Propane Line and Tank Question

[jb9]

Hello,

I am considering installing a gas line so that I can run my kitchen range on propane. The rest of the home will use electricity. The house is currently in design phase so I am interested in hearing suggestions on how this is typically done. I am assuming the piping will exit at the foundation level. Also, I don’t want to have a large tank. It will be a small tank that I can take and get refilled myself.

Here are my questions:

1. What components are needed? What type of piping? What fittings?

2. What is the ideal location for an external tank?

3. Is the code (distance from windows/vents) fairly standardized?

4. Can I build a small cavity with a cover and bury a small tank instead of keeping next to the house? (I do know that larger tanks are commonly buried)


Thanks in advance

cylinders not filled on sight are a minimum 5' from the structure

5' from any air intake/includes ac compressor
3' from windows
cylinders that are filled by truck are 10' minimum fro house
100 gallon -500 gallon tanks are 15' from the house minimum


underground shall be 10' minimum from structure,,windows, intake, property line. anything


sorry, gas in my opinion is not a DIY project
call a plumber, to have it installed and tested for your safety and your property safety
