Poly gas size sizing

[bochnak]

I will be running a poly natural gas line from meter to garage (roughly 125’) to run a 60,000 BTU heater. What size do I need for this run?

Thanks,
Matt

Received pricing for line and fittings:

150’ spool of ¾” poly : $56

2 fittings: $45

Pretty inexpensive IMHO.

Where did you get the line?

Where did you get the line?

My buddy is a plumber with an account at a supply house. I will trench and bury line. He will make the final connections.

I have searched the web for the general public to buy with no such luck.
