How do I figure out how many expansion fittings to put in a run of pvc on the roof. I see the table of 352.44 but am still confused :happysad:

I put together a calculator some time ago but never tested it's accuracy. Give it a try...
Excel version:

Google Sheets version:

Just looking at it makes me wonder how accurate the minimum length not requiring an expansion fitting is. Would appreciate feedback...

It is not necessarily how many, but determining the amount of travel required; which is based on the expansion and contraction using difference in temperatures.
Go the the Carlon website, they have a really good document that explains the methods to the madness.
