Construction drawings used for designing and installing vapor distribution systems may be as simple as a quick sketch with lengths of piping runs penciled in, or they may be detailed architectural scale drawings consisting of several pages.
In this module you will learn to:
(1) Identify architectural and construction drawings

Identifying Architectural and Construction Drawings
The need for architectural and construction drawings depends on how simple or complex the installation. In some cases, a simple sketch will work as in Figure 1. In others, complex drawings may be needed.

Architectural Drawings
Detailed architectural drawings are scale drawings that use fractions of an inch to represent 1 foot of the actual building.
To determine the accurate location of gas appliances or gas distribution runs, an architectural scale ruler that corresponds to the scale of the drawing is used.

Plot Plans and Topographical Drawings
Detailed plot plans and topographic (elevation) drawings provide useful information that can include:
• Practical and safe locations for propane tanks and cylinders—especially underground tanks
• Landscaping, sprinkler systems, and septic system components that must be avoided when setting the propane tank and running the underground gas distribution lines

Elevation Drawings and Floor Plans
From the elevation plan, a gas distribution designer or installer can determine if gas distribution lines can be run in either the attic or basement.
Planned locations of gas appliances and the lengths of horizontal and vertical pipe runs can also be determined.
