Natural gas grill - location of shutoff?

[MikeC]

Exterior natural gas grill with quick-disconnect device on 1/2' pipe out the side of the house 3 to 4 inches. Per 2009 IRC G2420.5 and subsequent sections, where does the shut off valve need to be? Outside the house? Inside the house at the T fitting - could be conidered a manifold?

I was almost ready to require a sediment trap, but I did figure out that it isn't required for outdoor grills.

If the piping is ONLY for the grill we allow a remote shut off valve at the tank (propane). It must be permanently labeled and a dedicated gas branch. Otherwise it needs to be outside before the quick disconnect. (readily accessible) within 6' of the grill.

I would agree with Daddy-O- and no" sediment trap" required.A drip leg would be for wet gas.

California plumbing code doesn't require a shut-off valve in the case that you have cited. We didn't adopt the IRC plumbing sections, so my answer may not mean anything to you.

G2420.5 (409.5) Appliance shutoff valve.

Each appliance shall be provided with a shutoff valve in accordance with :Next('./icod_irc_2012_24_sec018_par008.htm')'>Section G2420.5.1, :Next('./icod_irc_2012_24_sec018_par009.htm')'>G2420.5.2 or :Next('./icod_irc_2012_24_sec018_par010.htm')'>G2420.5.3.

G2420.5.1 (409.5.1) Located within same room.

The shutoff valve shall be located in the same room as the appliance. The shutoff valve shall be within 6 feet (1829 mm) of the appliance, and shall be installed upstream of the union, connector or quick disconnect device it serves. Such shutoff valves shall be provided with access. Appliance shutoff valves located in the firebox of a fireplace shall be installed in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s instructions.

Quote; Daddy-0- ... it needs to be outside before the quick disconnect. (readily accessible) within 6' of the grill.

Inside the house at the T fitting - could be conidered a manifold?

G2420.5.3 (409.5.3) Located at manifold.

Where the appliance shutoff valve is installed at a manifold, such shutoff valve shall be located within 50 feet (15 240 mm) of the appliance served and shall be readily accessible and permanently identified. The piping from the manifold to within 6 feet (1829 mm) of the appliance shall be designed, sized and installed in accordance with :Next('./icod_irc_2009_24_sec012.htm')'>Sections G2412 through :Next('./icod_irc_2009_24_sec019.htm')'>G2419.

IMHO No. Aside from commercial installations, generally manifolds in residential dwellings are installed with CSST that are premanufactuered assemblies.

I agree with Daddy-O and Francis, even though it is apparently natural gas and not propane.
