The
gas
supply
must
be
capable
of
handling
the
en re
gas
load
at
the
loca on.
Gas
line
sizing
is
based
on
gas
type,
the
pressure
drop
in
the
system,
the
gas
pressure
sup
‐
plied,
and
gas
line
type.
For
gas
pipe
sizing
in
the
United
States,
refer
to
the
Na
Ɵ
onal Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54
.
The
below
informa on
is
provided
as
an
example.
The
appro
‐
priate
table
from
the
applicable
code
must
be
used.
1.
For
some
tables,
you
will
need
to
determine
the
cubic
feet
per
hour
of
gas
required
by
dividing
the
gas
input
by
the
hea ng
value
of
the
gas
(available
from
the
local
gas
company).
The
gas
input
needs
to
include
all
gas
products
at
the
loca on
and
the
maximum
BTU
usage
at
full
load
when
all
gas
products
are
in
use.
2.
Use
the
table
for
your
gas
type
and
pipe
type
to
fi
nd
the
pipe
size
required.
The
pipe
size
must
be
able
to
provide
the
required
cubic
feet
per
hour
of
gas
or
the
required
BTU/hour.
Example:
The
hea ng
value
of
natural
gas
for
your
loca on
is
1,000
BTU/FT
3
.
The
gas
input
of
the
UG40
‐
92TFTT
‐
N2U
or
UG40
‐
92TFTT
‐
P2U
is
91,500
BTU/HR.
Addi onal
appliances
at
the
loca on
require
65,000
BTU/HR.
Therefore
the
cubic
feet
per
hour
=
(91,500
+
65,000)
/
1,000
=
156.5
FT
3
/HR
(4.43
m
3
/HR).
If
the
pipe
length
is
10
feet
(3.05
m)
then
the
3/4
inch
(19
mm)
pipe
size
is
capable
of
supplying
156.5
FT
3
/HR
(4.43

of
natural
gas.
