2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC)

By International Code Council (ICC)

2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) is a widely adopted model code published by the International Code Council (ICC) that establishes minimum safety requirements for fuel gas systems. It governs the design, installation, testing, operation, and maintenance of gas piping systems and gas-fired appliances used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

As part of the International Codes (I-Codes) family, the IFGC provides both prescriptive and performance-based provisions covering combustion air, venting, chimneys, appliance connections, and system testing. It is a core reference for contractors, engineers, inspectors, and code officials responsible for safe fuel gas installations.
