50 pound tumblers (120,000 Btu/hr each)
6
19 ft. (5.8 m)
75 pound tumblers (165,000 Btu/hr each)
F75 pound tumblers (215,000 Btu/hr each)
SAMPLE CALCULATIONS:
Equivalent length
= Total length of main gas supply pipe to the far end of the tumblers.
= 25 ft. + 19 ft. (7.6 m + 5.8 m) gas supply pipe
= 44 ft. (13.4 m) Total Gas Line
Total Btu/hr.
= The sum of the Btu/hr. of all 50 pound tumblers being fed by the main gas supply pipe.
= 9
x
120,000
= 1,080,000
Btu/hr.
Using
, the main supply pipe diameter should be 2 in. (51 mm).
IMPORTANT: Gas loop piping must be installed as illustrated to equalize gas pressure for all tumblers
connected to single gas service. Other gas using appliances should be connected upstream from loop.
