This is true, to a point. Might require some clarification for the OP. 50psi at the sprinkler is generally not good (unless you have a large rotor head which are designed to work better at higher pressures). But 50psi at the start of the system could be problematic depending on how far the...

Great transformation. How did you end up dealing with the drywall and garage opener hardware/tracks, etc?

Looks like 500 orders have been placed. I only got 40 off (first attempt). Still a good deal. Thanks!

I believe I may have gotten ahead of myself and mis-spoke slightly. I think we are still getting at the same thing - it's a chicken-and-egg sort of deal (the change in flow is related to the pressure loss incurred by the additional hose length) :beer: It's easy to mix up velocity, flow, and...

We should probably be careful here - I think this is one of those instances where volume is being confused with pressure (it's easy to do!). Volume (gpm) of the system is determined by the amount of outlets on the system. Unless you have added outlets (sprinklers), the volume is actually the...

There seems to be absolutely no shortage of "cool" in this thread, whatsoever.

My apologies if you covered it and I missed it.....but how did you address your new window on the outside? Did you patch the old stucco? I am looking at a similar condition (my garage is 1925 and stucco) and was scratching my head at how I was going to address it. Cool garage! Also, am I the...

First of all, thanks to z28snksknr for describing the static vs. stagnation pressure issue. As for friction losses in smaller lines, on the surface it seems to contradict common sense because of things we see in everyday life (back to the old garden hose example again). We see increased...

Ok, love this forum but haven't really participated yet. This is a subject I have much experience in so it seemed the appropriate thread in which to get my feet wet (pun intended). As indicated earlier - size does matter. Despite what your wives and girlfriends might tell you. The difference in...
