I have a question about the gas line installation. Can you be able to bury the line from the secondary regulator to the generator? I have about a 6 foot run from the corner of my house to the generator and I was wondering if I could bury a 3/4 inch copper line from the secondary regulator to the generator without having startup issues. I have 24kW Generac Generator.
@@micromech2780 yes, you can go 10 feet on a 3/4 inch low pressure line. I would suggest using a poly plastic type line. They sell them at Home Depot with the risers. If this is Propane, you can always adjust the secondary regulator if you need to increase the fuel pressure. Always a good idea to check it after you’re done with a manometer. Most regulators are set at the lowest setting from the factory. Hope this helps.
@GentechNorthwest-ue4oq Thanks for the information. I was told by a propane company that I needed to use a 5 foot horizontal run with 3/4 black iron from the secondary regulator at the corner of my house to the generator and that they didn't recommend bury the line because of possible startup issues. Is this true or would it be okay to bury the line?
@@micromech2780 I don’t know what start up issues you would have by digging the line in underground. We do it all the time. Just don’t exceed the 10 feet of pipe run. Also just use the proper pipe and parts rated for the application. We do all our own piping because most propane companies don’t understand generators. They aren’t trained on fuel pressure and pipe sizing for these Generac generators.
I hope your are well I've been watching your TH-cam videos for the past week, and they're really great! You're doing a fantastic job as a content creator. I appreciate your work. you please tell me little bit more about your TH-cam channel what is your target what you want to do in future with your this channel. I am TH-cam Channel Growth specialist.

@@GentechNorthwest-ue4oq All of your video quality is good but for these problems your videos are not getting more views. If you want i can fix all problems
@@johndevito7066 I’ll see if I can do a video walking through the control panel. Are you talking start up programming? What’s it about WiFi that you have questions about?
@@bwilson948 NEC requires you to bond metal gas and water pipes when you are providing an electrical service source. The equipment ground in the conduit provides grounding for the generator. The bond clamp on the gas ties in the metal gas pipe system to that.
I know how good these generators are, but man do you pay EVERY PENNY for these things. I went with a portable tri fuel generator because its like 1/9th of the price and it is portable.
@@GentechNorthwest-ue4oq And that is one of the pros for a dedicated system. It simply goes on automatically and you have power. Mine, you need to worry about hooking it up, fuel, eonnections, etc... Those are the downsides.

Looking for programming aspect of generator, and most of the time wifi is not available yet
@@johndevito7066 I’ll see if I can do a video walking through the control panel. Are you talking start up programming? What’s it about WiFi that you have questions about?
What size NG line for 24Kw. I'm going about 10'. I was thinking 1". Your thoughts?
@@bbtraveler8796 10 feet is fine on 3/4 inch. Remember 90s count as 2 feet of pipe run. Hope this helps.
How is bonding managed?
@@bwilson948 NEC requires you to bond metal gas and water pipes when you are providing an electrical service source.
The equipment ground in the conduit provides grounding for the generator. The bond clamp on the gas ties in the metal gas pipe system to that.
What happens when they send a new generator but an older transfer switch with no neutral terminal for the trickle charge
@@ChantzClendening just jumper it out to the large neutral on the generator.
@ thanks that’s what I was thinking
@ you bet
Do you run your control wire in the same conduit as the generator power wires?? If so what kind of conductor are they??
@@circlegoutdoors9388 yes we do. THHN wire is what we use.
I know how good these generators are, but man do you pay EVERY PENNY for these things. I went with a portable tri fuel generator because its like 1/9th of the price and it is portable.
@@glickmpb yeah I get it. It’s a convenience thing and most of our customers are elderly and really need the automatic system.
@@GentechNorthwest-ue4oq And that is one of the pros for a dedicated system. It simply goes on automatically and you have power. Mine, you need to worry about hooking it up, fuel, eonnections, etc... Those are the downsides.
@@glickmpb absolutely. Plus the generator will run much longer on a large propane tank or natural gas supply.
