Before a piping installation is accepted for operation, what must be done?

Before a piping installation can be accepted for operation, it is essential that it is inspected and tested. This ensures that the installation meets all safety standards and regulatory requirements. The inspection process involves a thorough evaluation of the piping system to identify any potential issues, such as leaks or weaknesses in the setup. Testing often includes pressure testing or leak testing to confirm that the system can safely handle the required pressure and that there are no leaks that could pose a safety hazard.

This rigorous approach is crucial because propane is a flammable gas, and any undetected issues may lead to dangerous situations, including explosions or gas leaks that could harm people and property. Ensuring that the installation is inspected and tested is a fundamental step in maintaining safety and compliance in propane gas installations.
