NOTES:
1. The correct pipe sizing for an installation can be found in the Pipe Selection Guide if the gallons per minute and the
length of line are known.
2. Select the next pipe length longer than indicated by your application, then follow that column down to the next higher
gallonage than required. Follow this figure to the left to find the correct pipe size.
3. The Guide is based on keeping pressure drop less than 23.10 feet of head (10 PSI) and velocity in feet per second of
5 or less.
Example: If the length of a system is 1000 to 1500 linear feet and the flow requirement is 4 GPM, a 1" pipe should
be used.
