§ 9-220. Fuel gas piping.

All gas piping installed within a floating home moorage, including such piping intended to serve floating homes and other floating structures and such piping as may be required to serve dockside facilities, shall be installed in accordance with the Florida Building Code and with the following special requirements:

(1)

Cathodic protection. All gas piping shall have approved cathodic protection designed, inspected and certified by an approved engineering firm specializing in this field.

(2)

Connections, valves. Where gas is permitted by the administrative authority to be distributed from shoreside facilities, connections to floating homes and other moorage structures shall be made by the use of approved high pressure flexible hose and such connections shall terminate in a positive disconnect coupling. A separate shut-off valve shall be installed ahead of such connection. Connections shall not be immersed in water or run exposed on docks, piers, floats, floating homes or other floating structures. The length of the flexible connection shall not be excessive nor shall it be used as a substitute for gas piping.
