INPUT NOTES:
1. For basic use, enter values only in cells designated for required inputs
2. Do not enter any value in a cell under F if a Standard Dimension tubing not included in a system
3. All indicated Constant values are taken from the Copper Tube Handbook, Copper Development Association, 2006
4. insulation levels are based on requirements in the International Energy Conservation Code for DHW systems
operating in the temperature range of 120 to 200 F.
5. Tabulated values were calculated using 3EPlus v4. The nominal insulation value is R-3.7 per inch. Heat Loss Factors
for different insulation types may be estimated by multiplying the tabulated values by (3.7 / New R Value).
