main line sizing?
First I'd like to thank you for all the information and support available on this site. Now for my question...I will be running a main line around my yard and off of that line I will locate my valves for the zones, what is the typical size of poly used? Should I go with 1-1/4" for the main line or can I just go with 1" so I'm dealing with one size pipe? I'm using a well point for my source with a pump and pressure tank set-up. A 1-1/4" would provide more volume but would it be necessary using the pressure tank? I would just as soon go with a 1" poly if I could get away with it and I'm not sure about price difference between the two sizes. Thanks in advance and let me know if I need to provide more info!
Oh, one more thing...since I'm going with pe pipe I'd like to use a master valve at the source. I've only seen valves as large as 1" and if this is the case reducing from 1-1/4" to 1" and back to 1-1/4" would significantly reduce pressure would it not. What is done in this case?
thanks again!
