Sizing Pipe and Valves and Calculating System Pressure Requirements

Size Flow limit

1/2 in (15 mm) 6 gpm (1,36 m3/h or 0,38 L/s)
3/4 in (20 mm) 10 gpm (2,27 m3/h or 0,63 L/s)
1 in (25 mm) 16 gpm (3,36 m3/h or 1,01 L/s)
1-1/4 in (32 mm) 26 gpm (5,90 m3/h or 1,64 L/s) and so on

The designer made up such a matrix for the residential

plan we have been following. This expedited the designer’s
sizing of all the pipe on the project. Let’s move on to the
next section.
