The International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) is a model code that regulates the design and installation of fuel gas distribution piping and systems, appliances, appliance venting systems, combustion air provisions, gaseous hydrogen systems and motor vehicle gaseous-fuel-dispensing stations. The definition of fuel gas includes natural, liquefied petroleum and manufactured gases and mixtures of these gases.
The IFGC applies to all occupancies including one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses.Therefore, whether using the IFGC or the IRC, the fuel gas provisions will be identical.
