(5) Starting at the most remoteoutlet, find in the vertical columnjust selected the gas demand for thatoutlet. If the exact figure of demandis not shown, choose the next largerfigure below in the column.

(6) To the extreme left of thisdemand figure in Table 12-2 will befound the correct size of pipe.

(7) Proceed in a similar mannerfor each outlet and each section ofpipe. For each section of pipe deter-mine the total gas demand supplied bythat section.

(c) For conditions other than thosecovered by subsection (a) of this section,such as commercial, industrial and multipleunits which require longer runs or greatergas demands, the size of each gas pipingsystem shall be determined by standardengineering methods acdeptable to the Ad-ministrative Authority.

(d) Where gas of a different specificgravity is to be delivered, or where thepressure may be higher than fourteen (14)inches or lower than four (4) inches of watercolumn, or when diversity demand factors areused, the design, pipe sizing, materials, lo-cation and use of such systems first shall beapproved by the Administrative Authority andthe gas utility supplying the gas.

(Amend NOTE after paragraph (d).)

NOTE: See Appendix F for specific require-ments. Gas piping systems conveying manu-factured or LPG gas at pressure of three(3) or five (5) p.s.i.g. may be sized inaccordance with Tables contained in AppendixF.

(Amend "Problem" and "Solution" on page 112.)

Problem: Determine the require pipe sizeof each section and outlet of thepiping system shown in Figure 1.Gas to be used has a specificgravity of seventy-eight hundredths(0.78) and 900 BTU per cubic foot,delivered at four (4) inch watercolumn pressure.

Solution:

(1) Maximum gas demandof outlet A - 39 cu. ft. per hour(from Table 12-1)

Maximum gas demandof outlet B - 4 cu. ft. per hour(from Table 12-1)

Maximum gas demandof outlet C - 65 cu. ft. per hour(from Table 12-1)

Maximum gas demandof outlet D - 166 cu. ft. per hour(150,000 BTU per hour f 900)

(2) The length of pipe from the gas meterto the most remote outlet (outlet A)is 60 feet. This is the only distanceused.

(3) Using column marked 60 feet in Table 12-2:

Outlet A, supplying 39 c.f.h., requiresthree-fourth (3/4) inch pipe.

Outlet B, supplying 4 c.f.h., requiresone-half (1/2) inch pipe.

- 53-

Section 1, supplying outlets A and B, or43 c.f.h., requires three-fourth (3/4)inch pipe.

Outlet C, supplying 65 c.f.h., requiresthree-fourth (3/4) inch pipe (also dueto range connection being 3/4")

Section 2, supplying outlets A, B, and C,or 108 c.f.h., requires one (1) inch pipe.

Outlet D, supplying 166 c.f.h., requiresone (1) inch pipe.

Section 3, supplying outlets A, B, C, andD, or 274 c.f.h., requires one and one-fourth (1-1/4) inch pipe.

CHAPTER 13

Water Heaters and Vents

Sec. 1305 - Gas-Fired Water Heater Approval Requirements

(Amend paragraph- (c) and add paragraph (d).)

(c) Gas storage-type water heatersand hot water boilers shall be equippedwith, in addition to the primary tempera-ture control, a water temperature-limitingdevice.

When such a device is designed to shutoff the source of energy, it shall activatea valve which is separate from the valveoperated by the primary temperature control.Such energy shut-off device shall be testedon the water heater or hot water boiler andshall be approved in accordance with recog-nized standards.

When such a device is a temperaturerelief valve or a combination temperatureand pressure relief valve, it shall belisted and installed in accordance withrecognized standards. Each valve shall beprovided with a drain as required in sub-section (e) of Sec. 1007.

(d) An approved method shall be pro-vided to prevent siphoning in any waterheater, hot water boiler, hot water tank

or hot water system.

Sec. 1306 - Oil Burning and Other Water Heaters

(Amend paragraph (b) and add paragraph (c).)

(b) All storage-type water heatersand hot water boilers deriving heat fromfuels or types of energy other than gasshall be equipped with, in addition to theprimary temperature control, a water tem-perature-limiting device.

When such a device is designed to shutoff the source of energy, it shall activatea valve or relay which is separate from thevalve or relay operated by the primary con-trol. Such energy shut-off device shall betested on the water heater or hot waterboiler and approved in accordance with recog-nized standards.

When such a device is a temperaturerelief valve or a combination temperatureand pressure relief valve, it shall be listedand installed in accordance with recognizedstandards. Each valve shall be provided witha drain as required in subsection (e) of Sec.1007.

(c) An approved method shall be pro-vided to prevent siphoning in any waterheater, hot water boiler, hot water tank orhot water system.

Sec. 1310 - Protection from Damage


(a) Appliances generating a glow,spark or flame capable of igniting flam-mable vapors may be installed in a resi-dential garage provided the pilots andburner, heating elements, or electricalmotors and switches are at least eighteen(18) inches above the floor level.

Exception: Carports, as de-fined by the Uniform Building Code,County of Maui, Wailuku, Maui, having100% opening on one side and 50% netopening on another side, or the equi-valent of such openings on two or more

sides, provided the adjacent groundlevel is at or below the floor levelof the carport.

Sec. 1313 - Approved Type Vents Required

(Add paragraph (e).)

(e) Listed fuel-burning water heatersneed not be provided with a vent extendedthrough the roof of the building or enclo-sure when installed outside the exteriorwalls of the building unenclosed, or inenclosures with adequate openings near thetop, except that an approved vent cap shallbe provided. Vents connected to such waterheaters shall terminate no closer than amultiple of twelve (12) inches for each50,000 BTU per hour, or less, input to thewater heater up to a maximum required dis-tance of four (4) feet to any buildingopening nor closer than one (1) foot abovesuch opening. Protection of such waterheaters from the weather shall be providedeither by the appliance design itself orby an approved enclosure when climatic orsafety conditions warrant."
