Size the gas pipe
The gas supply must be capable of handling the entire
gas load required at the location. Gas line sizing is
based on gas type, the pressure drop in the system,
the gas pressure supplied, and gas line type. For gas
pipe sizing in the United States, refer to the
National
Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 . The below information is
provided as an example. The appropriate 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 heating value of the gas
(available from the local gas company). The gas
input needs to include all gas products at the lo-
cation 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
find 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 heating value of natural gas for your location is
1000 BTU/FT
3
. The gas input of the RUC98i is 199,000
BTU/HR. Additional appliances at the location require
65,000 BTU/hr. Therefore the cubic feet per hour =
(199,000 + 65,000) / 1000 = 264 FT
3
/HR. If the pipe
length is 10 feet then the 3/4 inch pipe size is capable
of supplying 264 FT
3
/HR of natural gas.


Any compound used on the threaded joint of the
gas piping shall be a type that resists the action of
liquefied petroleum gas (propane / LPG).

The gas supply line shall be gas tight, sized, and so
installed as to provide a supply of gas sufficient to
meet the maximum demand of the heater and all
other gas consuming appliances at the location
without loss of pressure.
INFORMATION

If in doubt about the size of the gas line, refer to an
approved pipe sizing chart
