Natural Gas/Propane Fuel Piping

Select approved pipe type in accordance with applicable code (e.g., NFPA 54/ANSI/AGA Z223.1)

Install gas piping capable of supporting the total connected load of all appliances in accordance with applicable code (e.g., NFPA 54/ANSI/AGA Z223.1)

Locate/route gas piping/train so as to not create a trip hazard, not be damaged by water, and to create the least pressure drop possible

Support gas piping in compliance with applicable code (e.g., NFPA 54/ANSI/AGA Z223.1)

All piping installations must contain at a minimum a manual gas shut off valve, union joint, and a sediment trap at each appliance

If installed, vent all gas pressure regulators requiring venting to outside the building with code approved rigid pipe

Terminate pipe in a safe location without any thread, coupling, fitting, etc. that would allow a plug to be easily fitted

Seal all gas piping in accordance with manufacturer specifications

Install a secondary LP safety detector system (e.g., valve, exhaust fan, alarm light) for propane piping installed below grade

If a gas pressure booster is necessary, confirm compatibility with the gas-fired equipment and check low and high gas pressure switches for proper operation
