Notes:
1. Table is based upon specific gravity of 0.60. Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, Z223.1, unless superseded by local gas codes.
2. If more than one unit is served by the same main gas supply, consider the total gas input (cubic feet/hr.) and the total length when determining the appropriate gas
pipe size.
3. Obtain the Specific Gravity and BTU/Cu.Ft. from the gas company.
4. The following example demonstrates the considerations necessary when determining the actual pipe size:
Example: A 40' pipe run is needed to connect a unit with a 850 MBH furnace to a natural gas supply having a rating of 1,000 BTU/Cu.Ft. and a specific gravity of
0.60
Cu.Ft/Hour = Furnace MBH Input
Gas BTU/Cu.Ft. X Multiplier
Cu.Ft/Hour = 850
The above table indicates that a 2" pipe is required.

Note: Orifice sizes required to reduce input ratings by 4% per every 1000' above 2000' per the National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1.
