Fully revised, the 2009 NFPA 54:
National Fuel Gas Code facilitates safer installations and
better protection against fire and explosion hazards.
Up-to-date with current techniques, products,
materials, and construction practices, the 2009 National Fuel
Gas Code provides a more effective means of ensuring fuel
gas safety on consumers' premises.
Based on scores of proposals from Code users
like you, it presents designers, installers, AHJs, maintainers, and
inspectors with state-of-the-art criteria for the installation and
operation of gas piping systems, appliances, equipment, and related
accessories.
Changes in the 2009 edition that
improve fuel gas safety include:
- New bonding requirement
for corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) installed inside
buildings protects against threats likely to energize gas piping.
- Addition of a new system of connecting
copper tubing using a crimping tool for press-connect
fittings
- New rule for a dedicated master
shutoff valve for laboratories
- Revised requirements for radiant
tube heaters prevent cracks, leaks, or fractures.
- New section adds minimum code coverage for
permanently fixed outdoor open flame decorative
appliances.
- Additional requirements for
commercial cooking appliance connectors will reduce the
risk of fugitive gas, potential fires, and subsequent losses.
- Termination of vents in a side wall
revised to ensure reliability and prevent nuisance shutoffs.
- New language for vent termination
in screened porches reduce possible dangers from harmful
combustion products and potential fire hazards.
Annexes provide valuable advice on sizing and
capacities of gas piping, and sizing of venting systems serving
appliances...checking for leakage…and emergency procedures for gas
leaks.
More than 100 graphics visually clarify
concepts so you can avoid mistakes. Take fuel gas hazards seriously
and mitigate risks. Stay up-to-code with the 2009 NFPA 54!
