Sec. 2.
Delete Chapter 1 and insert to read as follows:
(a) 101.1 Title. This rule shall be known as
				the 2014 Indiana Fuel Gas Code, and shall be published, except incorporated
				documents, by the Department of Homeland Security for general distribution and
				use under that title. Wherever the term "this code" is used throughout this
				rule, it shall mean the 2014 Indiana Fuel Gas Code.
(b) 101.2 Scope and Application:
This code shall apply to the installation of fuel gas piping
				  systems, fuel gas utilization equipment, and related accessories as
				  follows:
1. Coverage of piping systems
				shall extend from the point of delivery to the connections with gas utilization
				equipment. (See "point of delivery".)
2. Systems with an operating pressure of one
				hundred twenty-five (125) pounds per square inch gauge (psig) (eight hundred
				sixty-two (862) kPa gauge) or less. Piping systems for gas-air mixtures within
				the flammable range with an operating pressure of ten (10) psig (sixty-nine
				(69) kPa gauge). LP-Gas piping systems with an operating pressure of twenty
				(20) psig (one hundred forty (140) kPa gauge) or less. For undiluted liquefied
				petroleum gas systems, the point of delivery shall be considered to be the
				outlet of the final pressure regulator, exclusive of the line gas regulators,
				in the system.
3. Piping systems
				requirements shall include design, materials, components, fabrication,
				assembly, installation, testing, inspection, operation, and
				maintenance.
4. Requirements for
				gas utilization equipment and related accessories shall include installation,
				combustion, and ventilation air and venting.
This code shall not apply to the following:
1. Portable LP-Gas equipment of all types
				that are not connected to a fixed fuel piping system.
2. Installation of farm equipment such as
				brooders, dehydrators, dryers, and irrigation equipment.
3. Raw material (feedstock) applications
				except for piping to special atmosphere generators.
4. Oxygen-fuel gas cutting and welding
				systems.
5. Industrial gas
				applications using gases, such as acetylene and acetylenic compounds, hydrogen,
				ammonia, carbon monoxide, oxygen, and nitrogen.
6. Petroleum refineries, pipeline compressor
				or pumping stations, loading terminals, compounding plants, refinery tank
				farms, and natural gas processing plants.
7. Integrated chemical plants or portions of
				such plants where flammable or combustible liquids or gases are produced by
				chemical reactions or used in chemical reactions.
8. LP-Gas installations at utility gas
				plants.
9. Liquefied natural gas
				(LNG) installations.
10. Fuel gas
				piping in power and atomic energy plants.
11. Proprietary items of equipment,
				apparatus, or instruments such as gas generating sets, compressors, and
				calorimeters.
12. LP-Gas equipment
				for vaporization, gas mixing, and gas manufacturing.
13. Temporary LP-Gas piping for buildings
				under construction or renovation that is not to become part of the permanent
				piping system.
14. Installation of
				LP-Gas systems for railroad switch heating.
15. Installation of LP-Gas and compressed
				natural gas (CNG) systems on vehicles.
16. Except as provided in Section 401.1.1,
				gas piping, meters, gas pressure regulators, and other appurtenances used by
				the serving gas supplier in the distribution of gas, other than undiluted
				LP-Gas.
17. Building design and
				construction, except as specified herein.
