What is the minimum support spacing for 3/4"-1" gas pipe?

The minimum support spacing for 3/4"-1" gas pipe is 8 feet. This requirement is established to ensure proper support and stability of the gas piping system, minimizing the risk of sagging or damage due to weight or other factors. Adequate support is essential for maintaining the integrity and functionality of the plumbing system, as well as ensuring safety in operation. Overly spaced support may lead to undue stress on joints and connections, leading to potential leaks or failures. Thus, the 8-foot support spacing is a standard practice that balances structural integrity with practical installation considerations.
