Question
Does Section 6.1.A.5 include natural gas piping from the house side of the meter to all gas appliances?
Response
Yes. Section 6.1.A.5 stipulates: The inspector shall inspect the fuel storage and fuel distribution systems. The distribution systems include all readily accessible systems and components used for the storage and delivery of fuel, including meters and piping that is upstream from storage devices and meters, but that is on and serving the subject property. This would also include connectors and shut off valves, although the operation of shut off valves is exempted by section 10.2.A.5. In addition, section 6.1.B.3 requires that the inspector describe the location of main fuel shut-off valves.
