How Do They Work?
Gas piping systems operate under controlled pressure to deliver gas from the main line to appliances safely and efficiently. Here’s a simplified overview of how the system functions:
- The gas supply enters your home from the utility company or a propane tank
- It flows through a main line and branches off to individual appliances
- A regulator controls the pressure to ensure consistent and safe delivery
- Shut-off valves are located near each appliance for service or emergency access
- Vents or flue systems help remove combustion byproducts from the home
When properly designed and installed, a gas piping system provides clean-burning, reliable energy for your daily household needs.
