Spring Valley, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 147 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 147-50
Pressure-reduction devices
Operative Text
Any service connection supplying gas at a pressure in excess of one (1) pound per square inch gauge shall be provided with a device to reduce such pressure to not more than one-half ( 1/2) pound per square inch gauge prior to entering the meter, except where such service supplies equipment using gas at high pressures.
Spring Valley Code ch. 147 § 147-50 establishes a pressure threshold for gas service connections entering a meter. Any connection delivering gas above one pound per square inch gauge must have a pressure-reduction device installed before the meter, bringing the pressure down to no more than one-half pound per square inch gauge. An exception applies when the service is supplying equipment that is specifically designed to operate at higher gas pressures.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Spring Valley Code ch. 147 § 147-50, property owners and managers who have gas service connections operating above one pound per square inch gauge are generally expected to ensure a compliant pressure-reduction device is installed upstream of the meter. Operators typically document the equipment specifications to confirm whether the high-pressure exception applies to any particular service line. Routine inspection and maintenance of pressure-reduction devices is a common practice among compliant operators to keep gas systems within the prescribed limits.

Spring Valley Code ch. 147 § 147-50 sets a safety standard for gas pressure entering residential meters, which can be relevant to tenants concerned about the condition of gas infrastructure in their building. If a tenant has reason to believe the gas system does not comply with this provision, general enforcement paths include contacting the local building or code enforcement office in Spring Valley to request an inspection. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how building code violations may relate to habitability concerns or other remedies available under local law.
