Gas appliances are sized for about 6" water column. I doubt that a 3/4" main line is adequate for the system you are describing, although it make work marginally, unless you do run it at a very high pressure. Have your utility check its pressure and if they keep it at 12", install secondary regulators on all your appliances. : After installing 3/4" lines throughout the home, plus furnace(125, BTU),waterheater,cooktop and dryer should the gas presure checked? At the moment it's 12 inches by the "water colume test", whats correct? Thanks
