How do I install a gas range in a tile countertop?

Answer by  case (1261)

I recommend since you are dealing with gas to have a professional come help move the gas lines to where you need them. After you have the gas lines moved you will need a special saw blade to cut the title and then you should be able to use a jigsaw to cut the remainder of the counter top.

Its just as simple as any other counter top. Just use the template provided with the Range to make a pattern, then cut out the pattern with an appropriate tool. A router would do just fine. If you don't have a router then remove the tile within the pattern and use a saw.

First make a template of the range and then sketch it on top of the countertop with a little margin so you can drop the range in the opening. Next cut an opening on the counter and finish the rough edges of the tile so the range will fit inside.

Call gas company representative and mason. Get all necessary required permissions to prevent any damage. Arrange for gas supply / pipe line. Fix the range in presence of gas company representative.

Well first you cut the whole for the range. Then drop the range down into the hole an bolt it in. The attach the gas line and check for leaks.

Unless you are confident in your skills in this field, it is best to have the gas company install the gas pipes to the area you want them.

You first need to cut a space the size of the range that you are installing. Make sure there is nothing underneath that is flammable, then connect the cords and you should be all set
