What Columbus Fire Inspectors Check During Propane Compliance Testing

Based on the official 2025 Mobile Food Vendor Inspection Guidelines, here’s exactly what Columbus inspectors look for. Be Ohio’s licensed team ensures you meet every point before your inspection appointment:

  • Annual Propane Pressure Leak Test: Must be completed within 12 months of license renewal. Be Ohio provides certified documentation.
  • UL-Listed Flammable Gas Leak Detector: We use hand-held detectors approved for mobile unit testing.
  • Proper Fire Extinguishers: 5 lb. ABC extinguisher and 2.5 Gal (6L) Class K extinguisher for cooking with oils and solid fuels — all must have current inspection tags.
  • Carbon Monoxide Detection: A working CO detector with battery backup is required inside the unit.
  • Approved Propane Tanks: Must be DOT-certified, under 200 lbs. total, mounted securely with metal brackets, no quick disconnects on exterior tanks.
  • Compliant Propane Hoses: Must be rubber, stamped “Approved for LP Gas 350 psi,” or stainless steel braided and PVC-coated for movable equipment.
  • Emergency Shut-Off Valves: Must be accessible from outside, with a visible shut-off sign and a quarter-turn gas ball valve.
  • Ventilation Requirements: All units producing grease-laden vapors must have a commercial-grade Type 1 hood system. Deep fryers require commercial restaurant-grade hoods.

Note: Food trucks must also pass a lighting and braking system inspection, including working tail lights, signals, emergency flashers, and parking brake.
