Default Re: Gas meter clearances

Hi. Calvin;

NFPA 54 5.7 states that gas meters shall be located readily accessible for examination, reading, replacement, or necessary maintenance.

Also, gas meters shall be located at least 3 feet from sources of ignition.

Not sure what other codes would apply to this, but I would check with your local gas Company regulations for this one.

Hope this helps.

Marcel

Thanks Marcel. I found the 3 ft. requirement as well.
When in doubt...report it right?
