Description
2021 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC)
The IFGC is the International Code Council rulebook for fuel gas work: how the piping goes in, what the appliances need, and what has to happen with combustion air and venting so the installation is safe once it is running.
It covers natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, and applies to residential and commercial buildings alike, so a single reference carries across job types.
What the code covers
- Fuel gas piping systems.
- Appliance requirements.
- Combustion air and ventilation.
- Chimneys and vents.
The 2021 revisions
The updated provisions tighten wording, bring the code in line with current industry practice, and raise safety requirements for modern buildings. The layout is structured so a requirement can be traced to the design consideration behind it.
Who uses it
Mechanical contractors, building inspectors and code enforcement officers, plus students in construction management, mechanical systems and building inspection programmes. It is also used in certification preparation as part of the International Code Council series.
