What Is The Average Cost To Plumb Gas From The Water Heater To The Stove?
The gas water heater is located approx. 10 feet away from the stove. Anybody know what a ball park figure might be to have the line plumbed?

What size is the pipe going to your heater?
The size of the pipe feeding the heater might have to be replaced with a larger diameter pipe if you want to feed the stove as well.
You shouldn’t use a 3/4″ pipe to feed both your heater and your stove as it’s substandard.
The volume of gas won’t be sufficient.
Edit-
I’m in California,
and I’ve had to replace gas lines that weren’t large enough to handle the load.
All I’m saying is,
don’t put it in unless you’re sure it’s large enough to handle it.
Especially if you’re having it inspected,
or are planning to sell the house in the future,
because the buyers will surely have the house inspected,
and if the inspector sees substandard pipe sizing,
guess who has to pay for it to be upgraded so that the house can sell??

Is it natural gas or propane? There is really no way to ball park a figure. There a lot of different things that come into play. Distance of total piping, total btu load of the gas system, is it a standard 30″ range, or a Pro series like wolf or viking. Natural gas piping will be larger than what you would use for propane. You really need to have the system sized by your gas company and they can answer your price question.
Good Luck

where are you located.
Codes in your area differ from where i worked in the US i was in NYC local1 plumbers union for years.now what size is the pipe to the stove. if it is 3/4 inch you should be fine . job should cost no more than $200 if it is 1/2inch trouble need larger feed to do both water heater and stove rule of thumb is 1/2 inch to one appliance 3/4 inch to two and up lot depends on distance from supply to appliance too, pressure drops over distance. So there you have it.
