FOR NATURAL GAS
Maximum Capacity of pipe in Cubic Feet of Gas per Hour for Gas Pressure of 0.5 Psig or less and a Pressure drop
of 0.3 in Water Column (0.75mbar).(Based on a 0.60 Specific Gravity Gas) Btu numbers given in thousands.
Copper tubing is prohibited for use with Natural Gas in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and not recommended
elsewhere.
Follow boxed numbers for piping just one AQ125 BO (example: 3/4"B.I. Natural Gas pipe for 20 ft (6.1m). will I
handle 190,000 btu's (55.7 kWh). For multiple appliances combine the total btu input load and then refer to
applicable chart below.
