I can route the gas line plumbing.

Puedo instalar ya sea un aparato eléctrico o uno a gas.
Puedo darle una dirección determinada a la plomería correspondiente a la línea de gas.

Of course, not. For both sentences you need to use "puedo" (subject of the sentence being tacit/implicit and it is "yo" from I can).

For the second one, you may make it more literal and shorter, but I don't find a way to make it sound as if it had been written directly in Spanish.

Hope it helps. Enjoy Sunday!

Puedo instalar la tubería del gas y los aparatos eléctricos o de gas.
