Is it permissible to have LP and Natural Gas in the same building?

The correct response to whether it is permissible to have LP (liquefied propane) and Natural Gas in the same building is that such a configuration is allowed with permission from the appropriate board or authority. This is primarily due to safety regulations and the need for proper installation and management practices when dealing with different types of gas.

Having both types of gas in a single structure can introduce complexities, including different storage requirements, differing appliance regulations, and potential safety hazards. Therefore, oversight through a permitting process ensures that the installation conforms to code and safety standards, minimizing risks such as leaks or improper usage of gas appliances.

In some jurisdictions, there may be specific codes that require a thorough review by local boards before allowing the coexistence of two different gas types. This is essential for ensuring that proper safety measures are in place and that the systems are compatible. With the right approval and oversight, using both LP and Natural Gas can be managed safely within the same building.
