Determining the correct gas line size for your fire pit depends on several factors, making it difficult to provide a one-size-fits-all answer. Key considerations include:
- BTU Requirements: The size of the fire pit and the BTU input requirements of your burner.
- Gas Pressure: The pressure of the gas being delivered to the fire pit.
- Distance: The length of the gas line run and the number of elbows or fittings in the line, which can affect gas flow.
- Other Appliances: If other appliances (e.g., heaters, stoves) are connected to the same gas line, they will reduce the gas available for the fire pit.
Because these factors all influence the gas flow and line size, it's essential to consult with your contractor or plumber.
