Question Natural Gas Garage Heater

I’m installing an 80000 BTU ceiling mounted natural gas heater. From the meter to the unit it’s about 100 feet. I have a 1/2 inch tracpipe gas hose. This will be the only appliance running off natural gas in my entire home. Will the 1/2 inch be able to deliver enough gas? And remember nothing else in my home runs off natural gas.

Do an online search for "1/2 inch tracpipe flow chart". This popped up first on the list.

At standard natural gas supply pressure...... you'd need to use a 1" product.
