NATURAL GAS : PIPE SIZING CHART
•
Natural Gas (NG) flow is given in
thousands of BTU/hr. = 1 cubic
foot of NG gas - 1000 BTU
•
Nominal pressure at the burner
for Natural Gas is 3.5” of water
column. (Typical machine supply
5”-7”)
•
Pipe length must include
additional length for all fittings.
Add approximately 5 feet of pipe
per fitting.
•
Natural Gas Example: A machine
with a burner that requires
440,000 BTU would need a 1 -1/4”
pipe for a 20” long run.
LIQUID PROPANE : PIPE SIZING CHART
NOTE: The sizing charts above list the specific pipe sizes required for the amount of BTU’s for a new gas line installations. If you
are using an existing gas line you must take into consideration the existing gas line capacities to ensure you will have proper
pressure.
This chart is for reference only, we recommend you consult with a Licensed Plumber/Gas Fitter or NFPA54 (National Fuel
Gas Code - current edition) for more details.

•
Liquid Propane (LP) Gas flow is
given in thousands of BTU/hr. =
1 cubic foot of LP gas - 2500 BTU.
•
This chart refers to low pressure LP,
after regulation, Standard nominal
pressure at the burner for Liquid
Propane Gas is 11” of water column.
•
Pipe length must include additional
length for all fittings. Add
approximately 5 feet of pipe per
fitting.
•
LP Example: A machine with a
burner that requires 440,000 BTU
would need a 1” pipe for a 20’ long
run.
