I have to run a gas pipe for a new gas fireplace. In the house the pipe is 1 inch from the meter for about 20 feet and then ¾ about ten feet to the heater, water, heater and another 15 feet to a dryer. The gas fireplace is about 25 feet from the heater. Is it ok to run ¾ inch pipe to that unit or is there some point where I need to go down to ½ inch. Is cost the only reason why they down sized to ¾ from 1 inch. I could see that there might be a problem using the ½ inch not being able to supply the volume of gas but ¾ shouldn't be a problem, correct?
