SAMPLE CALCULATIONS:
Equivalent Length = Total length of main gas supply pipe from
the gas meter to the far end of the tumbler dryers.
= 25' + 19' (7.6 m + 5.8 m) gas supply pipe.
= 44' (13.4 m) Total Gas Liner
Using the table in Figure 22, the main supply pipe diameter should be 2" (5.08 cm).

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.
IMPORTANT: Line pressure must be maintained at 6-1/2" ± 1-1/2" water column inches (1.62 ± .37 kPa) for Natural Gas
(11 ± .3 water column inches for L.P. Gas) (2.74 ± .07 kPa) with all gas appliances running (tumblers, water heaters, space
heaters, furnace, etc.).
An in-line pressure regulator may be required on Natural Gas models if the line pressure exceeds eight water column inches
(2.00 kPa) pressure with all gas appliances firing.
