Abstract
The Code of Practice applies to all service pipe installations with a maximum operating pressure of up to 7 bar gauge which connect to a natural gas distribution main operated by a public gas transporter (PGT). Installations will vary in size and relative complexity from small diameter, owner-installed polyethylene services to large diameter steel services, installed by contractors. Services may operate at pressures up to 7 bar and cover a range of diameters and materials. Service pipe installation designers should give due consideration to the operating pressure and required gas flow when applying this ACOP.
