I just bought a Vermont Castings VCS5007
ers running. =A0Another 15,000 when the side burner is on. =A0I used it ton= ight for the 1st time and found that there was not much difference between = the flame when the valves are on high or on low. =A0I was wondering if this= could be due to the gas pipe size. =A0From the meter it is 1/2" and the ru= n is about 30'. =A0Do I need to go to 3/4" pipe? =A0Thx Gary
Gary-
There was recent thread on this issue.,,,but I had a hard time finding it
subject was
gas pipe size
Ed Pawlowski posted a link to very useful document
Not knowing the exact layout of your gas lines & appliances...I would say that a 1/2" in your situation is probably ok but close. depends on what else is on that gas line & whether is was running at the time of your "test". Water heater? Furnace?
But in any case you should follow the example in the document & determine whether your gas distribution system is up to its task.
cheers Bob
You need about 59 cfh of gas. At 30', you should be able to get 90 cfh.
Was the grill properly set up for natural gas? Proper regulator and orifices?
Yup, I bought it with the natural gas conversion kit.
