water service maximum lengths
water service maximum lengths
(OP)
I am looking for a chart that contains recommended maximum lengths for water service lines based upon the pipe diameter. It is helpful in giving a home owner a recommendation as to what size of service to run from the main to their house in a rural water supply system. I have seen it in the past. Does anyone have this chart? Thank you in advance.

Good luck

For instance, a house within 500 feet of the main is able to get by with the standard 1" diameter service piping while someone 750' away from the main will need an 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" pipe to realize the same volume and pressure. At 1000' or greater pipe size needs to change to 2". I know it exists for I have seen it. Problem is the person that had it once can not produce it again and no longer works for the same company.
I guess the answer to my problem may be to create my own chart by finding where friction loss of various diamter piping for a particular length exceeds any normal operating pressure.
Make any sense????? Does this sound feasible?
