When you say 1/2" are you talking about 5/8 OD or nominal size and which type of copper? K /L/ M as there is friction looses to consider
I am referring to 1/2" nominal type L copper pipe, and the friction loss is negligent because the section of 1/2 inch tubing is only 2" nipples on either side of a electric shut off valve. The actual set-up is 1" PVC supply at 65psi, reduction fitting to 3/4" into a pressure redusing valve, 3/4" out of the valve through another reduction fitting to 1/2" into and through the shut-off valve, then into the furnace. Distance from the first 1' to 3/4" reducer to the furnace is only a distance of about 14". Hope this helps.
26 inch......means 650 mm
In the USA, 15mm is half-inch, and 22mm is three-quarters inch. Lengths of pipe nipples in these sizes range from one and a quarter/one and a half, to six inches, in half-inch increments.
You do not: it is alll done in pixel, points, etc. What one browser displays as half an inch another may display very differently.
The maximum flow of water through a 3-inch diameter pipe depends on various factors, including the pressure, the length of the pipe, and the fluid's viscosity. Generally, using the Hazen-Williams equation or other hydraulic calculations, a 3-inch pipe can typically carry around 600 to 1,200 gallons per minute (GPM) under optimal conditions. To determine the precise maximum flow for a specific situation, one would need to consider the exact parameters of the pipe system.
Depending what you are wanting to supply. Basin, shower, toilet, bidet, kitchen can be fed with a half inch line Main line and bath can be fed with a three quarter inch line
10gpm
It would be wonderful if you also gave the pressure and told about friction losses
The flow of water through a half-inch copper pipe at 35 psi can be estimated using the Hazen-Williams equation or similar hydraulic formulas. Generally, a half-inch pipe can deliver approximately 5 to 10 gallons per minute (GPM) at that pressure, depending on factors like pipe length, fittings, and flow conditions. For a more precise calculation, additional parameters such as the specific setup and any friction losses would need to be considered.
The maximum flow rate through a 1.5 inch pipe is typically around 9 gallons per minute.
Given enough time the entire ocean could be pumped through a half-inch pipe.
By the use of Flagg Flow T.P Fitting adapters and Cx M or C x F adapters attached to the T.P fitting T.P = threadless pipe
Mamimum range is about 900 yards. Maximum EFFECTIVE range is about 50 yards.
Yes, easily.
That's 3/4" pipe, not 3.4" prehaps it would deliver more pressure through the 1/2 inch pipe than 3/4 inch. 3/4" pipe will be less restrictive over the course of the run. Otherwise, no. 1/2" Copper Pipe will do fine, since it has a smoother bore, less restrictive, no lime and rust build-up. The only reason for you to use 3/4" pipe is if you want more volume. The pressure remains the same.
Not many. Maybe one at best. Half inch copper line is too small for most needs. 3/4 only costs a little more. You will go completely mad waiting for a bathtub to fill with half inch lines. Every flush of a toilet will make the shower die out.
half inch
Two quarters of an inch are in a half inch.
