What is the required pitch for gas piping installation?

  1. 1/4" per 10' run

  2. 1/4" per 15' run

  3. 1/4" per 20' run

  4. 1/4" per 5' run

The correct answer is: 1/4" per 15' run

The required pitch for gas piping installation is 1/4" per 15' run. This means that for every 15 feet of piping, there should be a 1/4 inch slope or incline. Option A (1/4" per 10' run) is incorrect because it would result in too steep of a slope, which could lead to gas flow issues and potential safety hazards. Option C (1/4" per 20' run) would result in too gradual of a slope and could cause gas to not flow properly. Option D (1/4" per 5' run) is also incorrect as it would result in a slope that is too steep and could result in gas flow issues. Overall, it is important to follow the recommended pitch of 1/4" per 15' run for proper and safe gas piping installation.
