3. LP (Liquid Propane) Gas Pipe Sizing
The following is intended for use for piping between a Single or Second Stage (Low Pressure) Regulator and the water heater. The following
tables list maximum capacity of pipe in cubic feet of gas per hour for an inlet pressure of 14" water column and specic pressure drop of 0.5
inches (0.12 kPa) water column based on 1.5 specic gravity for liquid propane.
1. The gas connection fitting on the water heater is ¾" (1.9 cm) female NPT. NOTE: The pipe size must not be less than ¾" (1.9 cm).
2. The supply line must be sized for the maximum output of the water heater being installed. If there are additional gas appliances from the
main supply line, measure the size of the supply line according to the COMBINED total maximum BTUH draw for the appliances as if they were
operating at the same time.
3. Measure the length of the gas supply line from the gas meter to the water heater. Water heater must be installed downstream of the gas
meter to ensure adequate gas supply. Use the tables in this manual or refer to the gas line manufacturer’s sizing information to determine the
correct supply pipe size.
4. A manual gas shut-off valve should be installed in the gas supply line close to the water heater. See Figure 18 for detail.
5. To facilitate any future maintenance, it is also recommended that an approved gas union fitting be installed in the supply line between the
shut-off valve and the ¾" (1.9 cm) female NPT connection on the water heater.
