DIY here, country-living, would like to add LPG cooktop in kitchen - all other appliances are electric...already got my hands on a tank just need some insight on running the supply line. Others have said "heck, just run copper tubing"; also heard to sleeve it with plastic; would like to go with a flexible PEX? type? all the way. The washroom wall is shared with the kitchen, therefore may want to have the future ability to serve a gas clothes dryer also. Here's the ratings of the cooktop - 10-WC w/9,400 & 4,000 & 7,000 output burners. I don't even have a clue as to what a typical gas dryer burns...
QUESTION 1 - what type and size supply line would suffice? Run is ~50 ft underground, 10' under slab (existing 3" sched 40 conduit currently not used) & ~30' within framing. Probably a good 100 feet when all said and done.
Q2 - can the line go up to the ceiling within the structure and then back down (height difference ~11.5ft)?
Sure would like to use something flexible (and easy) to snake it through! - what Products are there?
Any guidance/advice on LPG (country-living, meaning little oversight; only the guy with the truck refilling 1-2 times a year!) would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Ronnie B
