Extrapolation beyond the table entries shall not be acceptable. C216 When the vent table permits more than one diameter of pipe to be used for a vent connector or vent, the smallest permitted diameter shall be preferred. 278 £2020 Canadian Standards Assocation Janvary 20205a.81491:20 Natural gas and propane installation code [= tra gas cra propane nstatation cod methods have not been developed for fan-assisted appliances; therefore, until engineering data is developed to allow alternative sizing methods for Category | fan-assisted appliances, these vent tables shall be used. C22 The vent tables included in this Annex apply to vents and chimneys internal to the structure below the roof line. Exterior chimneys or vents not enclosed by the structure or a chase below the roof line can experience continuous condensation, depending on locality. A chimney with one or more sides exposed to the outside of the structure shall be considered to be an exterior chimney. A Type B vent or a Certified chimney lining system passing through an unused masonry chimney flue shall not be considered to be exposed to the outdoors. The DP column shall be used to determine the capacity of a venting system within a building constructed in accordance with Clause 8.2.1, C23 If the vent or vent connector size, determined from the tables, is smaller than the appliance draft-hood outlet or flue collar, the smaller size may be used, provided that a) the total vent height (H) is at least 10 ft (3 m); ») _ vents or vent connectors for appliance draft-hood outlets or flue collars 12 in (305 mm) in diameter ‘or smaller are not reduced more than one table size [e.g., 12 in (305 mm) to 10 in (254 mm) is a one-size reduction]; ¢) vents or vent connectors for appliance draft-hood outlets or flue collars above 12 in (305 mm) in diameter are not reduced more than two table sizes {e.g., 24 in (610 mm) to 20 in (508 mm) is @ ‘two-size reduction]; @) the maximum capacity listed in the tables for a fan-assisted appliance is reduced by 10% (calculated as 0.90 x maximum capacity); and ©) _ the draft-hood outlet is greater than 4 in (102 mm) in diameter. For example, a3 in (76 mm) diameter vent or vent connector shall not be connected to a 4 in (102 mmn) diameter draft hood. ‘outlet. This provision shall not apply to fan-assisted appliances. C24 A single-appliance venting configuration with zero lateral lengths is assumed to have no elbows in the vent system in Tables C.1 and €.2. For all other vent configurations of single or multiple appliances, each Neat connector shall be assumed to have two 90° turns. For each additional 90° turn or its equivalent*, the maximum capacity of each individual vent connector listed in the venting table should be reduced by 10% (calculated as 0.90 x maximum listed capacity) for a natural draft appliance and 15% for a fan- assisted appliance. Except for manifolded common vents (see Figure C.9), the final turn into the vertical vent shall be counted as one 90° turn for each vent connector. Note: *Two 45* turns are equivalent to one 90° turn. C25 {fF vent connectors are combined prior to entering the common vent, the maximum common vent ‘pacity listed in the common venting tables shall be reduced by 10%, the equivalent of one 90° elbow (0.90 x maximum common vent capacity). See Figure C.9. The horizontal length of the common vent Connector manifold (Lin Figure C.9) should not exceed 1-1/2 ft (457 mm) for each inch (25.4 mm) of ‘common vent connector manifold diameter. 276 © 2020 Canadian Standards Association January 20205 a g \W Y'STT = (80'€ x 2) + (80°€ x £) + OOT :Smojjoj $e aq jim 438U9) 1Ua}eAinba [e302 up ‘Sanjea Bnjd oma Pue Smog2 ,06 pYepUErS Basu BUINEY adid y SEN Jo WOOT S@AjOAU) Wa|goud au J ‘SMU ajGeL SIM U SnoUeA Jo} Moje 02 s2z38u4 Ul yABUa] ayy Panjonu! adid Jo YAU jendDe ay3 03 ppe “Ya#UB| Uajenmnba [e201 aya ulexgo OL Zuo! 12348 fo 2043 voy ssay $1 201d $8049 10 Jadoo fo auauy sad aoueissay ‘aid 2948 J0f 210 Ya4m “yQoy aya Uy Sanjn ayn uoya 49Bu0) 36S» SO uayDs 2q prnoys acid fo ysBuay uayonmb (Pepnpuo9) (4 Tra aged, January 2020 © 2020 Canadian Standards Association 2725 5 ) ' (panupuog) 3 : 997 se 60 ora eer L6'se vez oy vee 60T eee © § g see wz sows Sor wea ser see set woe wee : we ez eo sey eset est we est exo oses z we eT ero we 89 ze a st eT sro 6807 UT = ore, 8st zwo wz ws cgTr sot ore sot 60 so'se wet = oot ott zo 080 «tse oot ns t E set wo sO wave] we = 60 wo ero et 997 aes avo 60 “vo wo os'st at & sco 980 sto vor 60% ary “eo seo “0 sro ws we 8 7 uuu (p) or 2 ~] GA Q O QF wisasin amos) abe a 09 s+ a freee oe 09 0 * Gionera7du ai sete st 5 60a oo wo woo 8 ~2nTW_paBog zt yoy uy oqo mig SC 06 ~SCS 8 T=§p/h8 Sus smoqia s001 SurpIom (PapreH 20 ‘paBuey ‘papeann) soaTeA jsdumny papeasy s 3 sSaajour UT adid 3y8eys Jo yySuay 5 quayeamba wy passoadxe ouedosd pur se eangeu 0 soayea pur ‘sBumny ‘spuag jo aourys|soy s a (a tra ae, 8‘Natural gas anus propane instillation code CSA B149.1:20 (panuyquog) 24a Yanamoy ‘Senjon su 10 saddle 404 “p99 pun sBupiyf sug 10 saddo Joff20un220 a/gouos024 yal pasn 24 Ubd sanfon y26us) ajonnbs au ‘CuIpoay aygay ay wey poss ‘u Aq 22af vy Jarewiop Janss0 ays 40 ‘21/4 Aq 32af usd 243 fo 12}2W/Yp aps Jon320 aya BUMYGrynus fq apoul 3q AOL aa ‘paus09 51 ua uajonnba Jofvonnjosayiaadsauow 0 2124 ‘36d Jo saynpayos 1ayz0 Byajonulsesodund ysou sof yBnoua aso 5 yoIym ‘adhd aes (ayBlom-psopuo%s) OF ainpayes fo 1013 0: spuodse1s00 eiewiyp apisu ays roy 5/509 aya Uo pexnduios uBeq anDy a}qo] aya uj UmoYS 229{u sypBveyYUB}onInbe oul T@ON ‘sanyon w anogo aya wou parnduoa 2q ued sf pesseidva aoucisis a4) 's18}2uIp 3p/u) J2yi0 CulADY add Joy 2224 v add fo aiawepappsu = q puD 109fu) add ayBlos! oF anpayrs fo Wb ‘a/ =u '$c00'0 29 01 paunsso 5) 2oI20f uoauf ays sz04m Jo/y = u uO;RO(as ays Wouf parndwod ‘sald JyBjoxIs fo siayaui0}p fo Jaquind suafonnt “ad aya fo J2}2woyp su aun ox smpos pag io magia aus fo Oeuf 2786 ‘pueg aus fo yxbua erin ays pepo aq pncys itu 01 'auopoainionmno os an 2oUbie, bua oy) ouB Sain yNGeA “sBujay{ papoauys fo aounys)sas ay3 syunof-sa.ys ancy sBulnif pabuojy 4 ‘Bu Pepeeiyi sof sanjen asm ‘payanisqo Aygoizxddo jf s6ul1 Bup}20g 10 4xxods pla Aq paiznssq0 Jou s] 2109 aya Lay suojypUOD Jof 210 sBuY papjam Jofsanion « ese eat So's ose oo ont ot ese st Bes “os s acd rst so ose oss zr ror zoe ror ou > G : i 7 ‘add yeuyion 09, sb a £8 19r eee 08 09) of + Grones a/1) u at set 9e0 st s or oo at oo wo 4019} ¥, een paB10g z/t — ypoys oyu agony) nla eal, 06 Sh “T= $p/d Buys. smoqia seer SupIem —$spuaq (popiem 10 ‘pafiuey ‘papeasmp) soajen +sumy tpoows popeosiy pue smoqio Bupprem 206 (papnpouod) (e Tr'a ages.

