Thanks for the comment and question, James, it helps us realize where we need to work on making our text more clear or more complete. With LP I'd use 3/8 copper flex for the dryer and stove and the 1/2 inch called for for the water heater, BUT, I need to get enough volume first so how should I proceed? All of the answers on your site deal with pressure and THAT is not the issue here!įorgot my contact info: to enlarge any image] Reply:
#Flex type gas pipe install#
If I was using NG, i'd install at least a ten foot piece of 1 1/4 black pipe to build up the volume and then run 1/2 inch Ts with 1/2 inch pipe to the appliances. Instead of running 1/2 inch copper flex with Ts to each appliance, do i need to increase the volume in the system to have enough gas to feed all three appliances. I need to feed a 30 inch 5 burner gas stove with a convection oven, a gas clothes dryer and a tankless 10L water heater that has a 1/2 inch gas inlet. The lines from the tanks to the valve are 1/8th inch. I'm am NOT talking about pressure here! That stated, my supply is two 100 lb tanks with an "automatic switch over valve". I was taught to ALWAYS use copper flex with LP gas and black pipe with NG. Gas Piping Materials, Sizes, Codes, Specifications for LP or Natural Gas in Residential Systems Question: James W. We also provide an ARTICLE INDEX for this topic, or you can try the page top or bottom SEARCH BOX as a quick way to find information you need. Since there several ways that people express gas pressures we include more than on description of common LP gas or natural gas system operating pressures in this article.
