  • The 2012 NFPA 54: National Fuel Gas Code provides new, industry-accepted guidance for the safe installation and operation of gas piping systems, appliances, equipment, and accessories. New indoor gas piping purging rules address recommendations by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) specifying mandatory use of combustible gas indicators and detectors. Other major changes include added overpressure protection for 2 psi (14 kPa) regulators.
  • NFPA®'s exclusive new full-color National Fuel Gas Code Handbook explains technical Code rules and fuel gas safety concepts in detail, providing commentary and insights from industry experts that answer questions on the spot. The Handbook provides the complete 2012 NFPA 54 text for reference, including vertical rules on additions and bullets on deletions, just like in the Code; full-color photos and 2-color charts and other visuals; FAQs; and more. Seven in-depth supplements include an informative new supplement on gas piping purging.
