I have had a couple of estimates on central AC and one said the requirement is 12 feet, the other 10 feet for the distance of the compressor from the gas meter. I did some checking and South Jersey Gas which serves my community has the following requirement - 10. Where will SJG install my meter? The standard location for our meter is in the front of the home or on the opposite side of your driveway. We also require a 3’ distance from a window, dryer vent, electric meter, or AC unit. My gas meter is right under my electric meter and between two windows. The distance is just about 3 feet. So why would I get these much greater and varied distances from the installers. What is the requirement in other areas?

Hello, I'm remodeling my kitchen (3rd floor) in a three family house with all public connections. I've run into a lead drain pipe that is probably original (house was built in 1930) and was thinking it was a good idea to replace it. More importantly, I'm also trying to move the drain pipe over to the right about a foot for the new location of my sink and currently the cast iron Y is coming straight out of the wall. I would like to turn it to the right (if looking at picture below) to get into the next bay where the sink will be located. I was thinking of cutting out the cast iron Y and using a neoprene sleeve to connect a PVC Y facing in the direction I want. Can I do it this way? Is there a better way to do it? It seems like I have cast iron vent pipe to lead drain pipe to copper drain pipe. I plan on rearranging a lot of the bathroom plumbing so I'm trying to figure out the simpliest and most professional way of doing this. In the second picture the lead drain pipe connects to a copper pipe. I think 1.5 ''. Again, i will need to make another connection there. Any guidance is very very much appreciated. Thank you.
