> his pipe is undersized.  20 feet of 1/2" pipe has a capacity of about 45
cubic feet, 45,000 btu/hr, but he doesn't have that, he's got a 1/4" pipe.
I don't have a chart for the capacity of 1/4 pipe, but I'm sure it's not
45Kbtu/hr.



Agreed.  The < inch pipe is likely the issue.  It is a very small pipe with
not much pressure behind it.   I didnt have that info when I responded, as
I posted before the first send and receive of the AM.
