248 CMR 8.05
Modifications to Chapter 6, Installation of LP-gas Systems
(1) This code does not adopt sub-section 6.1.1*(2) and (3).
(2) This code does not adopt sub-sections 6.2 to 6.7.10.
(3) This code adopts sub-section 6.8 to the extent it applies to second stage regulators, however
it does not adopt those portions applying to first-stage or two-stage regulators.
(4) This code does not adopt sub-sections 6.10 to 6.13.
(5) Delete sub-section 6.15 and replace it with the following:
6.15: Installation in Areas of Heavy Snowfall. Piping, regulators, meters, and other equipment
installed in the piping system, when exposed to the elements, must be protected from damage
from accumulated snow by either following manufacturer's installation instructions when specific
to such issues or, when no such instruction is provided, by otherwise reinforcing and/or
sheltering any exposed equipment. However, should the performance of gas-fitting work impact
the structural integrity of building or roofing components, necessary corrective work falls outside
the scope of this code. See 780 CMR: The Massachusetts State Building Code or
271 CMR: The Massachusetts Sheet Metal Code, if applicable, for licensing and other
requirements for said work.
