Appliances connected to a gas piping system must have an approved manual shut-off valve installed within what distance of the appliance?

2 feet
3 feet
6 feet
12 feet

The correct answer is: 6 feet

Appliances connected to a gas piping system must have an approved manual shut-off valve installed within 6 feet of the appliance to ensure safe operation and maintenance. This requirement is in place to provide convenient access to the shut-off valve in case of an emergency or when servicing the appliance. It enables users or technicians to quickly turn off the gas supply if necessary, thereby reducing the risk of gas leaks, fires, or explosions. By adhering to this distance specification, the system promotes both safety and efficiency when working with gas appliances.
