The Gaseous Fuel System

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.
• 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.
TO THE INSTALLER: Consult with the residential
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.
WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
