Fittings and Pipework

3.1

Solid drawn copper alloy or stainless steel tube with appropriate compression or screwed fittings is recommended for general use for pipework in LPG installations.

3.2

Aluminum or steel tubing, or any material having a low melting point, such as rubber or plastic, should not be used, except as permitted by paragraph 3.3.

3.3

Lengths of flexible piping (if required for flexible connections) should be kept as short as possible and be protected from inadvertent damage. Also, the piping should conform to an appropriate standard. Proposals for a more extensive use of flexible piping (which conforms to an internationally recognized standard for its application) should be submitted to the Administration via its Authorized Surveyor for approval on an individual basis.
