Where must pressure regulators that require venting be vented to?

Pressure regulators that require venting must be vented outdoors to ensure the safe dispersion of any gas or vapor that may escape during the operation of the regulator. Venting outdoors prevents potentially harmful substances from accumulating in enclosed spaces, which could pose a risk to health and safety.

For instance, if there is a malfunction or leakage in the regulator, venting it indoors could lead to the buildup of flammable gases or an unsafe environment due to reduced oxygen levels. By directing the venting outdoors, it allows for proper ventilation and minimizes hazards associated with gas exposure in living or working areas.

In addition to safety considerations, venting outdoors often complies with regulations and industry standards, which are designed to protect individuals and property from potential dangers associated with gas systems.
