When should the pressure in a low pressure gas line be checked?

The pressure in a low pressure gas line should be checked regularly as part of system maintenance to ensure that the gas delivery system is operating safely and efficiently. Regular checks can help identify potential issues such as pressure drops or leaks that may develop over time, ensuring that the system remains compliant with safety standards and operating effectively. Consistent monitoring of pressure levels allows for proactive maintenance, reducing the risk of hazards related to gas leaks or improper appliances functioning.

While checks might also be necessary under specific circumstances such as during installation, when a gas leak is suspected, or before starting any gas appliance, these are not the sole times when pressure should be assessed. Regular maintenance is essential as it helps to establish a routine that enhances safety and prolongs the life of the gas system.
