Gas Supply Pipe Sizing and Looping
Figure 13
TMB2126N
1 Gas Furnace (120,000 Btu/hr.) 8 25 ft. (7.6 m)
2 Gas Water Heaters (400,000 Btu/hr. each) 9 Main Regulator
3 Gas Space Heaters (70,000 Btu/hr. each) 10 Gas Meter
4 Sediment Traps, Supply Pressure Taps and 11 Pressure Regulator (if required)
Shut-off Valves. Refer To Figure 12. 12 T30 Tumblers (73,000 Btu/hr per pocket;
5 1 in. (25.4 mm) Gas Pipe Loop 146,000 total Btu/hr for machine)
6 19 ft. (5.8 m) T45 Tumblers (95,000 Btu/hr per pocket;
7 Minimum Pipe Size is 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) 190,000 total Btu/hr for machine)
SAMPLE CALCULATIONS:
Equivalent length = Total length of main gas supply pipe to the far end of the tumblers.
= 25 ft. + 19 ft. (7.6 m + 5.8 m) gas supply pipe
= 44 ft. (13.4 m) Total Gas Line
Total Btu/hr. = The sum of the Btu/hr. of all T30 tumblers being fed by the main gas supply pipe.
= 9 x 73,000
= 657,000 Btu/hr.
Using Table 6, the main supply pipe diameter should be 2 in. (51 mm).
IMPORTANT: Gas loop piping must be installed as illustrated to equalize gas pressure for all tumblers
connected to single gas service. Other gas using appliances should be connected upstream from loop.
