Hello Tim:

I live in Toronto, Canada.

City upgraded my water supply line from street main to my curb shut off to 3/4 copper tubing.
From city curb to my house I still have old galvanized supply pipe. In your articles you recommend 1 inch copper as a main house supply line.

Should I upgrade my old galvanized supply pipe to 1 inch or 3/4 copper?

I am thinking because I have 3/4 to my property line - should I install 3/4 to my house as well?

Or 1 inch is better - would I loose pressure if I use 3/4 -> 1 inch?

Regards,

Vladimir

i am in the planing stages of our retirement home. it's in the mountiains of colorado and we are wondering about the water lines. we will be tapping into a central water system and the water line to our builing site is approx 1/4 mile with an up hill slope of 20 ft. i'm thinking of pvc. you mentioned 3/4" copper. i'm leaning toward 1" also the depth if it's placement? do you know of coiled plastic pipe that would eliminate the joints? thanks for any help.

What is it that you want here?

I have 3/4" pvc pipe running from the meter to my house. We're in the process of building a new house close to our previous home. My question is:

Can I branch off the 3/4" pipe with 1" pipe and run it another 200 ft. without losing pressure? Or should I stick with the 3/4"?

I'm asking because I am 1/2 a mile from our meter and I do NOT wish to replace the whole line with 1" pipe if I can help it. The meter comes off with 3/4" so that is why we ran it with that in the first place.

Thanks for any help,
Brandon

how many water fixtures can 1" water main support two hundred feet from the meter.

Please I need help. I have a contractor who is trying to get over every chance he gets. Is it legal to install a poly plastic pipe from the curbbox in the street to the house? My water department is requiring that he install a Type K pipe instead no exception.

Dear,

We have water tank with capacity 400 m3 at 16 floor, and we have 500 outlet of water. If we open the outlet water continuesly without input to water tank, so how long will take time to finish water in the tank?

Please advice me the calculation, thanks.

Best regards,