Where a more specific solution for equivalent length is desired, this may be computed by multiplying the actual inside diameter of the pipe in inches by n/12, or the actual inside diameter in feet by "n” (“n” is a heading in Table B.11). The equivalent length values can be used with reasonable accuracy for copper or brass fittings and bends. For copper or brass valves, however, the equivalent length of pipe should be taken as 45% longer than the values in Table 8.11, which are for steel pipe. Resistance per foot of copper or brass pipe is less than that of steel. * From Crocker (1945). Table XIV, pp. 100-101.

Calculate the propane demand in terms of Btu/h (kW) for each piping system outlet. B33 Determine the design system pressure, the allowable loss in pressure (pressure drop), and the relative density of propane to be used in the piping or tubing system. B34 Measure the length of piping or tubing from the point of delivery to the most remote outlet building. the B35 In the appropriate capacity table, select the row showing the measured length, or the next larger length if the table does not give the exact length.

A.4 Bends, fittings, and valves expressed in equivalent lengths in feet of straight pipe ‘The equivalent lengths in feet shown in Table A.16* have been computed on the basis that the inside diameter corresponds to that of Schedule 40 (standard-weight) steel pipe, which is close enough for most purposes to that of other schedules of pipe. Where a more specific equivalent length is desired, this may be computed by multiplying the actual inside diameter of the pipe in inches by n/12, or the actual inside diameter in feet by “n” (“n” is a heading in Table A.16). The equivalent length values can be used with reasonable accuracy for copper or brass fittings and bends. For copper or brass valves, however, the equivalent length of pipe should be taken as 45% longer than the values in Table A.16, which are for steel pipe. Resistance per foot of copper or brass pipe is less than that of steel * From Crocker (1945), Table XV, pp. 100-101.

ABZ Determine the gas demand of each appliance to be attached to the piping or tubing system. Calculate the gas demand in terms of Btu/h (kW) for each piping system outlet. A33 Determine the design system pressure, the allowable loss in pressure (pressure drop), and the relative density of the gas to be used in the piping or tubing system. A34 Measure the length of piping or tubing from the point of delivery to the most remote out building the ABS In the appropriate capacity table, select the row showing the measured length, or the next larger length if the table does not give the exact length. This is the only length used in determining the size of any section of piping or tubing. If the relative density factor is to be applied, the values in the selected column of the table are multiplied by the appropriate multiplier from Table A.15.
