BTV Demand Total Length Branch Size Gas Meter Appliance BTU Demand Total Length Branch Size SIGN PROCEDURE Draw Layout or use graphle above, Identify branch and outlets as Individual points. Determine BTU/nr demand at each Appliance: Calculate the gas demand at each branch in the main line. Starting nith the furthest appliance From the metér, add up the demands as you work tonards thé meter. Specity length of each segment Calculate length from the gas meter to each eranch and each appliance, Coot io the ne sie starting trom the lattes: pont trom ine notor, the ple size abo Look up. te tne sie storing fom te Tuchest port Icom the meter.

Hore the BTU Demand is Found by taking the larger value of the name plate rating or the valve shown In Table " 3 a P “ Total Length Is |45' = 20' + 35' + 40' + 20' + 20' + 10' To find the required branch size enter the table belon rounding the distance from I45' to ISO" and reading down the column until the capacity of the ppe exceeds the BTU demand in this case 42 cfr exceeds 65 BTU therefore a 3/4" pipe nill work for this branch, This Is the minimum pipe size all the nay to the meter.

In this case It serves the range and fireplace. The distance Is calculated as noted at polit B above. BTU Demand 40 = 65 + 25 Total Length Is 125' = 35' + 40' + 20' + 20' + 10" Entering the table with the Length = 125 and BTU Demand = 40 the minimum plpe size Is 3/4" BTU Demand |25 = 35 + 65+ 25 Total Length Is Jo! = 40! + 20'+ 20'+ Io! Entering the table nith the Length = 40" and a cf demand of 113.6 the minimum pipe size is I this pipe size must be maintained all the way back to the meter Calculate this point as shonn above. CD Demand 364 = 60 + 50 + 134+35+65+25 Total Length Is 10" = 10" Entering the table nith the Length = 10' and BTU Demand = 364 the minimum pipe size Is 3/4" tout because points up the line Fequire a minimum oF aI" line al" line must be provided, Follon the Instruction on page one, this sheets only Illustrates specific examples.
