When it comes to the gas piping inside your home or business, safety, precision, and strict adherence to regulations are non-negotiable. The repair and isolation of interior gas piping is highly regulated work that requires specialized training and certification. At Coastal Plumbing Services Inc., we hold the Northeast Gas Association (NGA) Covered Task 87 Operator Qualification (OQ), allowing us to legally and safely perform, isolate, and repair interior gas piping and meter assemblies throughout Long Island, NY.
CERTIFIED, SAFE & COMPLIANT
What is the NGA Task 87 Operator Qualification?
Natural gas is a safe and efficient energy source, but handling gas infrastructure requires rigorous oversight. The Northeast Gas Association (NGA) Covered Task 87 is a mandatory US Department of Transportation (DOT) and state-level Operator Qualification (OQ).
This certification is legally required for Licensed Master Plumbers and their staff to work on specific gas systems. It ensures that the professionals performing, isolating, or repairing interior gas piping and meter assemblies have demonstrated the knowledge, skill, and ability to recognize and react to abnormal operating conditions safely.
By hiring a Task 87-qualified team like Coastal Plumbing Services Inc., you are guaranteeing that your gas piping work is being performed by certified experts who meet the highest federal and state safety regulations.
