After determining the length of pipe required select the pipe size that will supply the
cubic feet per hour of gas required for the input rating of the Continuum V2532W
.
The formula for figuring the cubic feet per hour required is:
Gas Input of Continuum V2532W(BTU/HR)
CFH =
Heating Value of Gas(BTU/FT
3
)
*Gas input requirement is on the water heater data plate
*The heating value of the gas can be obtained from the local Natural Gas Utility

(table assumes 11 inches of water column pressure at the inlet, .5 inch drop)
NOTE: Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54, for capacity tables for pipe
materials other than “Black Iron Pipe”.
