*Total length of piping from outlet of first stage regulator to inlet of second stage regulator (or to inlet of second stage regulator furthest away).

Notes: 1) To allow 2 PSIG pressure drop, multiply total gas demand by .707, and use capacities from table.

2)For different first stage pressures, multiply total gas demand by the following factors, and use capacities from table.
