Which NFPA code pertains to propane storage and piping located outside the building, upstream of the final service pressure regulator?

  1. 54

  2. 58

  3. 70

  4. 70E

The correct answer is: 58

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) code that specifically addresses propane storage and piping located outside buildings is indeed NFPA 58. This code is dedicated to the storage and handling of liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), which includes propane, outlining the safety measures and regulations for gas storage, transportation, and use. NFPA 58 ensures that propane systems are designed and installed in a manner that minimizes risks associated with flammable gases, including proper storage techniques and maintenance of the systems to prevent leaks or accidents. This code is pertinent for both residential and commercial settings, providing guidelines for safe practices in the handling and distribution of propane. The other codes referenced do not deal specifically with propane storage and piping. NFPA 54 covers the installation of gas piping systems, NFPA 70 is focused on electrical safety and installations, and NFPA 70E pertains to electrical safety in the workplace. Therefore, these other codes are unrelated to the specific concerns of propane storage and piping outlined in NFPA 58.
