Default Question about water pressure in relation to valve and feeder pipe diameters...

But pressure is never increased by larger pipes.


The above is totally misleading. The only pressure that is relevant to
the OP is during flow, so that if you wanted to stay relevant then you
should of said.

"The pressure can be increased by larger pipes"


No, it can not. Restrictions are removed, but pressure is not increased,


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
just decreased less.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Oh my! So you really weren't just trying to be a wise ass in your
reponse to my original post after all! You really do believe what you
so clearly misrepresent here as having been suggested!


Think about that for a minute and once you know the difference, you can cure
the problems easier. Along the same lines, can you make something colder?
No. You can, however, remove heat. The physical differences is of the
utmost importance when dealing with changing pressures or temperatures.
Unless you know what characteristics are the ones affecting your situation,
it is a crap shoot to find a cure.

Bigger pipes do not make more pressure. This is not my opinion, this is the
laws of physics. I didn't write them, but we all must abide by them.



Ya think?
