EXAMPLE
Rinnai Model Gas Input:
199,000
A
Additional Appliance total Gas Input:
65,000
B
Heating Value of Gas:
1,000
C
Cubic Feet Per Hour (CFH):
A
(CFH) =
199,000+65,000
(CFH) =
1000
ANSWER:
= 264
CFH
For this example, the pipe diameter
must be at least 1/2 in. nominal
pipe size and 20 ft (6 m) in length.
