ATTENTION
The installation of PRO-FLEX

Corrugated Stainless Steel
Tubing (CSST) must be performed by a qualified installer who
has been trained in the use of the Pro-Flex
®
system. The installer
must also meet all qualifications required by the state and/or
local administrative authority administering the provision of the
code where gas piping is installed.
This Installation/Training Guide provides the user with a general
guidance when designing and installing fuel gas piping systems
using
PRO-FLEX

CSST gas piping. This guideline must be
used in conjunction with all local building codes. Local
requirements will take precedence in the event there is a conflict
between the guideline and the local codes. The installation shall
be made in accordance with local codes, or, in the absence of
local codes, in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1& B149.2 in Canada, the International Fuel Gas
Code, the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, 24 DFR Part 3280, the Manufactured Housing
Construction and Safety Standards, ICC/ANSI 2.0, or the
Standard on Manufactured Housing, NFPA 501, as applicable.
Special attention must be given to the proper design, installation,
testing and use of the gas piping system. Sound engineering
principles and practices must be exercised, as well as diligent
adherence to the proper installation procedures. All installed
systems must pass customary installation inspections by the
administrative authority prior to being placed in service.
