Required ventilation for built-in LP-gas cylinder structures:
An enclosure for an LP-gas cylinder shall be ventilated by openings at both the upper and lower levels of the

enclosure, equally sized, spaced at a minimum
of 90 degrees (1.57 rad), and unobstructed. See
Figure 2. The opening(s) shall have a total free
area of not less than 1 in
stored fuel capacity.

Ventilation opening(s) shall be provided at floor
level of the enclosure and shall have a total free
area of not less than 1/2 in
