Central air conditioner installation - proximity to gas meter? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Does anyone know how close an central air conditioner can be installed to the gas meter? I heard that three feet is all that is required. I also live in Ontario just in case the code is different for each Province.

Thanks.

Call enbridge. The code "Was" 3ft but they have newer gas regulators now that allow for closer placement of an Arcing electrical devise... Enbridge will confirm wich gas regulator you have. This has been topic debated with enbridge over the years, you'll want to know what they require.
