Good day,
I am installing two new Heat-n-glo fireplaces. I need to run gas lines to both locations.
Here in Mn, 1/2" flexible copper is allowable under code.
One fireplace is approximately 33 feet from the regulator and the other is approximately 40 feet.
Being that copper is so expensive, I was thinking about running a single copper gas line to the first fireplace and then putting in a T to run copper to the second fireplace.
We may run both fireplaces occasionally at the same time.
My question is will we have enough gas flowing through a single pipe and the T connector to feed both fireplaces or should I really run two 1/2" lines from the regulator?
The ceiling is open so it's not hard to do - I'm just trying to avoid having to pay an extra $75 for copper. I'd much rather do the flexible copper rather than black steel since this is a DIY job and I'd like to avoid having a lot of connections in the walls.
Thanks for any & all advice.
