[QUOTE="ArmyOfJuan, post: 2363881, member: 13351"] So I got a steal of a deal on a HUGE standby generator a while back. It is a 20kW Generac. I got it wired up today and found out the hard way that I am WAAAAY over my head. Go ahead and call me a dumb ass and get it out of your system, then offer me some advice. I plumbed it with 1/2 inch pipe. It would come on, but not continue to run. I dug and dug through the manual (a windows CD on my Mac) and finally found that in requires 294,000 BTU to run at full capacity. Yeah 294,000 f'n BTU's!!! So, I have to run 1 1/4 BIP to it and HOPE that my gas meter can provide enough gas. So here is the question for anyone. If my current regulator won't provide what I need, will ONG put a bigger one on a residence. Will it effect the rest of my house (heater, stove, hot water tank, etc)? I'm already 4 grand into this thing I guess I really don't have a choice but to move forward. [/QUOTE]
