from a remote supply tank, installation must be in accordance
with local codes or, in absence of local codes, with the
National fuel Gas codes ANSI Z223/1.NFPA 54.
Can/CSA B149.1 Natural Gasaand Propane Installation Code.
If constructing an enclosure to conceal the propane / LP cylin-
der- the enclosure
must adhere
to the following construction
requirements:
Enclosures may be constructed with one side completely
open
OR
if the enclosure is built with four (4) sides, a top
and a bottom:
•
A Propane / LP gas cylinder enclosure requires four
(4) ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the
enclosure. The openings must adhere to the mini-
mum requirements according to the capacity of the
cylinder (see Diagram 1).
•
Each opening in the enclosure must be equally sized
and spaced at a minimum of 180
°.
Openings must
remain unobstructed.
•
Top ventilation openings are required on the side
walls of the enclosure within 5" (127mm) of the top
of the enclosure. They need to be of equal size,
unobstructed and spaced 180
°
apart. The openings
need to be a total area of 1 in
²
/lb (14.2 cm
²
/kg) of
fuel storage capacity.
•
Bottom opening must provide a minimum of 1/2
square inches (3.23 cm²) for each pound of pro-
pane/LP contained in the tank (see example be-
low).
•
Every opening must have minimum dimensions to
allow entrance of a 1/8" (3.2mm) diameter rod.
• Ventilation openings in side walls must not communi-
cate directly with other enclosures of the appliance.
•
The cylinder valve must be easily accessible by hand.
Connections should be easy to leak test inside the
enclosure. A door on the enclosure is acceptable
only if easily opened without the use of tools and is
non locking.
•
The enclosure needs to isolate the cylinder from the
burner compartment and provide protection from ra-
diation, act as a flame barrier and protect the cylinder
from foreign material.
•
The enclosure needs to allow connection, disconnec-
tion and inspection of the connection of the LP - gas
cylinder.
•
The enclosure should allow testing of any connec-
tion on the LP cylinder that might be disturbed during
installation.
