1 in. (25.4 mm) Pipe for Gas Loop
30 Pound Tumblers (73,000 Btu/hr each)

19 ft. (5.8 m)
T30 Tumblers (73,000 Btu/hr each)

Minimum pipe size to tumbler is 0.5 in. (12.7 mm).
35 Pound Tumblers (90,000 Btu/hr each)
SAMPLE CALCULATIONS:
Equivalent length = Total length of main gas supply pipe to the far end of the tumblers.
= 25 ft. + 19 ft. (7.6 m + 5.8 m) gas supply pipe
= 44 ft
= 44 ft
.
(13.4 m) Total Gas Line
Total Btu/hr
= The sum of the Btu/hr of all 30 pound tumblers being fed by the main gas supply pipe.
= 9 x 73,000
= 657,000 Btu/hr
= 9 x 73,000
= 657,000 Btu/hr
Using Table 6, the main supply pipe diameter should be 2 in. (51 mm).
IMPORTANT: Gas pipe loop 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.
