I understand the concept of friction when going from a larger pipe diameter to small. However, what happens in reverse?
For example, I have a well pump that has a 1 inch output and I have 1 1/4 sprinkler lines coming of that 1 inch pipe.
Since the well pump has 1 inch output does that mean I will never get to use the extra friction room that a 1 1/4 pipe gives over a 1 inch pipe?
Basically it goes: Suction up the well water via the pump at 1 1/4. Then go through the pump and then discharge out of the pump orriface at 1 inch. It gets imediatley converted to a 1 1/4 pvc going out to various devices. Is the 1 1/4 pipe useless after the 1 inch discharge?
Thanks all
