Patrolling of LP Gas System

 

 

 

An LP gas system must be patrolled where anticipated physical damage might occur on the system resulting in failure or leakage to that portion of the system.  Extreme weather conditions might cause conditions on systems that would require patrolling.

 

Frequency: When patrolling is required then the frequency of the patrol is as often as necessary, but no less than :

            Business district;  4 times each calendar year, not exceeding intervals of 4½ months.

            Outside business district;  2 times each calendar year, not exceeding intervals of 7½ months.
