What does NFPA 54 9.7.1 require for electrical connections between appliances and building wiring?

NFPA 54 9.7.1 specifically requires that electrical connections between appliances and building wiring must conform to NFPA 70, which is the National Electrical Code (NEC). This requirement ensures that all electrical work related to gas appliances is done safely and according to recognized best practices in electrical engineering. Adhering to NFPA 70 means that the installation will meet safety criteria, reducing the risk of fire, electrical shock, or other hazards associated with improper electrical installations.

The other options—such as requiring insulation from moisture, specific locations for the connections, or the use of remote control—do not align with the standards set forth in NFPA 54 regarding electrical connections. Ensuring compliance with NFPA 70 focuses on the fundamental safety and installation practices that need to be adhered to for the safe operation of gas appliances.
