Pipe Sizing Procedure - Example
1. Determine the cubic feet per hour of gas required by dividing the gas input (on the rating plate) by the heating
value of the gas (available from the local gas company). The gas input needs to include all gas products at
the location and the maximum BTU usage at full load when all gas products are in use.
the location and the maximum BTU usage at full load when all gas products are in use.
Gas Input of Rinnai water heater (BTU / HR)
Cubic Feet per Hour (CFH) =
Heating Value of Gas (BTU / FT
3
)
2. Use the table for your gas type to find the pipe size required for your cubic feet per hour of gas and your pipe
length.
Example: The heating value of propane gas for your location is 2516 BTU / FT
3
. The gas input of the R94LSe
is 199,000 BTU/HR. Additional appliances at the location require 75,000 BTU/HR.
Therefore the cubic feet per hour = (199,000+75,000) / 2516 = 108.9 FT
3
/ HR.
If the pipe length is 100 ft then the 3/4 inch pipe size capable of supplying 197 FT
3
/ HR of propane gas
will be adequate.

The gas supply must be capable of handling the entire gas load at the location. Gas line sizing is based on gas
type, the pressure drop in the system, the gas pressure supplied, and gas line type. Refer to the National Fuel
Gas Code, NFPA 54, for proper gas line sizing. The below information is provided as an example.
