AGA & ICC to Develop New International Fuel Gas Code
August 1997
The American Gas Association (A.G.A.) and the International
Code Council (ICC) have agreed to develop a new International
Fuel Gas Code that will be available in early 1998. The partnership
will ensure the development of an up-to-date code for the installation
of gas equipment, appliances, piping and venting.
When the code is adopted, all references to gas installation
in other ICC codes, such as the International Mechanical Code
and the International Plumbing Code, will be replaced with a
reference to the International Fuel Gas Code. It is estimated
that the new code will be used in about 2/3 of the U.S., with
a good chance of being adopted in other countries.
