to SIze PIPInG:
Measure linear distance from meter outlet to
last boiler. Add total input of all boilers and
divide by 1000 to obtain cu ft / hr required.
Add total equivalent length of fittings used
according to Table 6B. Align total length (pipe
and fittings) on left side column of Table 6C
with highest cubic feet of gas required.
notes:
Consult and confirm with Applicable Fuel
Gas Code before beginning work.
Verify gas inlet pressure is between 4 and 13
in W.C. before starting boiler.
