Here is some info that might help. In short though, a reduction of that size is not advisable as it could cause excess pressure and reduce the performance of the pump. http://www.zoeller.com/zcopump/TechBriefs/HomesHiddenAlly.htm Good Luck. Tom

Which will carry most water 2 small pipes with a radius of 2 and 3 inches or the larger single pipe with a radius of 5 inches?
To start, we will find the cross sectional area of the pipes. Pipe with radius of 2 inches Cross sectional area = PI x radius2 = 12.56 inches2 Pipe with radius of 3 inches Cross sectional area = PI x radius2 = 28.26 inches2 Pipe with radius of 5 inches Cross sectional area = PI x radius2 = 78.5 inches2 As the cross sectional area of the pipe with a radius of 5 inches (78.5 inches2) is greater than the sum of the cross sectional areas of the pipes with radii of 2 inches and 3 inches (40.82 inches2), it can be concluded that the pipe with a radius of 5 inches will be able to carry the most water. (Assuming that all three pipes are the same length).
Can washer drain pipe be one inch draining into one and a half inch?
Yes, if the joint between the 2 width of pipes is made to be tightly closed so that no leakage would occur. The best would be to use a connector with a 1 inch diameter at one end and a diameter of 1.5 inches at the other end. Or maybe, if the 2 pipes are vertical, to put the 1 inch pipe into the 1.5 inches pipe and seal the 2 pipes with a good amount of resistant tape so that the water will go straight from one pipe to the other with no leakage. But with hot water draining from the washer, even with the cold water, the tape solution is probably just a temporary solution, because the tape would break down after some time.
