depends on weather your propane or nat gas. also depends on size of generator and distance from secondary pressure regulator. i try to install generators as close to gas regulator as possible. if its propane, we try to T off BEFORE the house regulator and run a 3/4" high pressure (10#) to within 10 feet of generator. then add a secondary regulator and pipe to generator using 1" pipe. i use the included 3/4" gas flex line going from generator to my rigid gas pipe. our inspectors want to see a 3/4" x 4" nipple out of generator, then the 18" stainless gas flex that generac includes, then a shut off valve, then run to regulator.
