Course Description

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to design, size and document a consumers gas installation, including consumer piping operating up to a pressure of 200Kpa, fluing, ventilation and appliance installation associated with natural gas (NG), simulated natural gas (SNG),liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and tempered liquefied petroleum gas (TLPG) for a building of minimum four floors and multiple buildings supplied through one gas source (billing meter or storage tank).
It covers preparing for work, determining gas installation design requirements, detailed planning of the layout, and completing work finalisation processes, including records and documentation.
