4.8.2 Gas Line Sizing Tables for LP GAS
For your convenience, see below an excerpt from gas line sizing tables for a single LP appliance. Their intended use is for pipe sizing
between the 2nd stage (low pressure) regulator and the appliance. For details, see the current NFPA 54 or NFPA 58.
Required input for 160000 / 199000 BTU/hr for the RTG-L-160/199N/X1. The gas supply system must be sized for the combined
total maximum BTU/hr load requirements of all gas appliances running simultaneously.
Table 14 Maximum capacity of the gas supply pipe in thousands of BTU per hour of Undiluted LP Gas at 11" W.C (0.4 psig or
27.4mbar) based on a pressure drop of 0.5" W.C (1.25mbar).
Table 15 Maximum capacity in thousands of BTU of the gas supply pipe per hour of Undiluted LP Gas at 11" W.C (0.4 psig or
27.4mbar) based on a pressure drop of 0.5" W.C (1.25 mbar).
* EHD = Equivalent Hydraulic Diameter. The greater the value of EHD, the greater the gas capacity of the tubing.
Table 16 Maximum capacity in thousands of BTU of the gas supply pipe per hour of Undiluted LP Gas at 11" W.C (0.4 psig or
27.4mbar) based on a pressure drop of 0.5" W.C (1.25 mbar).
* Source National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54, ANSI Z223.1 - No Additional Allowance is necessary for an ordinary number of fittings.
