2018 International Fuel Gas Code, Loose Leaf
Stay up-to-date when designing and installing fuel gas systems with this code!
Construction Book Express presents the loose leaf version of the 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) from the International Code Council (ICC) and the American Gas Association (AGA)!
Use this loose leaf code when you need to design and install fuel gas systems and gas fire appliances. By having this code you ensure that meet all of the necessary requirements.
There are many key changes made to this 2018 version from the 2015 version. These include:
- Arc-resistant Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST) products are now featured in their own section
- Schedule 10 steel pipe is now allowed to be used
- Schedule 10 steel pipe joints can now be assembled with press-connect fillings
- Schedule 10 steel pipe cannot be threaded according to this code.
- Appliance shut off valves behind movable appliances must now have provided access
- And many more changes!
