If a gas piping system installed in 2000 no longer meets current code requirements, what should be done?

Ignore the code changes
Reinstall the entire system
Contact the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)
Continue using it without modifications

The correct answer is: Contact the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)

When a gas piping system that was installed in 2000 does not meet current code requirements, the most appropriate action is to contact the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The AHJ is responsible for enforcing building codes and safety regulations in a specific area, including those that pertain to gas installation and maintenance. By reaching out to the AHJ, you can receive guidance on the necessary steps to take to either bring the system up to code or to understand the implications of continued usage. The AHJ can provide important insights on whether any immediate action is required and outline any necessary remedies to ensure safety and compliance. This approach encourages adherence to local regulations, ensuring that any modifications or maintenance required for the gas piping system are performed correctly and safely, ultimately protecting the health and safety of the occupants and the integrity of the system itself.
