METER SETTING LOCATION
General
Consolidated Cooperative reserves the right to determine the location of the meter set assembly.
Fuel Gas Code
The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54) shall be followed. It is a national standard, and will be the basis for Consolidated Cooperative’s inspection, testing, and/or approval for house lines and appliances. (Qualified persons should be contacted to convert or change out any propane gas appliance to be used with Natural gas.)
Other codes, such as the International Fuel Gas Code, may be enforced by local building code inspectors, and adherence to them for those inspectors may be required. The more stringent code must always be followed. When in doubt, contact Consolidated Cooperative and the Authority having jurisdiction to clarify before proceeding with the work.
