Work with the new basis for
fuel gas safety: the 2006 NFPA 54!
The NFPA 54:
National Fuel Gas Code is the field's most reliable source
for general safety criteria for the installation and operation of
fuel gas piping systems, appliances, equipment, and related
accessories.
Fully up-to-date with current techniques and products,
the 2006 edition contains important changes and improvements that
increase fire protection and reduce the risk of explosions.
Examples of how the 2006 NFPA 54
promotes public and fire safety include:
- 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.
- Revised requirements for appliance shutoff
valves allow manifold systems with all shutoff valves in one
location up to 50 feet from the most remote appliance.
- Definitions are organized by categories so
you can find what you need fast.
- Chapters dealing with piping, installation,
and venting are grouped together for ease of use.
- Other revisions make the Code consistent
with the 2005 National Electrical Code®, the 2006
Uniform Plumbing Code™ and other related documents.
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.
