Gas Requirements
Gas Supply Pipe Sizing and Looping
Equivalent length = Total length of main gas supply pipe to the far end of the tumble dryers.
= 25 ft. + 19 ft. (7.6 m + 5.8 m) gas supply pipe
= 44 ft. (13.4 m) Total Gas Line
Total Btu/hr. = The sum of the Btu/hr. of all 030 series tumble dryers being fed by the main gas supply pipe.
= 9 x 73,000 (21.4)
= 657,000 Btu/hr. (192.6 kW)
Using Gas Pipe Size Required for 1000 Btu Natural Gas — , the main supply pipe diameter should be 2 in. (51 mm).
IMPORTANT: Gas loop piping must be installed as illustrated to equalize gas pressure for all tumble dryers
connected to single gas service. Other gas using appliances should be connected upstream from loop.

12 025 series tumble dryers = 64,000 Btu/hr. (67.52 Mj/hr., 18.7 kW) each; 030 series tumble dryers = 73,000 Btu/hr.
(77.02 Mj/hr., 21.4 kW) each; 035 series tumble dryers =90,000 Btu/hr. (94.95 Mj/hr., 26.4 kW) each; Stacked 30 series
tumble dryers = 73,000 Btu/hr. (77.02 Mj/hr., 21.4 kW) per pocket; 146,000 total Btu/hr. (154.03 Mj/hr., 42.8 kW) for
machine; Stacked 45 series tumble dryers = 95,000 Btu/hr. (100.23 Mj/hr., 27.8 kW) per pocket; 190,000 total Btu/hr.
(200.45 Mj/hr., 55.6 kW) for machine; 055 series tumble dryers = 112,000 Btu/hr. (118.16 Mj/hr., 32.8 kW) each
