Based on scores of proposals from Code users like you, it presents designers, installers, AHJs, maintainers, and inspectors of fuel gas systems in buildings with state-of-the-art criteria for the installation and operation of gas piping systems, appliances, equipment, and related accessories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Changes in the 2009 edition that improve fuel gas safety include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>New bonding requirement<\/strong> for corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) gas piping installed inside buildings protects against threats likely to energize gas piping.<\/li>\n<li>Addition of a new system of connecting copper tubing using a crimping tool for <strong>press-connect fittings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>New rule for a dedicated <strong>master shutoff valve for laboratories<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Revised requirements for connectors to <strong>radiant tube heaters<\/strong> prevent cracks, leaks, or fractures.<\/li>\n<li>Additional requirements for <strong>commercial cooking appliance connectors<\/strong> will reduce the risk of fugitive gas, potential fires, and subsequent losses.<\/li>\n<li>Revised requirements for <strong>sidewall vent termination<\/strong> ensure reliability and prevent nuisance shutoffs.<\/li>\n<li>New requirements that all <strong>heating boilers<\/strong> have a low water cutoff switch to prevent boiler failure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Annexes provide valuable advice on sizing and capacities of gas piping, and sizing of venting systems serving appliances&#8230;checking for leakage\u2026and emergency procedures for gas leaks. More than 100 graphics visually clarify concepts so you can correctly apply Code requirements. A new Annex provides a detailed list of all changes from the 2006 edition, with the reason for the changes. Take fuel gas hazards seriously and mitigate risks.
