Sec. 14-14. Standards for gas appliances; who may install,
etc.
No gas appliance shall be sold or installed in the city which does
not conform to approved standards for safety to persons and
property. Approval or listing of an appliance by the testing
laboratories of the American Gas Association or the American
Standards Association shall be prima facie evidence that the
appliance conforms to the requirements of this section and lack of
such approval or listing shall be presumptive evidence that the
appliance does not conform to approved standards for safety to
persons and property.
All work of installing, changing, altering or repairing gas
service connections, or pipes, connected to fixtures, equipment
and appliances shall be done only by a master plumber or a
master gas fitter or by a qualified mechanic employed by them
and working under their immediate supervision or by the city gas
department; and it shall be the duty of each master plumber or
master gas fitter to secure a permit from the plumbing inspector
prior to performing any of the above work. The permit fee for
each such installation shall be two dollars and fifty cents.
(Code 1959, § 14-14; 3-17-75, § 1.)
