Table 1. For Less than 8” WC initial supply pressure
Maximum Natural Gas Delivery Capacity (0.5” Pressure Drop)
Values in Table are in Cubic Feet of Gas per Hour (0.60 Specific Gravity, 0.5” Pressure Drop, inlet pressure less than 2psi). Contact your gas
supplier for BTU/Cubic Foot ratings. For simplification of your calculations, 1 Cubic Foot of Gas is approximately equivalent to 1000 BTU.
Instructions
1. Size each outlet branch starting from the furthest
using the Btuh required and the length from the meter.
2. Size each section of the main line using the length to
the furthest outlet and the Btuh required by everything
after that section.
Sample Gas Line
Sample Calculation - (Using 0.5” WC Pressure Drop Table)
Outlet A: 45' (13.5m) (Use 50' (15m)), 50,000 Btuh requires 1/2"
