Abstract: In order to make the utilization of natural gas more economically attractive through the development of improved gas equipment and innovative gas appliances and to maintain the attractiveness of the gas option to residential and commercial customers, it is essential to develop an efficient, economical, and safe gas distribution system that can be installed easily in a commercial structure or any single or multifamily dwelling by builders and/or contractors. The interior gas distribution system must contribute to a total gas energy package that is attractive and cost competitive compared with similar electric service. Gas Research Institute has been involved in the conduc* of research to develop improved methods for distributing gas in residential and commercial buildings since approximately 1984. Prior work has focused on a review of the state-of-the-art of interior gas piping systems to determine the most viable systems for application to the U.S. market. It was determined that semi-rigid gas piping systems (i.e-, corrugated stainless steel tubing from Japan and small diameter copper tubing operated at elevated pressure) had the greatest potential for reducing installation labor and cost in residential and commercial buildings compared to conventional interior gas distribution methods (i.e., black steel pipe).
