Morikawa\nProject Engineer\nPRI Gasco, Inc.\nPRI Tower 733 Bishop Street\nP. O. Box 3379\nHonolulu, Hawaii 96842\nDear Mr. Morikawa:\nThe Installation of a regulator in an alcove with a louvered door facing the outside of a building would not\nmeet §§192.355(b)(2) or 192.357(d). Under these regulations, the vent outlet of a regulator installed inside a\nbuilding must be located outside to assure that any gas escaping through the vent is released in the outside\natmosphere.\nSincerely,\nOriginal signed by\nRichard L.
