Can a new gas line be run through a ceiling from one side of kitchen to another
Position to move gas stove

You should consult your gas company on this installation. Usually they don't want gas lines running through ceilings.

Check with your local code enforcement office but I know of no restriction that prevents a gas line being in a ceiling.

Whittly:

If you are running black steel pipe and black malleable fittings and you test the new installation according to the codes in your area I am sure there is no restriction to running gas in a ceiling between joists! Make sure no unions are installed in the ceiling is all... ;) .

If you are working with copper pipe and flare fittings, etc.. then may have issue here and definitely will need to talk to a local inspector regarding this!

Like TWINKIE and HKSTROUD suggested... never a bad idea to check with local codes enforcement in your area (or next town over if not pulling permits... :( ).

BE CAREFUL....and remember to test your work! And don't forget to install the ANTI-TIP DEVICE on the stove once installation is completed. This device saves lives!!

Any more questions... let me know... MARK
