| 2020-08-29 13:04:34 | IN SIZING A GAS LINE FOR THE ADDITION OF A NEW |
| | APPLIANCE WE MUST LOOK AT THE EXISTING GAS SYSTEM. IF |
| | WE CHANGE THE GAS PIPING SYSTEM WE MUST MAKE SURE THAT |
| | THE ENTIRE SYSTEM CAN CONTINUE TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. WE |
| | CANNOT JUST TIE INTO AN EXISTING GAS LINE WITHOUT |
| | RESIZING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. BELOW IS A LIST OF ITEMS |
| | THAT MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE SUBMITTALS FOR AN ADDITION |
| | OF AN APPLIANCE TO AN EXISTING GAS LINE. |
| | |
| | 1) PROVIDE THE EXISTING SYSTEMS OPERATING PRESSURE. |
| | |

| | PROVIDE NEW OPERATING PRESSURE OF SYSTEM. |
| | |

| | ENTIRE GAS SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | 4) PROVIDE THE GAS TABLES THAT WERE USED TO SIZE THE |
| | ENTIRE GAS SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | 5) PROVIDE A CLEAR DIAGRAM SHOWING THE ATTACHMENT POINT |
| | WHERE THE NEW LINE CONNECTS TO THE EXISTING GAS LINE. |
| | PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE PIPING FROM THE GAS METER |
| | TO THIS CONNECTION POINT MUST BE SIZED FOR THE ENTIRE |
| | GAS SYSTEM, INCLUDING BOTH THE EXISTING GAS LINE AND |
| | THE NEW GAS LINE TO THE NEW APPLIANCE. |
| | |
| | 6) PROVIDE A LEGIBLE DRAWING SHOWING EACH APPLIANCE, |
| | PIPE SIZES, TYPE OF MATERIAL FOR PIPING, DISTANCES, |
| | SHUT OFF VALVES AND REGULATORS. THE DRAWING MUST |
