The gas meter outlet is 1-1/4". One side of a 'T' branches to 3/4" 50 ft. supply to gas furnace (122k BTU). The other side of the 1-1/4" T is blanked off (previously used for swimming pool heater). I don't know how much pressure is on the outlet of the regulator, it's a Rockwell 107 and might be about 45 yrs old. When my kitchen was remodeled last year, I bought a large 6 burner gas stove (102k btu). The sub-contracted plumber added a 3/4" 'T' close to where the 3/4" heater supply pipe originates and ran a new 3/4" 50 ft supply for the stove. meter --> 1.25" T --> one side reduced to 3/4" --> 3/4" T --> furnace line & stove line. So both the furnace and stove supply lines take their gas supply from the same short 3/4" nipple off of the 1-1/4" 'T' at the meter. It seems to me that this may be too much load for 2 high demand appliances and that each of these 3/4" supply lines should run separately from the 1-1/4" 'T' rather than from a 3/4" T. Individually, each line is sufficient according to a table I found on the web. But since they both originate from the same 3/4" nipple off of the 1-1/4" T I'm wondering if this design is under sized. Should I have the lines redone so that they each branch off from the 1-1/4" outlet? Or because the supply lines for the 2 appliances branch off only a short distance beyond the 1-1/4" line is the design sufficient? I don't notice any problem in the use of the appliances but I also don't know how to determine if the supply is adequate or not. thanks, Jon

Hello all! I know that I've questioned this a while ago, but have a slightly different scenario. This also seems to be a pretty common question, but nobody's really been able to answer what I have to ask yet in reading these forums. I'm installing a dishwasher in my kitchen. Have already run the water line off a separate valve from the sink, routed it through the cabinets and run it over to dishwasher location. Am having conflicting answers about how I can run the drain. The issue I'm having is, the kitchen counters are in an L shape and are kind of as follows: ****SINK****** ****SINK****** ** STOVE ** DW ** The ** locations are countertops on top of cabinets. People have simply suggested removing a cabinet to the right of the sink and putting the dishwasher there, but I'm not doing it. This would require me removing the entire tile backsplash, all the countertops, then removing the cabinet, which would also leave a gap either on the right or left of the dishwasher, and I cannot afford to lose this cabinet space. The kitchen does not have much to begin with. The location where the dishwasher is to be installed USED to be a niche where the refrigerator was. It was subsequently moved to another location in the kitchen to accommodate this installation. The only drain location within a reasonable distance is that on the kitchen sink, which does NOT have a disposal installed. I guess the question I'm asking is....can I run PVC piping under the top edge of the cabinets, then tie in at where the sink drain is, for the dishwasher? I can install it at a sloping angle along the back side if flow is a problem for the distance. The total run would be approximately maybe 12', not including the dishwasher drain hose which I'd be very careful to "high loop" for air gapping purposes. Would I be better with running flexible hose? Also, how would I go about tying in at the sink drain? Any help would be suggested. Well, any help other than "tear out your cabinets," "buy a portable dishwasher," or so forth. Thanks! BTW, I'm in North Texas for any related comments...
