Hello all,

When gas plumbing company ran connection to our stove they left 3/4in connection for future connections in the back yard. Since then we've got outdoor fire pit and later wanted to an add patio heater. I connected it using 3/8in quick disconnect 24ft gas line. When fire pit is on there's enough flow and is running fine when I added Y and split it to patio heater now when both are running it significantly reduced to the point where only one can be run becuase other one is not giving desired output.
Do I need to run 3/4in line instead of 3/8 for "fix" this issue?

TIA

Ayuh,..... Atleast to where it T's off to each appliance,.....

Or dedicate the line for the heater.

Burn wood for the fire pit.

3/4in runs from the meter to T from there it goes to stove and other one is connected to 3/8in line.

Burning wood won't work for us because I live in a very dense neighborhood with small back yard.
