  • Natural Gas (NG) flow is given in thousands of BTU per hour. One cubic foot of natural gas = 1000 BTU.
  • Nominal pressure at the burner for natural gas is 3.5 inches of water column. (Typical machine supply 5-7 Inches)
  • Pipe length must include additional lengths for all fittings. Add approximately 5 feet of pipe per fitting.
  •  EXAMPLE: A machine with a burner that requires 440,000 BTU you need a 1 1/4 inch pipe for a 20 foot long run.

  • Liquid Propane (LP) flow is given in thousands of BTU per hour. One cubic foot of LP = 2516 BTU
  • This chart refers to low pressure LP, after regulation, standard nominal pressure at the burner for LP gas is 11 inches of water column
  • Pipe length must include additional length for all fittings. Add approximately 5 feet of pipe per fitting
  • EXAMPLE: A machine with a burner that requires 440,000 BTU would need a 1 inch pipe for a 20 foot long run
