Line & Propane Tank Protection – Prevent Corrosion & Ensure Safety

Prevent Corrosion • Ensure Compliance • Extend Lifespan

PROTECT YOUR UNDERGROUND GAS PIPING WITH SPIKE ANODES 

Why Does Underground Gas Piping Need Protection? 

Underground gas piping is constantly exposed to moisture and soil conditions, which can cause corrosion, leaks, and potential system failure over time. A magnesium spike anode provides cathodic protection, a proven method to help prevent pipe deterioration and extend the life of your gas system. 

• Prevents Corrosion & Reduces Risk of Leaks 
• Extends the Life of Your Gas System 
• Ensures NFPA 58 Compliance 
• Reliable, Low-Maintenance Protection 

NFPA 58 Compliance – Corrosion Protection Requirement 

NFPA 58 requires that buried metallic gas piping be protected against corrosion. This includes: 

• Using cathodic protection (such as anodes) to prevent corrosion 
• Conducting testing at installation, within 6 months, and every 3 years thereafter 
• Maintaining records of the last two tests for compliance purposes 

Installing a spike anode helps meet these safety and regulatory standards, reducing risk and liability for homeowners and property owners. 

How Does a Spike Anode Work? 

A magnesium spike anode is buried near the gas piping and connected by a cable. The anode releases a low-voltage electrical current, allowing it to corrode instead of the piping. This sacrificial protection helps preserve the gas line and prevent costly damage. 

PROTECT YOUR UNDERGROUND PROPANE TANK WITH CATHODIC PROTECTION TESTING

Why is Cathodic Protection Testing Important? 

Underground propane tanks are constantly exposed to moisture and soil conditions that can lead to corrosion, leaks, and structural failure. NFPA 58 regulations require cathodic protection testing to ensure your system is working properly. 

• Protect your tank from corrosion and extend its service life 
• Ensure compliance with industry safety regulations 
• Reduces risk of costly repairs and tank failures 

Are You Due for a Cathodic Protection Test? 

NFPA 58 requires testing: 

• At installation 
• Within 6 months of installation 
• Every 3 years thereafter 

If your last test is over 3 years old or you’re unsure of your tank’s protection status, it’s time to schedule a test! 

What Happens During the Test? 

• Our trained technicians measure your system’s electrical protection levels 
• If your system fails, we provide a quote for anode bag replacement 
• You receive documentation for compliance records
