Gas line sizing

Size one branch or design your entire system.

Size natural-gas and propane runs, check capacity, and map a complete system without rebuilding the math in a spreadsheet.

WHY IT’S USEFUL

A line can look large enough and still come up short once distance and downstream appliance load are counted. Build Specs keeps those inputs together and makes the sizing path easy to review in the field.

WHAT IT DOES

Useful detail without the spreadsheet.

01

Quick size

Check a single run by gas type, material, pressure, distance, and connected BTU load.

02

System planner

Build multi-trunk layouts and size each section by its downstream load using the longest-length method.

03

Field-ready references

Work with natural gas or propane and supported black-iron and HOME-FLEX CSST tables, with the source kept visible.

USE IT WHEN

The answer needs to travel with the work.

  • ✓Checking a new appliance branch before material pickup
  • ✓Planning propane or natural-gas distribution through a house
  • ✓Saving a layout so the same assumptions can be reviewed later
