Regulations.
• Do not use flexible connectors.
• Piping to units should conform with local and national
requirements for type, volume, and gas handled and for pressure
drop allowed in the line. Refer to the tables on this page to
determine the gas flow in ft

/hr or m
3
/hr for the type of gas and
size of unit to install. Using this value and the length of pipe
necessary, determine the pipe diameter. Where several units are
served by the same main, the total capacity, gas flow, and length
of main must be considered. Avoid pipe sizes smaller than ½"
(DN15). Table 27-2 below allows for the usual number of
fittings with a 0.3" wc (0.07 kPa) pressure drop.
• When the specific gravity of the gas is other than 0.60 for natural
gas or 1.53 for propane, use Table 27-1.

Note:
Use the above multiplying factor with Table: 27-2
when the specific gravity of gas is other than 0.60
(natural gas) or 1.53 (propane).
