connection, relief valve, and liquid level gauge vent are ___ ft from sources of
ignition. - -10

-_________________ are the most common method used to join steel and
wrought iron pipes in residential/small commercial installs. - -Threaded
fittings
-____________ can be joined using manufacturer prescribed procedures like
heat fusion, or mechanical fittings. - -Polyethylene (PE) pipe
-For underground installs, tracer wire ________ be in direct contact with the
PE pipe. Must also be ___ AWG (american wire gauge). - -cannot, 14
-________ is flexible, durable, and covered with a plastic sheath. The sheath
should be protected as much as possible to prevent corrosion. - -CSST
(Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing)
-When sizing pipe/tubing for multiple second stage regulators, the line from
the first stage regulator to the second stage regulator must be sized based
on the total btu/hr demand beyond any/all second stage regulators. T/F? - -
True
-Primary factors affecting the rate of corrosion are: - -Type of metal,
environment metal is exposed to
-Methods used to protect propane containers/metallic piping from corrosion:
- -Paints/protective coatings, cathodic protection, electrically insulating
fittings
-_______ is most corrosive when it is high in moisture, electrical conductivity,
acidity, and dissolved salts. - -Soil
-Regulator selection is based on _____________ and _____________. - -
Downstream gas demand, service requirements
-More regualators in the system help increase effiencey. T/F? - -True
-All fixed piping systems that serve 1/2 psig appliance systems are required
to use a ____________, an ______________, or ______________. - -2-stage
regulator system, integral 2 - stage regualtor, 2-psi regulator system
-When the service valve to a container is closed: - -the regulator spring has
forced the diaphram down, fully opening the regualtor orifice
