What is the maximum length of a section of metallic reinforced hose that can be installed for flexibility?

  1. 30 inches

  2. 36 inches

  3. 42 inches

  4. 48 inches

The correct answer is: 36 inches

The maximum length for a section of metallic reinforced hose that can be installed for flexibility is 36 inches. This limitation is in place to ensure that the hose maintains its structural integrity while providing the necessary flexibility for equipment movement and connections. Longer sections can lead to excessive sagging or potential kinking, which could impede the flow of gas and create safety hazards. Additionally, shorter lengths are often easier to manage during installation and maintenance, reducing the risk of wear and tear on the hose as well. In many guidelines, this 36-inch standard helps balance flexibility and safety, ensuring that the system operates efficiently without introducing vulnerabilities. Understanding and adhering to this requirement is essential for maintaining compliance with safety regulations and ensuring the proper functionality of compressed natural gas systems.
