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
°
Total Btu/hr
= The sum of the Btu/hr of all tumblers being fed by the main gas supply pipe.
= 9 x 75,000
= 675,000 Btu/hr
Using Table 14, the main supply pipe diameter should be 2 in. (51 mm).
IMPORTANT: Gas pipe loop 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.
