Romex touch gas line?

[John McKenna]

Does the IRC say anything about romex wires in
the attic touching a gas line?

[Brian E. Kelly]

Seems like a CMI question John.

Fine I'll dig through my IRC book. I do not remember anything specific though. Maybe something about professional installation or workman like manner.................

Gas in a gas line is generaly safe, it is when air gets added to the gas that the fun begins, or visa versa.

Thank you Paul for your help.

Since the answer is not addressed in the NEC or the IRC...
I was looking for something that was not exactly there.

Your story about someone being electrocuted by a romex
wire touching the metal gas line makes me want to
add an extra comment to help the Client understand
both sides of the matter.

Thanks... I'm always learning.
