LP-Gas systems use either Department of Transportation (DOT) cylinders or ASME tanks and are intended to be installed in accordance with the Liquied Petroleum Gas Code, NFPA/ANSI 58. Low pressure exible hose connectors used in natural gas systems are intended

23、 to be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1. Pigtails and exible hose connectors are used to make connection between parts of equipment or between equipment and service piping. 1.2 These requirements also cover hose without end-connection ttings that is used t
