Natural gas piping systems are in use in virtually every commercial building. Natural gas is used for comfort heating, cooking, laundry, water heaters, fireplaces, even decorative lighting and fire pits. The proper design and installation of natural gas systems is essential for not only the efficient operation of appliances but also the safety and health of building occupants. This course will take an in-depth look at a number of considerations that must be addressed before design can begin including: Knowing the applicable codes, Knowing the requirements of the natural gas utility supplier, Venting requirements, Pipe identification and labeling requirements, Pipe support requirements, Gas meter clearances for windows, air intakes and electrical equipment, and Sizing methods to use Selection of piping material.

Note: This is a live webinar delivered via WebEx. Session instructions will be emailed to you 24-48 hours prior to the webinar and the morning of the webinar. If you have not received your instructions for any reason please call client support the day of the event.
