Indiana adopts NFPA 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code statewide through 675 IAC 22 under the State Fire Marshal. These rules govern propane container placement, sizing, and installation, applying uniformly across all jurisdictions with limited local variance.
Indiana's Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission adopts NFPA 58 as the LP Gas Code through 675 IAC 22. Standards apply statewide to residential, commercial, and industrial propane installations. Key rules include minimum distances from buildings (10 feet for 125-500 gallon tanks), property lines, and ignition sources. Containers above 125 gallons require permits and inspection by the Indiana Office of State Fire Marshal. Installations must be performed by licensed LP gas contractors under IC 25-10. Local fire departments enforce, but cannot adopt less stringent standards. Container manufacturing must meet ASME or DOT specifications.
Code violations may result in installation red-tag, fines under IC 22-12-7 up to $10,000 per violation, and contractor license suspension. Improper installations may void insurance coverage.
