Scope:

This Standard applies to fuel gas piping systems using corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST), intended for installation in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings, and including the following components as a minimum:

a) corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST);

b) fittings for connection to the CSST; and

c) striker plates to protect the installed CSST from puncture threats. Other components of piping systems covered by this Standard include gas manifolds, gas pressure regulators, manual gas valves, quick-disconnect devices, and gas convenience outlets.

Project need:

To update the current standard due to user feedback. This proposed New Edition is being developed at the request of the Technical Committee and Technical Subcommittee. It will provide the industry with installation instructions describing the requirements and procedures for supporting manifolds, clarification on tubing sizes needed for testing and updated Instructions for the direct (electrical) bonding of CSST piping systems.
