Typical House Piping System/Appliances
1,600 square foot home uses approximately 250′ CSST gas pipe.
Gas appliances
- Gas furnace
- Gas water heater
- Gas dryer
- Gas range
Two Examples of 2-PSI Piping System Configurations:
- Run 2psi to each appliance using ½” CSST pipe and install a 325–3L regulator directly in front of each appliance to reduce gas pressure to 7” or 8” w.c.
Approximate costs:
325–3L Gas Pressure Regulators: 4 x $30.00 = $120.00
250’ ½” CSST: $1.60 per ft. x 250’ = $400.00
Total: $520.00 *
- Use one 325–5L regulator after the meter to reduce gas pressure to 7” or 8” w.c. and use ¾” CSST pipe to each appliance.
Approximate costs:
325–5L Gas Pressure Regulator: 1 x $100.00 = $100.00
250’ ¾” CSST: $2.60 per ft. x 250’ = $650.00
Total: $750.00 *
Example Material Cost Savings: $230.00
