Table 3. Maximum Undiluted Propane (LP) Delivery Capacity in Thousands of
BtuH (0.5” WC Pressure Drop) [Schedule 40 Metalic Pipe]
For reference only. Please consult gas pipe manufacturer for actual pipe capacities.
Final Check
When the installation is complete, verify that inlet gas pressure for the entire gas system does not
drop below 5” WC for NG or 8” WC for LP at all appliances. This can be tested by turning on all
gas burning appliances including the water heater, then check the inlet pressure at each appliance
to verify all appliances are receiving a minimum of 5” WC for NG or 8” WC for LP. If all appliances
are not receiving the minimum inlet pressure the gas piping system may need to be changed.
