What is the maximum number of appliances that can be connected to a single gas line without additional support?

The maximum number of appliances that can be connected to a single gas line without additional support is determined by load calculations based on local code. This approach considers various factors such as the capacity of the gas line, the BTU ratings of the appliances, and the specific rules and regulations in the local jurisdiction.

Different appliances have varying demands for gas, and local codes are designed to ensure safety and efficiency in the installation and operation of gas systems. Therefore, instead of a fixed number of appliances that can be connected, it is crucial to perform load calculations to ensure that the gas line can adequately supply all connected appliances without risking overloading or compromising safety.

This method allows for a tailored approach that aligns with the particular installation requirements and local codes, making it the most accurate way to determine compatibility for multiple appliances on a single gas line.
