I am doing a demo at the former location of a propane distrubitor. You know, one of those places with the tall tank out front, where they fill your cylinders. Suffice to say, I've taken lots of pics!
Anyway, propane seems, to me, to be treated similar to, say, a gas station. Please review some of the thing's I've found, and let me know if you agree that this guy was tempting fate:
On the building is an emergency disconnect. Fresh out of the enclosure is the seal.... which is connected to EMT, then PVC as the line enters the ground. I would think everything between seals needed to be rigid (or PVC if 24" underground).
At the dispenser is a nice, rated switch mounted about 6 ft, up. Next to is is another switch. This second switch is attached to a seal. Switch is a typical push-button, mounted on a "Bell" box. I would think that, even if low voltage (which I don't yet know), this ought to be rated as well.
The dispensing are is lit by a MV 'cheapo' HID light, about 10ft up. Immediately behind this light is the seal. I would think any light below 12ft needed to be rated.
Thoughts, anyone?
