GAS PIPING
A properly sized gas supply system is essential for
maximum oven performance. Piping should be
sized to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet
the maximum demand of all appliances on the line
without loss of pressure at the equipment.
Example:
NOTE: BTU values in the following example are
for natural gas.
You purchase a ZephaireĆG convection oven to
add to your existing cook line.
1. Add the BTU rating of your current appliances.
Pitco Fryer 120,000 BTU
6 Burner Range 60,000 BTU
Deck Oven 50,000 BTU
Total 230,000 BTU
2. Add the BTU rating of the new oven to the toĆ
tal.
Previous Total 230,000 BTU
ZephaireĆG 60,000 BTU
New Total 290,000 BTU
3. Measure the distance from the gas meter to
the cook line. This is the pipe length. Let's say
the pipe length is 40' (12.2 m) and the pipe
size is 1" (2.54 cm).
4. Use the appropriate table to determine the toĆ
tal capacity of your current gas piping.
The total capacity for this example is 320,000
BTU. Since the total required gas pressure,
290,000 BTU is less than 320,000 BTU, the
current gas piping will not have to be inĆ
creased.
NOTE: The BTU capacities given in the tables are
for straight pipe lengths only. Any elbows
or other fittings will decrease pipe capaciĆ
ties. Contact your local gas supplier if you
have any questions.
