: I need to run a stretch of gas line in my garage for
: a gas dryer. There is already gas in the garage for
: the central heat and the dryer is only located about
: six or seven feet away. The furnace is fed by black
: pipe coming into the garage with a shutoff valve
: to which is connected the flex tubing going to the
: furnace. : My question is, if I connect a tee downstream of the
: valve and run a stretch of flex tubing over to the
: gas dryer (I'll add an additional shutoff valve
: just before going into the dryer) will I get enough
: flow rate for the furnace and the dryer to run
: properly? Or, should I put a tee in the black pipe
: and run black pipe over to the dryer followed by a
: shutoff valve just before the dryer? : I appreciate any suggestions here..... 121 0.0 Material For Gas Piping

1217.0 Required Gas Piping Size
1217.1 Where The Maximum Demand Does Not Exceed Two Hundred Fifty
(250) Cubic Feet Per Hour (2 L/Sec.) And The Maximum Length Of Piping
Between The Meter And The Most Distant Outlet Is Not Over Two Hundred Fifty
(250) Feet (76 M), The Size Of Each Section And Each Outlet Of Any System Of Gas
Piping Shall Be Determined By Means Of Table 12-3. Other Systems Within
The Range Of Table 12-3 May Be Sized From That Table Or By Means Of The
Methods Set Forth In Section 1217.3.
1217.2 To Determine The Size Of Each Section Of Pipe In Any System Within
The Range Of Table 12-3, Proceed As Follows:
(1) Measure The Length Of The Pipe From The Gas Meter Location To The
Most Remote Outlet On The System.
(2) In Table 12-3 Select The Column Showing That Distance, Or The Next
Longer Distance If The Table Does Not Give The Exact Length.
(3) Starting At The Most Remote Outlet, Find In The Vertical Column Just
Selected The Gas Demand For That Outlet. If The Exact Figure Of Demand Is
Not Shown, Choose The Next Larger Figure Below In The Column.
(4) Opposite This Demand Figure, In The First Column At The Left In Table
12-3 Will Be Found The Correct Size Of Pipe.
Fuel Piping 1217.2 - 1218.4 (5) Using This Same Vertical Column, Proceed In A Similar Manner For
Each Section Of Pipe Serving This Outlet. For Each Section Of Pipe,
Determine The Total Gas Demand Supplied By That Section. Where Gas
Piping Sections Serve Both Heating And Cooling Equipment And The
Installation Prevents Both Units From Operating Simultaneously, Only The
Larger Of The Two Demand Loads Need Be Used In Sizing These Sections.
(6) Size Each Section Of Branch Piping Not Previously Sized By
Measuring The Distance From The Gas Meter Location To The Most Remote
Outlet In That Branch And Follow The Procedures Of Steps 2, 3, 4, And 5
Above.
Note: Size Branch Piping In The Order Of Their Distance From The Meter
Location, Beginning With The Most Distant Outlet Not Previously Sized.
1217.3 For Conditions Other Than Those Covered By Section 1217.1, Such As
Longer Runs Or Greater Gas Demands, The Size Of Each Gas Piping System Shall
Be Determined By Standard Engineering Methods Acceptable To The
Administrative Authority And Each Such System Shall Be So Designed That
The Total Pressure Drop Between The Meter Or Other Point Of Supply And Any
Outlet When Full Demand Is Being Supplied To All Outlets, Will At No Time
Exceed Five-Tenths (0.5) Inches (12.7 Mm) Water Column Pressure.
1217.4 Where The Gas Pressure May Be Higher Than Fourteen (14) Inches
(355.6 Mm) Or Lower Than Six (6) Inches Of Water Column, Or
When Diversity Demand Factors Are Used, The Design, Pipe, Sizing, Materials,
Location, And Use Of Such Systems First Shall Be Approved By The
Administrative Authority. Piping Systems Designed For Pressures Higher
Than The Serving Gas Supplier'S Standard Delivery Pressure Shall Have Prior
Verification From The Gas Supplier Of The Availability Of The Design Pressure.
Systems Using Undiluted Liquefied Petroleum Gas May Be Sized Using Table
12-7 For Eleven (11) Inches (279.4 Mm) Water Column And In Accordance With
The Provisions Of Sections 1217.1 And 1217.2.
