1. Gas furnace [120,000 Btu/hr. [127 Mj/hr., 35.2 kW]]
2. Gas water heaters [400,000 Btu/hr. [422 Mj/hr., 117.2 kW] each]
3. Gas space heaters [70,000 Btu/hr. [79 Mj/hr., 20.5 kW] each]
4. Sediment traps, supply pressure taps and shut-off valves. Refer to Figure 22 .
5. 1 in. [25.4 mm] gas pipe loop
6. 19 ft. [5.8 m]
7. Minimum Pipe Size is 0.5 in. [12.7 mm]
8. 25 ft. [7.6 m]
9. Main regulator
10. Gas meter
11. Pressure regulator (if required)
12. 050 series tumble dryers = 130,000 Btu/hr. [137 Mj/hr., 38.1 kW] each; 075 series tumble dryers = 165,000 Btu/hr. [174 Mj/hr.,
48.359 kW] each; F75 series tumble dryers = 225,000 Btu/hr. [237 Mj/hr., 65.94 kW] each
SAMPLE CALCULATIONS:
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 050 series tumble
dryers being fed by the main gas supply pipe.
= 9 x 130,000 [137, 38.1]

Figure 23
= 1,170,000 Btu/hr. [1,234 Mj/hr., 342.9 kW]
Using Table 5 and Table 6 , the main supply pipe diameter
should be 2 in. [51 mm].
IMPORTANT: Gas loop piping must be installed as il-
lustrated to equalize gas pressure for all tumble dryers
connected to single gas service. Other gas using appli-
ances should be connected upstream from loop.
