After determining the length of pipe required select the pipe size that will supply the cubic feet per hour of gas required for the input rating of the Continuum 2424WC. The formula for figuring the cubic feet per hour required is:
CFH = Gas Input of Continuum 2424(BTU/HR)
Heating Value of Gas(BTU/FT3)
*Gas input requirement is on the water heater data plate
*The heating value of the gas can be obtained from the local Natural Gas Utility
