Hello -
I am doing a little research about what size water line I need to run from the meter to the house. I have read several posts here, and I can't quite come up with the calculation myself (FYI I have no plumbing background).
Here is the info I do have:
- Fixtures : 5 faucets, 2 shower/tubs (1 rainhead), 1 washing machine, 2 outdoor spigots, 1 dishwasher.
-Meter is set at the road is a 1" meter. Main line the meter feeds off is 6"
-pressure at the street is 58psi
-minimal fall from the road (net maybe 2')
-all main fixtures on on ground floor with only the secondary bath upstairs (main floor will set minimum crawl space off the ground)
- house sits 900" from the road.
Any advice on the best size line/configuration to feed the home to maintain as much of the 58psi as possible? Also, is this enough pressure or do I need to consider an option to increase that pressure?
Thanks for taking the time to look over my question.
