IFGC (International Fuel Gas Code) – 2024
The 2024 International Fuel Gas Code is a comprehensive technical reference for professionals who design, install, maintain, review, or inspect fuel-gas systems and gas-fired appliances. Published by the International Code Council, it sets minimum requirements intended to support safe system installation and reliable operation.
The code addresses fuel-gas distribution piping, approved piping materials, pipe sizing, pressure regulators, appliance connections, overpressure protection, combustion air, chimneys, vents, and venting systems. It also covers requirements for specific gas-fired appliances, gaseous hydrogen systems, and motor-vehicle gaseous-fuel-dispensing stations. Its definition of fuel gas includes natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, manufactured gas, and mixtures of these gases.
Helpful appendices provide guidance on gas-piping capacity and sizing, vent-system calculations, and safety inspections for existing appliance installations. These resources make the book useful not only for code research but also for system planning, calculations, installation reviews, and field inspections.
The 2024 edition includes revisions involving combustion-air and vent-drafting tests, protection from fumes and gases, piping workmanship, and selected venting tables. It also uses a cleaner single-column design, modernized typography, shaded table headings, improved placement of figures, and QR codes that help readers identify changes from the previous code cycle.
This edition is valuable for fuel-gas contractors, HVAC professionals, mechanical engineers, architects, building inspectors, plans examiners, code officials, facility managers, instructors, apprentices, and students. It can support system design, permit preparation, appliance installation, inspection work, professional training, and examination study where the 2024 IFGC is specified.
Code adoption and local amendments vary. Customers should confirm that the 2024 edition applies to their jurisdiction, project, employer, course, or examination.
Order one copy for professional or educational use, or request bulk pricing for contractors, engineering firms, building departments, colleges, training centers, libraries, and resellers.
