(b) In Table 2, select the vertical coluum showing that distance, or next longer distance if the table does not "ive: the exact length. (c) Use the vertical'column'so selected to locate all g..s demand figures for this particular system of gas piping. h 1230 Office of the Board of Supervisors August 16th, 1951 - Cont'd Kingman, Arizona (d) Starting at the most remote outlet, find in the vertical column so selected, the gas demand for that outlet. If the exact figure of demand is not shown, choose the next larger i figure below in the same column. (e) Opposite this demand figure, in the first column at the left in Table 2, will be found the correct size of pipe required to serve such outlet. (f) For each succeeding section of pipe determine the total gas demand supplied by such section and then proceed in the manner outlined above to determine the size of each section of pipe. (2) To determine the size of the yard line: (a) Measure the length of yard line from the point of delivery to the building supply inlet. (b). In Table 2 select the vertical colum showing that distance, or the next longer dis- tance if the table does not give the exact length. (c) In this vertical column select the figures corresponding to the demand figure of the house pining. If the exact figure of demand is not shown, choose the next larger figure below in the same column. (d) Opposite this demand on the same line will be found the minimum size of pipe allowabl . At no time shall the yard line be smaller in diameter than the house supply inlet. (3) For conditions other than those covered by Table 2, such as longer runs of piping, greater gas demands or pressures at the point of delivery higher than 11 inches or lower than 7 inches of water column pressure, the size of piping required may be calculated by means of standard engineering methods, in a manner satisfactory to both the Inspector and the gas Company.

The house piping serves a 30- gallon storage water heater, a gas refrigerator, a domestic gas range and a 135,000 B.T.U. heating plant. The appliances in the order named are located at outlets A, B, C and D, with the gas storage.water heater being connected to outlet A, sixty (60) feet from the point where the pipe enters the building. The distance from the building to the property line (length of yard line) is seventy (70) feet. Solution: Maximum gas demand of outlet A - 30 cubic feet per hour (from Table 1). Ahxdmum gas demand of outlet B - 3 cubic feet per hour (from Table 1). Mud.mum gas demand of outlet C - 50 cubic feet per hour (from Table 1). MLxdmvn gas demand of outlet D - 135 cubic feet per hour (135,000 B.T.U. per hour) The length of house piping to the most remote outlet (outlet A) is 60 feet. Using column marked 60' in Table 2. Outlet A, supplying 30 CFH, requires 1/2" pipe (due to water heater connection being 1/2 "). Section 1, supplying outlet A, or 30 CFH, requires 1/2" pipe. Outlet B, supplying 3 CFH, requires 1/2" pine (minimum size permitted). Section 2, supplying outlets A and B, or 33 CFH, requires 1/2" pipe. Outlet C. supplying 50 CFH, requires 3/4" Pipe (due to range connection being 3/4 "). Section 3, supplying outlets A, B. and C. or 83 Mi. requires 3/4" pi Outlet D, supplying 135 CFH, requires 1 pipe (minimum size permittedT Section 4, supplying outlets A, B, C, and D, or 218 CFH, requires 1-1/4" Pipe. The maximum demand of outlets A, B, C, and D, is 218 DFH. The length of the yard line is seventy (70) feet. Using the column marked seventy (70) -feet in Table 2: The yard line required is one and one - quarter (1 -1/4) inch. (Note - if the yard line had been shorter, such as fifty (50) feet in length, Table 2 would have shown a nominal size of one (1) inch. A one and one - quarter (1 -1/4) inch size, however, would be required, because Section 4 of the house piping in the preceding illustration is one and one- quarter (1 -1/4) inch and a reduction in size is not permissible. (T) Notwithstanding provisions in.this section to the contrary, consumer's piping and /or appliances installed prior to the adoption of this ordinance may be converted to use natural gas, if the Inspector finds, upon inspection and proper test, that such piping and/or appliances will render reasonably satisfactory gas service to the consumer and will not in any way endanger life or property; otherwise such'piping shall be altered or replaced, in whole or in part, to conform with the requirements of this section. SECTION I I LEAKS A Leaks in house piping and appliances shall be located by applying soapy water to the exterior of the pipsn� or fitting. (B) Fire or acid shall not be used to locate leaks in house piping or appliances nor shall water be introduced into the house piping. (C) House piping or fittings, when found to be defective, shall be promptly removed and replaced with sound material; repair of such piping and fittings is prohibited. (D) 'No gas fitter's cement, sealing wax or similar materials shall be used to stop leaks or to otherwise repair any consumer's piping. SECTION INTERCONI�CTION OF GAS PIPING SYSTEMS A It shall be unlawful to connect any gas appliance in such a manner that such appliance may receive gas from more than one point of dalive�y` (B) The installation, use and/or maintenance of a gas valve which makes it possible to turn on, control or otherwise direct the flow of gas from one system of gas piping to another, where such systems are supplied with gas from separate meters, is prohibited. SECTION 15. &TER LOCATIONS (A) A meter location shall be provided for the building or premises to be served, and the location shall be such that the mater connectinns n.rw wwai.ly - -d +. + J231 Office of the Board of Supervisors August 16th, 1951 - Cont'd Kingman, Arizona heating appliance. No meter shall be placed in any other location where it will be inaccessible or be liable to Injury. 1bter location, dimensions, and type of installation shall be designated by the Gas Company, consistent- ly with this ordinance. (B) 4lhera more than one (l) mater is set for certain promises, they shall all be set at one location, except where impractical. In multiple meter installations, each separate gas piping system shall be plainly identified with a metal tag at the meter location. SECTION 16. SALE OF APPLIANCES All gas appliances hereafter sold, offered for, sale, or installed within the limits of the County of Mohave shall be of a design and construction approved as to safety, efficiency, and disability by the American Gas Association, Inc. Laboratories, or a similar nationally recognizes testing agency, and such appliances, except ranges, shall bear information showing the rated heat input in B.T.U. per hour. All gas appliances here- after sold or offered for sale shall be in sa.fe.operating condition. SECTION 17. APPLIANCE _IIISTALLATIONS (GENEULLY) A Appliances shall be adequately supported, arul so connected to the piping as not to exert undue strain on the connection. (B) Appliances shall be installed so that their continuous operation will not create a fire hazard to persons or property. (C) No appliance shall be installed where facilities for ventilation do not permit the proper combus- tion of the gas (see Section 20 - Ventilation).
