Water constantly exerts pressure on pipe joints. I have seen old soldered joints flying apart when subjected to extreme pressure or trains passing nearby. This sometimes happens with plastic pipe also if joints are not thoroughly set .
Excessive pressure may damage pipe joints and internal parts of cheap faucets. The old PolyB pipe is very susceptible to breaking under excess pressure. In most cases, I see no reason for house pressure to be in excess of 50 psi.
If water is flowing through pipe, no head pressure can build up. Blocking off flow of water will create head pressure in pipe as long as pipe is vertical. A vertical column of water creates head pressure.
I think velocity is directly proportionate to its applying pressure.
The only effect the sun has on PVC pipes is the impact strength of the pipe will be decreased and there will be some discoloration. The tensile strength and pressure strength of the pipe will not be effected. The best way to protect the pipe is to paint it with a water based latex light colored paint.
depends on the pressure pushing through the pipe
Leakage of water at pipe joints can reduce the pressure in the system because it allows water to escape before it reaches its intended destination. This means the force propelling the water through the pipe is reduced, leading to a drop in pressure. Additionally, the leakage creates inefficiencies in the system, requiring more energy to maintain the desired pressure levels.
Water fountains from leaking joints or holes in pipes happen due to the pressure within the pipe. When there is a leak, the water under pressure escapes through the opening, creating the fountain effect. The size of the leak and pressure inside the pipe determine the height and strength of the water fountain.
The water in your pipes is under pressure so that it comes out of the tap when you turn it on. If there is a hole in the pipe (i.e. a leak) then the water will come out under pressure, the same as if you turned on your tap - if this hole faces upwards then there will be a jet or water like a fountain. The height of this jet is dependant upon the pressure of the water

When the pump is not running, the water pressure at the output pipe of the pump will be equal to the static pressure of the water source acting on the pipe. This static pressure varies depending on the elevation and depth of the water source.

No. Pascal's Principle states that a pressure applied to a fluid system at rest is felt throughout the entire system. This means that, regardless of pipe diameter, city pressure is felt everywhere. Decreasing pipe diameter will only reduce the flow rate of the water, due to more head loss when the water moves.
I think velocity is directly proportionate to its applying pressure.
Yes, as long as the water coming out of the pipe has a greater pressure than the water that is covering the pipe. If it is the other way around, the water covering the pipe will actually flow into the pipe. Think about it. It just makes sense.
The pressure will rise, but you haven't given us anyvolume or pressure figures to begin with .

negative pressure is needed for a sustained flow of water in a pipe.
