Re: Natural gas pipe in residential garage
1) The bumpers on his SUV are higher than that.
2) Are you suggesting that copper and steel don't work well with each other? :shock:

"With a little additional material above the gas pipe, that would be a great place to store all my fishing rods!" I think theres room below the pipe for a couple tackel boxes too!
First time I've seen that!

C'mon you guys don't get excited, it's just a ballet bar for very short people.

High Desert - Thanks for the clarification - I thought it was the grab bar for the accessible restroom they are going to put into the garage (without permit) after final inspection passes.

Mule - for those IAPMO types, UMC 308.1 covers protection against damage... IMC 303.4 also covers this for the I-code types.

Re: Natural gas pipe in residential garage
Personally, I don't think that gas line would fall under "Protection against damage" per
308.1 because it's not an "Appliance". It doesn't appear to me to be subject to mechanical damage unless you hit it with your car...then the whole wall would be subject to mechanical damage anyway......JMHO. The hangers, on the other hand.... :roll:

Yey for Beach! It's an iron pipe. Hit it with a car, go ahead and then go buy a new front end for the car.

Assuming this is a side wall--It is over a curb so not subject to damage, should also be protected by being behind the wall beside the door.
End wall it is in bumper height range and needs protection.

Re: Natural gas pipe in residential garage
The only thing I see wrong with it is possibly the penetration needs sealed as it enters the garage/house wall. As far as the hangers are concerned, there is no requirement to use a listed bracket, unless MSS SP 58 states something of the sort (G2418.2).
By the way, does anyone here have a copy of the MSS SP 58 to reference hangers and supports (Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry)? It might be interesting to see what it says about supporting gas piping.
