Singular Combi Boiler - BTC 439003301 B (2021/07)
5 Connecting the Gas Supply
5.1 Gas Pipe Sizing Tables
Gas pipe sizing is based on the gas type, supplied gas pressure, pressure drop in
the system, and gas line type. The tables below are for reference only (when the
gas supply is piping straight to the boiler with no connections to any other gas
appliances). For gas pipe sizing, refer to the latest National Fuel Gas code, NFPA 54
and consult the gas pipe manufacturer for actual gas pipe capacities.
Natural Gas
Maximum Capacity of Natural Gas Based on a 0.60 specifi c gravity at a 0.5" WC
pressure drop.
