4.8.2 Gas Line Sizing Tables for LP GAS
For your convenience see below for 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 C 950 (Pro TL 175 C) is 175000 BTU/hr and 199000 BTU/hr for the C 1050 (Pro TL 199 C). The gas supply
system must be sized for the combined total maximum BTU/hr load requirements of all gas appliances running simultaneously.
The tables below show the 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 27.4 mbar) based on a pressure drop of 0.5" W.C (1.25 mbar).
