Hello all,
I wondered if someone could explain pressure drop in terms of sizing lines for natural gas. Ive received some mixed info. Am wanting to run CSST to a range that has 44,700 BTUs for the burners and up to 14000 BTUs on bake. My inlet pressure is 6” water column and the line will be just under 50’ from the meter. My range says it needs 4”wc and has a regulator built in. Looking at the charts for Sizing, you have the option for 0.5” wc and so on. It seems like most people recommend using the 0.5”wc pressure drop chart. If I use that chart I would need to run 3/4” CSSt, but if it were any of the others 1/2” csst looks like it would be ok.
