structured around practical assessment, straightforward advice, and work that suits the condition of the system in front of us. These standards help keep repairs predictable, decisions informed, and homes protected as issues are resolved.
Clear explanations before work begins
Understanding what has changed within the plumbing system makes decisions easier to make. The issue is explained first, along with the available options. This removes uncertainty before any repair is carried out.
Practical advice on what needs priority
Some faults require immediate attention, while others can be planned over time. Advice is provided in a way that helps repairs happen in the right order. That structure reduces pressure when unexpected problems appear. We focus on getting it fixed properly, not just quickly.
Recommendations based on what’s actually there
Every property is different, and repairs should reflect what is actually present on-site. Solutions are shaped by the condition of existing pipework and fixtures. This helps avoid unnecessary replacement work.
Care taken while working inside the home
Plumbing repairs take place in lived-in spaces, not empty work zones. Attention to surrounding areas helps keep disruption to a minimum. The condition of the home remains part of the job.
Early notice of future potential issues
Some plumbing issues develop gradually rather than all at once. Where relevant, potential future concerns are identified during the visit. This allows maintenance decisions to happen earlier and with more clarity.
Support when timing and urgency matters
Unexpected plumbing problems can escalate quickly without early assessment. Prompt guidance helps stabilise the situation before further damage develops. This keeps urgent issues more manageable across Perth northern homes.
