White paper: Assessment of 2 psig residential gas distribution systems. Topical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6898609
A survey is presented of technological and economic concerns related to moderate pressure gas installations using semirigid tubing. The installation costs for these systems are found to be substantially lower than those of conventional gas distribution systems. The report addresses the issues of safety (gas leaks and tubing penetration by nails), materials and labor costs, pressure regulation for residential appliances, advantages of moderate pressure as opposed to low pressure gas, and market potential for moderate pressure piping and appliances.
