All fuel hose connections shall be factory made, or constructed with a crimped fitting specifically designed for that purpose. Hose clamps are prohibited on LP-Gas hose at any pressure.This results in the hose cracking from the inside out, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure. LP-Gas degrades rubber hose not specifically designed for use with that fuel. Air or pneumatic line is not acceptable as fuel hose.All LP-Gas Hoses that will be operated in excess of 5 psi shall be designed for a working pressure of at least 350 psi and shall be continuously marked by the manufacturer to indicate its maximum operating pressure and compatibility with LP-Gas.All LP-Gas metallic piping and fittings that will operate at a pressure greater than 125 psi shall be schedule 80 or heavier.The use of improper fittings can lead to leaks and failures in the fuel system resulting in fires and or injury.

All components of the fuel system (fittings, piping, valves, connectors, etc.) must be designed and rated for both the type and pressure of fuel being used.This valve must be exposed and visible at all times, and must be clearly marked as the emergency fuel shut-off. When closed, this valve must inhibit all fuel flow to the flame effect, regardless of how many LP-Gas cylinders are connected to the flame effect. Each LP-Gas flame effect must have a single 1/4-turn shut-off valve as the primary emergency fuel shut-off.Tanks in poor condition or out of date are a danger to fill and may cause injury to the fuel team, the artists, and/or participants.

All LP-Gas cylinders must have an unexpired certification date stamp and be in good working order.

All LP-Gas cylinders shall be designed, fabricated, tested, and marked in accordance with the regulations of the US Department of Transportation (DOT) or the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

NFPA documents are available for viewing and purchase on the NFPA website and should be reviewed by all Flame Effects artists.

NFPA 160 – Standard for the Use of Flame Effects Before an Audience.

The National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) publishes numerous codes and standards for the construction and use of LP-Gas systems, including: Regardless of fuel type or technological basis, all Flame Effects must be constructed in such a way as to meet or exceed applicable laws, codes and industry standards. Most of the guidelines below deal with LP-Gas as a fuel. The majority of flame effects at Burning Man are Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LP-Gas) effects LP-Gas is often commonly referred to as propane. Flame Effect Definitionįlame Effect is defined as “The combustion of solids, liquids, or gases to produce thermal, physical, visual, or audible phenomena before an audience.” This includes all flames that are automated, switched, pressurized or having any other action than simply being lit on fire as well as projects using propane or other liquid or gaseous fuels. The thing is, flame effects involve lots of moving parts and high-pressure flammable fuels, so follow these guidelines to make sure you’re doing it right.

I’m just not a performer and I’ve definitely used alcohol to feel comfortable on stage in front of people. I would drink to make it bearable, which sounds crazy but really it’s the truth. Like, when performing, I would drink to calm nerves.

“I mean I used a lot of alcohol,” he said.
