| I'm adding gas service to my home.
Uses:
Service line is at 2PSI. What size do I need to safely pull 500k BTU of gas? I'm thinking since the cost is no different, I would be better off going larger if it's even remotely close to a borderline. |
Follow-Up Postings:
|
| Whomever is installing the line should be sizing it. |
|
| You should discuss this with the gas company. They have to ensure they are supplying enough gas to your house up to the meter. I would think you need at least a one inch gas line coming into the house. |
|
| You need to layout exact location and how many ft. go to engineering tool box and start desiging from meter on each appliance. In jersey i have to provide a layout to the township with total btu as well as the gas co. If you go the gas co. with no experiance. they wont help do to liability. |
