Code for Gas Meters (Distance to Electrical)

[Randy Wayne]

Walked a property today that needs a lot of work, and one of my expected items was to replace the circuit breaker.  Trying to arrange an electrician to inspect, but curious thoughts on this being in/out of code?  It looks like the gas meter needs to be >= 3' away from ignition devices, but I'm not clear exactly how that is measured..

No clearances, there is nothing wrong with this installation. the 3' you may be referring to is for Exhaust pipes of gas fire appliances, not the gas meter ( which the meter and piping are all sealed). there is an electrical code of 30" work space clearance in front of an electrical panel, but the meter does not interfere with that. just make sure the panel box is a sealed box and rated for outdoors.
