Gas Line Requirements
! The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. Consult your local gas supplier or
propane gas dealer for code regulations and recommended procedures.
! The torch and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures less
than 1/2 psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shut-off valve.
! Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the torch.
