why is this 4 inch pipe narrower than the traditional 4 inch corrugated pipe? does that 30% higher load bearing mean it moves 30% more water?

The 4 inch pipe being slightly narrower than the traditional 4 inch corrugated means that it is just smaller in size = Not 4 inches across the diameter or the circle. The 30 % higher load bearing means that it is tougher than other manufactured 4 inch corrugated pipes. Meaning that if you placed weight around the pipe of other brands it may crush the pipe, but with the stronger load bearing design using the better materials that this item is made of , it makes it stronger to withstand more pressure on it before it fails from weight on it or outside pressures as it sits under ground. Usually this pipe is used to move water away from your home, mostly used for moving rain water from the rain gutter down spouts farther from your home to keep your foundation more dryer from having less water moving to it. I bought this item to move water from the down spout into the in-ground pool that is in my back yard. Summer temps and the sun light hitting the pool water evaporates the water and I have had to use municipal water , that I pay for , to fill the pool to make the pool be at a level which let the pool work as it should. And with the charge of water being one cost for buying a gallon and twice the cost or disposal filling the pool with hours of bought water really costs me money. So when it rains the natural rain fills the pool which saves me money. During the fall / winter I collapse the pipe and store it in a shed. The pipe is pretty strong, with it being made with using copolymers this will probably be the only time I will have to buy a pipe for what I am using it for.

With it's mondular design you can expect it to be a little wobbly the one I have installed in my house was and works fine, it did get rigid because I mounted it on a stud :). No issues though and I like being able to expand it if needed. Only issue I had was that the valves would cut a small pice of plastic first time I used them, make sure you don't get pices of plastic stuck in your pipes and good luck with your installation!

It's difficult for me compare. In our previous house water pressure was quite low and water flow from the filter faucet was slow. Now, I've decided to buy system with a booster pump to be on a safe side. I have no regrets. Even though water pressure looks higher.

The pipe sticks out at least four inches more due to the regulating on/off valve.

After playing with it some more, I found what you and another reviewer stated: tab toward you is 2.5GPM highest flow and tab away is lower flow. Thanks for your confirmation.

I installed the pump at 300 ft. GPM is not adjustable and dependent on your pipe, valves etc size. 12 GPM is maximum. If your well replenishment rate is low install a Franklin Electric QD Pumptec - Pump Protector.

I used a 3/4 inch and I had trouble with it getting stopped up. I still have one using it but it is pumping clean water. The other pump is using one the same size as the discharge opening. 1 1/4 inch I think. Then I reduced it down to garden hose. This thing will move some water. I got this check valve on the same order as the pump. It has a flapper like a toilet uses. The 3/4 inch uses a very small opening. plugs easily.

It does look counter intuitive. Non-laminar flow in a pipe is normally around the periphery. I spend many years getting my engineering degree and I like to show I learned something. I've use these and they do work in spite of what they look like. I've watched the discharge from the bottom of the down spout during rain and little is coming out and most is going into the barrel.

I believe it is low by design. You might have to ask a Toto rep for a definitive answer.The wider bowl narrow to a 4 inch section which is where the water sits. In our toilet, there is no water in the wider bowl; the water begins about 3 inches down into the "tube". That means that anything entering the toilet has to hit the bullseye in the water or risk the possibility of leaving residue as it slides in.

The down pipe is 4". However the flanged end that connects to the stock turbo (hx35 or wh1c) is not exactly 4".

Sorry, I have already installed this and the trailer is in storage...possibly Valterra can give you specs...believe this is industry standard for 3" plumbing

I measured it for you. Keep in mind that the center of the front of each shelf is over 1/2 an inch higher than the back because it bows up. If you take this into account then the distance from the top rail of the shelf to the centerline of the waterpipe where it comes out of the wall and goes to the shower head is 9 inches. If I have my showerhead pointed all the way down the water hits this rail. I have to bring the head up a few degrees to get it to clear. Otherwise I am happy with the design of the shelf. Now I am just interested to see if they used good quality stainless that won't rust over time. We shall see. I measured it for you.

You can use a 3/4 in CSST fitting to convert the 3/4 corrugated steel pipe to a standard 3/4 in threaded tip either male or female than it becomes compatible with black iron 3/4 threaded fittings. I recommend using the nylon tape for gas (it's yellow) around your threads (At least three turns of tape) prior to making the connection. I did this and my system works perfect. It passed a pressure test of 15 lbs with no loss of pressure after 3 hours. The pipe has a working pressure of 5 lbs, but the manufacture said static pressure test can go up to 40 psi although I wouldn't do that. Most states only go up to 25 psi anyway, and LP natural gas is only around 1/2 a lb anyway.

Not that I know of. I think it's pure physics since all of these style faucets with the pull out nozzles have smaller diameter hoses in them. You could do a simple test and check the actual water flow in GPM and compare that to the mfg rated flow. I'm happy with the flow rate and we are on a deep well with pressure much lower than city water.

Can you describe it better? Which part would be partially horizontally? Our pipe makes a horizontal bend above the magic heat. I don't think it would work right if the unit was not straight up and down.

In a real downpour your right the 1/2" does not always divert enough water to prevent some overflow out of the top of the barrel. In my area we don't get that many hard rains. I do really like the barrel, the best thing I like is the material is substantial and with the feet on the bottom rest on my raised cement base so in the fall I am able to just move it onto storage for the winter.

my plumber told me to get the extra thick one because the space between the floor and floor pipe might be taller than normal, and the extra thickness (height) would still fit. I think all seals are the same diameter, except for thickness.
