I am building a new house right now (I mean I am building it with the help of my dad) I can do pretty much everything with no problems, but I am a little worried about properly sizing the propane line. I found one guide online that helped, but it was not 100% clear. I live in Texas and I am way out in the sticks, so I am not sure if that matters. I need to fuel 440,000 BTUs worth of stuff in my home. I am thinking I need 1 1/4 inch pipe coming in, but man that is a serious pipe. I will have a two regulator setup one coming off the tank and one at the entrance to the house. My understanding from the propane company is they will be running high pressure to the house so I am not sure if I should count the distance from the tank to the house in my equation. If I remove that length of pipe I can go with a 1†pipe I think.
So I guess I really have two questions.
1. Do I need to count the distance from the tank to the house since they will be running high pressure to the house?
2. Do you know where I can find a really good guide to help me size my line?
Of course, if anyone on the board could help me size the line I would be very grateful. If you are local to my area I would be willing to pay someone to come out and evaluate my needs.
