    This document summarizes the sizing of hot water pipes for a recirculation system. It details 12 routes for hot water flow through various pipe sizes and lengths. The total developed length of pipe is calculated to be 209.645676 feet. Factoring in friction loss, a 5% safety factor, and a required pump head of 10 feet, the minimum flow required for the recirculation system is calculated to be 1.5 GPM. The recirculation pipe is recommended to be 1/2" CPVC Schedule 40 pipe with 15mm insulation.
