1. FUEL REQUIREMENTS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following NG and LPG fuel information is provided to assist
the fuel installer. This information should not be deemed to be
all inclusive or to conflict with local dry fuel codes. Consult your
local fuel supplier or Fire Marshall for guidance on proper local
codes and installations. Local codes will mandate correct routing
of gaseous fuel line piping around gardens, shrubs and other
landscaping to prevent any damage.
Special considerations should be given when installing the
HSB where local conditions include might flooding, tornados,
hurricanes, earthquakes and unstable ground. These are
considerations for the flexibility and strength of piping and their
connections.
NG is lighter than air and will collect in high areas. LPG is heavier
than air and will settle in low areas.
