Looking for a little advice on how to best plumb in a couple large devices at the meter. I've already determined that adding a T into an existing supply line in the house plumbing won't meet appliance requirements so now I'm trying to determine the best way to get these appliances natural gas.
To start with, I have the gas company coming to de-couple us from the neighbor, upgrade the main line and the meter to support this work. Supply should not be an issue (we've already done the existing BTU/CFM + New appliance math, resulting in this $5000 upgrade).
I'm adding a 22kW home standby generator and a 250k BTU pool heater. Due to supply demands and distance, both appliances will require a 1-1/4 supply line. The appliances are in very different locations as well.
The generator will get polyethylene trenched down to code depth with about 20ft distance between meter and appliance.
For the pool heater, I'm considering black steel pipe run of roughly 100ft through the crawl space (trenching a polyethylene line will require 200+ ft, running black pipe externally on the structure will be about 165ft).
Question: How does the forum best recommend plumbing these two runs at the meter? I'm assuming I need two Ts to build a manifold of sorts, both runs supplied individually by a T. I assume I cannot run a single 1-1/4 T that then forks again to supply both devices, correct?
Thanks for taking the time!
