How far from floors, walls, patios, slabs, and ceilings should gas piping outlets be located?

The appropriate placement of gas piping outlets is crucial for both functionality and safety. The correct choice emphasizes the importance of positioning outlets at a distance that facilitates easy access for maintenance and use, while also ensuring that users can operate tools comfortably without straining.

When outlets are located too close to floors, walls, patios, slabs, or ceilings, it becomes difficult to work around them, potentially leading to awkward angles or unsafe handling of tools and equipment. This not only hampers the efficiency of work but also increases the risk of accidents, as individuals may have to contort themselves or work in uncomfortable positions.

This approach prioritizes ergonomic considerations in the design and layout of gas piping systems, promoting both effective maintenance and user safety. The other options do not address the functional aspect of usage and maintenance, making them less suitable in ensuring the safety and efficiency of gas outlet placement.
