Certifications/Inspections

We will assist in any way we can but the cost and procedure to meet those requirements is soley the responsibility of the customer. Basically, it is the customers responsibility to make sure you have the proper gas flow available, and can follow inspection requirements for your area.
Since custom outdoor fire features is a relatively new concept, most local governments have no or very vague codes for installation requirements. We have found that in most cases the municipalities follow the handbook NFPA 58(liquified petroleum gas code) where they do not have a specific code pertaining to outdoor fire features.
