The National Fuel Gas Code is essential for designers, installers, AHJ's, and system maintainers responsible for ensuring fuel gas safety on consumers' premises. Revised to reflect current techniques and products available today, this edition also includes clarified text that eliminates confusion.

Changes and improvements impacting your work:

• New data helps you properly size longer installations. Dozens of pipe sizing tables have been extended with information for all piping up to 2,000 feet.
• A first-time requirement addresses support of rooftop piping to protect against wind damage.
• Other revisions make the Code consistent with the 2005 National Electrical Code® , the 2003 Uniform Plumbing Code™ and other related documents.

Install and operate gas systems for better public safety and consumer satisfaction.

Annexes provide "how-to" advice about sizing and capacities of gas piping, and sizing of venting systems serving appliances. You'll also find a suggested method of checking for leakage as well as suggested emergency procedures for gas leaks. More than 800 diagrams and graphics clarify concepts.

Take fuel gas hazards seriously and reduce risks. Work with the new basis for fuel gas safety nationwide and around the globe: the 2006 NFPA 54: National Fuel Gas Code. This is a joint publication by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Gas Association. It is designated both as NFPA 54 and ANSI/AGA Z223.1
