Which statement about interior piping is true?

• A. A leak check is required for all piping including exterior
• B. A pressure test is not needed for the interior piping
• C. A pressure test must be at least 1 1/2 times the proposed maximum working pressure and not less than 3 psig
• D. Leak checks are never required

Answer: (C)

Interior propane piping must be tested to verify it can hold pressure without leaking. The standard requires the test pressure to be at least 1.5 times the piping’s maximum working pressure and not less than 3 psig, ensuring a solid safety margin and a meaningful check against weak joints or fittings. This combination guarantees the system can handle normal operation plus a healthy margin for safety. That’s why this option is the best: it states the exact testing requirement that shows both a proportional test pressure (1.5 times the operating pressure) and a practical minimum (3 psig). The other statements either skip the necessary pressure test, claim leak checks alone are sufficient, or say leak checks aren’t required—none of which align with the tested standard for interior piping.
