SUPPLY & INSTALLATION OF GAS DOORS 

NCC 2016 Building code of Australia ( BCA ) As1530.4-2005 

Blockade Barriers Melbourne Australia

Installation of fully louvred doors that to provide adequate natural ventilation to Gas Rooms.

ABOUT OUR
GAS DOORS

Gas meters and regulators inherently vent natural gas when in operation. When multiple meters are installed inside a building, the accumulation of gas can create a potentially highly flammable and explosive environment.

 

There are stringent requirements surrounding the construction and ongoing maintenance for the upkeep of the gas metering rooms.

 

Blockade Barriers provide the solution with our bespoke Vented Gas Doors. 

APPLICATION AND DESIGN

  • Doors and door frames shall be installed in accordance with the current BCA with a FRL appropriate to both the Class of building and Type of construction.​​​​

 

  • All internal doors shall be close fitting and fitted with vapour proof seals to prevent the possible migration of gas. Doors opening directly to outside do not require vapour proof seals.

 

  • Preference is given to double opening doors. Where single doors are utilized, the door width shall not be less than 1m.

 

  • GMR doors shall be fitted with a Multinet Gas standard lock and will be supplied by the builder. The use of a key safe is allowed should the owner/occupiers keying system be used. Doors must be able to be opened from inside without a key.

​

  • A Multinet Gas supplied MGS2-7-1 (Danger No Smoking – Gas Meter Room) sign will be fitted to the meter room door by Multinet Gas personnel
