Based on Energy Content of 1,000BTU/Cubic Ft:
Divide each appliance’s BTU requirement by 1,000BTU to get
the appliances Cubic Ft. requirement.
Take into account the distance the appliance is from the gas
meter, look in the above gas chart to properly size the line.
For sections of the gas line supplying gas to more than one
appliance (Ex: Point A to Point B), add up the cubic ft.
requirements of the appliances that are being supplied by that
section, and size to the farthest appliance.
For Example: The section from A to B supplies gas to the
furnace, range, and dryer. Adding up the BTU requirements and
dividing by 1,000 yields a cubic ft. requirement of 220 cubic ft. of
gas. The farthest appliance is the range, which is 50 ft. away
from the meter. Looking at the above chart, and under the
column of 50ft., Section A to B needs to be 1” in order to supply
220 cubic ft.
