Gas Line Sizing Tables for LP GAS
For your convenience see below for an excerpt from gas line sizing tables for a single LP appliance. Their intended use of is for pipe sizing between the
2nd stage (low pressure) regulator and the appliance. For details see the current NFPA 54 or NFPA 58.
Specified pipe lengths are for one RTG 199ME which has a maximum input of 199,000. The gas supply system must be sized for the combined total
maximum BTU/hr load requirements of all gas appliances running simultaneously.
The tables below show the maximum capacity of the gas supply pipe in thousands of BTU per hour of Undiluted LP Gas at 11" W.C (0.4 psig or 27.4
mbar) based on a pressure drop of 0.5" W.C (1.25 mbar).
* EHD = Equivalent Hydraulic Diameter. The greater the value of EHD, the greater the gas capacity of the tubing.
Maximum Capacity of Semi-Rigid (flexible, non corrugated) Tubing in
Thousands of BTU/hr of Undiluted Liquefied Petroleum Gases (at 11
inches Water Column Inlet Pressure).(Based on a Pressure Drop of 0.5
Inch Water Column)* Source National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54, ANSI
Z223.1 - No Additional Allowance is necessary for an ordinary number of
fittings.

NOTICE:
▶ This heater is not approved for preheated water
applications exceeding 140°F (60°C).
NOTICE:
▶ In applications where inlet water temperature can
exceed 140°F (60°C), a 3-way valve or mixing valve
must be installed before the appliance to prevent
water exceeding 140°F (60°C) from entering the
appliance.
