Would it be better to run these on a 3/4 inch pvc or 1/2 inch pvc line? I am aware the riser needs to be 1/2 in. Thanks

I ran 3/4 in pvc line. Longer the distance bigger the line, same principle with the gas line.

I believe the typical PVC size for irrigation is 3/4". I have 3/4" PVC for my irrigation lines and have the typical 90 degree 3/4" to 1/2 fitting that the riser is screwed into.

I ran it with 3/4" PVC schedule 40, they are working super it make life easy.

These risers require 1/2" x 13 coarse thread bolt. Can be purchased at home depot. I had to drill out my triple tree just a little to make them work.

3/4" connections used to unit. Check local codes. I used 3/4" piping throughout . Flex can only be used for connections under 36". Distance from source shouldn't matter, pressure should be the same. Use hard pipe.

I used the white 2 inch pvc and it works greatThe roller system works great Hope this helps

I was able to use 1-1/2" PVC by using a dremel to reduce the diameter of the black plastic end cap. The expansion rollers themselves easily allow a 1-1/2" pipe, but the black end cap was about 1-3/4". I have muslins that are sewn with a 1-1/2" loop at the top, so this was the best solution for me.

I'd go with at least 1" as well. I had a few installed in some 3/4" and they didn't seem hold up as well as the larger pipe. And they do work great, I've used these for three seasons now and just ordered a 25 pk to set up a larger system this spring for meat birds and replace some of the ones for my layers.

I don't think so. You can always adapt your line up to a 1.5 and then back down after the unit. Just stop at the pvc isle in your local hardware store.

You need to make sure you order the right diameter of bar for the riser. I put these on a v star with minimal effort, just go slow and take your time. Some minor modification may need to be made, and you may need to drill a hole or 2 depending on your grips and boxes.

I used the same size (1/2) for a pvc 1/2 with some couplers and works ok. Read a little more. I think ABS pipe is not for water feeding.

the riser appears to 1/2" inside opening. but it is a thin walled pipe and might not be standard .

I used 3" but 1 1/2" would work fine. My thought was the bigger the diameter the more water it held. More water means less fill ups and plenty of water for hot days.

there is an intake for 1 1/2 pvc, but I have a fitting that is 2"...got an adapter for it works great....My pump has never failed me...2 years on all the time..never an issue

U may need an adapter. The tubing size vs. the PVC sizing is probably going to differ.

That sounds strange and here is why. Almost all bath fixtures have either 3/4 inch or 1/2 inch pipe feeding the supply, usually 1/2 inch for the final run. So that means the 3/4 inch should be more than enough. Even than, flow restrictors as mandated by communities are almost always at the end run or device (ie. shower head). So the limitation is either 1) the supply shut off valves (they could be as small as 1/4 depending on what is used) so check these or 2) your whole house pressure regulator. If your pressure/flow is low all over, especially at a garden hose, my bet is on this device. The good news is this adjustable...just get yourself a water pressure gauge (Home Depot/Lowe's) and checkout Youtube searching for "adjusting home water pressure" and you'll b able to increase it significantly. That being said, don't go crazy or you might stress your pipes. Other than that, can't think of any other reason why it would be low. FYI, I have one and it is great..and my pipes are 1/2 inch and I am running with about 65-70 psi. Hope this helps.

My house has 1/2 inch lines and it works great. I've had mine for a couple of years but I think it came with an adapter to go from 1/2 inch to 3/4.

It has been some time since I installed this for my Daughter, but I think it is 1 1/4", I used an adapter and used 3/4" pipe in our situation, I probably would not use any smaller than 3/4 pipe tho,

It depend if you have a high front sight and to fix that you need to have a riser 1/2" or 3/4" depend on your preference.
