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.

When replacing 80 ft of old steel pipe which is fed from half inch pipe with copper is there any reason to use 3.4 inch pipe instead?

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.
