The natural gas main line size for the AGI D1660 depends on the required flow rate (in MMBTU/Hr) and the piping length. According to the context, you should:

1. Determine the MAX burner output from the Standard Model Specifications.
2. Use the flow rate and a 1 psi pressure drop to select the pipe size from the provided table.

For example:
- At 100 ft piping length and 1 psi pressure drop, a 1" NPT pipe supports up to 37.33 MMBTU/Hr.
- A 1-1/4" NPT supports up to 109.41 MMBTU/Hr.

The exact line size depends on the system's required capacity.
