What is the legal minimum distance required between the point of transfer of LP Gas and a building with fire-resistant walls?

The legal minimum distance required between the point of transfer of LP Gas and a building with fire-resistant walls is established to ensure safety by minimizing the risk of fire hazards. A distance of 10 feet is specified in regulations to provide a buffer zone that helps to protect structures in the event of a gas leak or an ignition incident. This distance takes into account the potential for gas to escape during the transfer process and aims to reduce the risk of an explosion or fire impacting the building.

Fire-resistant walls offer some level of protection, but LP Gas is flammable, and maintaining a safe distance helps to mitigate risks associated with its handling. The 10-foot distance reflects regulatory standards designed to protect both personnel involved in the transfer and the structural integrity of nearby buildings.
