Competency E2: Install Gas Piping and Tubing Systems
As we saw in E-1 LT3 there are a broad range of materials that are approved for gas piping, tubing and hoses. Installation practices can include industry standards for some assembly techniques such as threading or brazing. In other cases, such as CSST there are manufactures installation instructions. Additionally, the CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code has minimum requirements regarding many aspects of the piping and tubing installation.
