Section 3: System Configuration
d) Multiple Manifold Systems
For those installations in which the energy load demand is large or the appliances are installed throughout the structure with
long distances from the meter, a multiple manifold system may be used (Fig. 3-5, 3-6). Elevated pressure systems are a safe,
efficient method of providing for larger BTUH load demands while maintaining smaller pipe diameters.
e) Combination Steel / CSST System (Hybrid)
In a hybrid system (Fig. 3-7), corrugated stainless steel tubing
is used in combination with rigid pipe or copper tubing.
In lower pressure systems it is often advantageous to use
both CSST and rigid pipe to help minimize pressure drops
typically encountered on systems with high loads and/or long
runs. FlashShield™ flexible Gas Piping is approved for use in
combination with all approved fuel gas-piping materials by
using approved pipe threads at the interface.
f) Elevated Pressure System
In a complete elevated pressure system (Fig. 3-8), corrugated
stainless steel tubing is used to deliver pressures in excess of
1/2 PSI to a pounds-to-inches regulator positioned directly
in front of each appliance. is is an alternate method of
installation used to minimize pipe size on systems with high
loads and/or long runs. Regulators shall be sized per the
largest single appliance, see Table 4-10.
