This document is not
Petroleum Gas (LPG) network due to the differences in properties and behaviour between LPG
and natural gas. Information provided in this document relates only to installation of AGA’s
infrastructure and does not relate to installation of other utility services. Where a combination
gas / electrical meter box is to be utilised, the relevant electrical authority’s requirements must
also be met.
New developments typically have buildings that occupy a larger portion of the block and there
are an increasing number of developments located in elevated positions. The changing designs
of these developments can compromise standard gas meter box locations. AGA wishes to
avoid delays by providing information to the industry at design stage, eliminating costly
alterations and variations during construction.
This Handbook outlines the installation procedures to streamline processes and help avoid
delays or additional work and costs being incurred by the requestor.
This Handbook must be considered a “live” document and is therefore subject to change.
The Feedback Form, (refer to Appendix D), can be used to provide improvement suggestions,
relating to this document, to AGA.
