Gas Connection - Blodgett 1060 Installation Operation & Maintenance

GAS PIPING
A properly sized gas supply system is essential for
maximum oven performance. Piping should be
sized to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet
the maximum demand of all appliances on the line
without loss of pressure at the equipment.
Example:
NOTE: BTU values in the following example are
for natural gas.
You purchase a 1060-BL deck oven to add to your
existing cook line.
1. Add the BTU rating of your current appliances.
Pitco Fryer
6 Burner Range
Convection Oven
Total
2. Add the BTU rating of the new oven to the to-
tal.

New Total
3. Measure the distance from the gas meter to
the cook line. This is the pipe length. Let's say
the pipe length is 40' (12.2 m) and the pipe
size is 1" (2.54 cm).
4. Use the appropriate table to determine the to-
tal capacity of your current gas piping.
The total capacity for this example is 320,000
BTU. Since the total required gas pressure,
315,000 BTU is less than 320,000 BTU, the
current gas piping will not have to be in-
creased.
NOTE: The BTU capacities given in the tables are
for straight pipe lengths only. Any elbows
or other fittings will decrease pipe capaci-
ties. Contact your local gas supplier if you
have any questions.
