Oneida, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 77 § 77-122
High pressure gas
Operative Text
Any service connection supplying gas at a pressure in excess of one pound per square inch gage shall be provided with a device to reduce such pressure to not more than 1/2 pound per square inch gage prior to entering the meter, except where such service supplies equipment using gas at high pressures.
Under Oneida, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 77 § 77-122, any gas service connection that delivers gas at a pressure exceeding one pound per square inch gauge must include a pressure-reducing device that brings the pressure down to no more than one-half pound per square inch gauge before the gas reaches the meter. This requirement does not apply when the service is specifically supplying equipment that is designed to operate at higher gas pressures. The rule is intended to ensure that gas entering residential or commercial metering systems is maintained at a safe, regulated pressure level.

Property owners and managers overseeing buildings in Oneida should be aware that ch. 77 § 77-122 requires a compliant pressure-reducing device to be installed on any high-pressure gas service connection before the meter, unless the connected equipment is specifically rated for high-pressure gas use. Operators generally verify that their gas service infrastructure includes the appropriate regulating hardware and that it is maintained in proper working order. Routine inspections of gas service connections and pressure-reduction equipment help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Section 77-122 of Oneida's Code of Ordinances establishes a safety standard for gas pressure entering a building's metering system, which is relevant to tenants who rely on gas service in their units. If a tenant has concerns that gas service equipment in their building may not meet this standard, they may consider contacting the local code enforcement office or building department to inquire about compliance. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what steps are generally available when a potential code violation is identified.
