IMPORTANT: Line pressure must be maintained at 6-1/2 ± 1-1/2 water 
column inches for Natural Gas (10 ± 1-1/2 water column inches for L.P. Gas) 
with all gas appliances running (tumblers, water heaters, space heaters, furnace, etc.).
An in-line pressure regulator may be required on Natural Gas models if the line 
pressure exceeds eight water column inches pressure with all gas appliances firing.
NOTE: Minimum pipe size to 
tumbler is 1/2 inch (1.27 cm).

IMPORTANT: Gas loop piping must be installed as illustrated to 
equalize gas pressure for all tumblers connected to single gas service. 
Other gas using appliances should be connected upstream from loop.

SAMPLE CALCULATIONS:
Equivalent Length
=
Total length of main gas supply pipe from the 
gas meter to the far end of the tumbler dryers
=
25 ft + 19 ft (7.62 meters + 5.79 meters)
44 ft (13.41 meters)
Total BTU/HR
=
The sum of the BTU/HR of all tumblers being 
fed by the main gas supply pipe
18 x 75,000
=
1,350,000
Using the table in Figure 7, the main supply pipe diameter should be 
2-1/2 in (6.35 cm).
