The Gaseous Fuel System

warning

Propane and Natural Gas are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

LP gas is heavier than air and will settle in low areas.

Natural gas is lighter than air and will collect in high areas.

The slightest spark can ignite these fuels and cause an explosion.

DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

The information provided below is to assist gaseous fuel system technicians in planning installations. In no way should this information be interpreted to conflict with applicable fuel gas codes. Consult with your local fuel supplier or Fire Marshall if questions or problems arise.

TO THE INSTALLER: Consult with the home generator owner(s) and convey any technical considerations that might affect their installation plans before applying these general guidelines.

The following general rules apply to gaseous fuel system piping:

The piping should be of a material that conforms to federal and local codes, rigidly mounted and protected against vibration.

Piping should be protected from physical damage where it passes through flower beds, shrub beds, and other cultivated areas where damage could occur.
