I got a guy from the gas company to take a look. My worries were mostly
due to my own ignorance about how LPG installations work.
My 1/2 inch supply line os OK since it is in the "high pressure" (2 PSI)
section. This will get reduced to 6-8 ounces at the manifold with a
regulator; thus the smaller line (at high pressure) can adequately supply
the multiple lines leaving the manifold (at low pressure).
At entry to the house there will be a regulator reducing the pressure from
10 PSI to 2 PSI (to feed the manifold) and another regulator to get low
pressure to the hot water heater. The tank itself will have a regulator to
supply 10 PSI to the house.
The guy from the gas company did say he would do things a little
differently: He wouldn't split off the hot water heater at entry to the
house but instead run a line from the manifold back to the water heater,
eliminating the need for one of the regulators.
