I am installing a new gas line to convert my electric dryer to a gas dryer. I have done gas line work before and understand the processes and risks. I just need help to make sure that I am supplying enough gas to my appliances. I am going to try and explain my system as best as possible.
Starting at the meter I have a 1" main that supplies all my appliances. 14.5' from the main I have a tee that I will use for my dryer. 5 additional feet I have stubbed a line for my range. 6 additional feet I have a line stubbed to my furnace. At this point my main ends and is reduced to a 3/4" line to my instant hot water heater.
The run to the range/oven is 20.5' @ 1/2"
The run to the furnace is 3.5' @ 3/4", then 2' @ 1/2"
The run to the instant hot water heater is 21.75' @ 3/4"
The pipe in question is the new one to my Dryer this will be 28 feet at either 1/2" or 3/4"? This is where I need help.
My furnace has an input rating of 66,000 - 45,000 BTU/hr
My instant hot water has an input rating of 180,000 max - 15,000 min. BTU/hr.
I am not sure about the range/oven, but it is a standard four burner range and oven.
The gas dryer I just bought is a standard 7.0 cubic foot dryer. I am not sure the BTUs.
Sorry for the long message, but I have noticed from previous listings that more info is always needed.
Thanks,
Nick
