Short story version - I have 3/4" PE running 70' from the meter to a fire pit at 2 psi. I need to put a regulator on the line to get ~7" W.C. at the 300,000 btu fire pit burner.
Questions-
Opinions on putting the regulator directly into the cavity of the pit under the burner plate? I have seen many pictures of installs where this has been done, though doesn't mean it's correct. I have a Pietro Fiorentini 31052 I had planned to use.
Given the 2 psi service would a viable alternative be to put the regulator at the meter? From the sizing charts @ 70' a 3/4 PE line should be able to provide over 500k btu utilizing 14" W.C.. Then, if still too much pressure at the burner I could reduce the regulator output until I hit the magic number.
Alternate approaches?
Thanks for any guidance you may be able to provide!
Existing work permitted and inspected. Just need to regulate the pressure.
