Can I run a 1/2 inch cold feed pipe to the 3/4 inch NPT input (with adapter) with out any problems? Worried about air or pressure loss.

that's how most are installed. It's no problem. you need to run the water through the unit with the power off to purge any air prior to turning the unit on.

You can without any loss of pressure. If you have 1/2 coming in, you likely have 1/2 coming out.

The input and output sizes for this unit are 3/8"NPT. In order to utilize my 1/4" hose, which is the usual size for a non-commercial shop, I used a reducing bushing at both ends to accommodate the hose from the compressor and the hose going to the equipment being utilized.

Hi, My husband thinks that you may not get enough pressure or volume of water. However, he also thinks with 1/2 inch pipe, it would work. It's worth a shot. Happy planting.

It might work, but it depends on the rubber line's inside diameter. 3/4 inch would probably work fine. 1/2 inch would probably run the generator but you might find it "starved" under heavy load conditions.

Strictly speaking as an amateur: 3/4" pipe is fine for an average household fun. Be sure to use the gas-type pipe thread tape or liquid sealer, and check for leaks. Believe the unit comes with a standard 110VAC plug, and that is low amperage. Unit works like a champ and the Takagi folks I communicated with were very helpful. Be sure the exhaust vents properly so that you have no (odorless) CO accumulation!

Yes the 3" just slips over the end and use a standard hose clamp to secure. You shouldn't have any leakage and there is no other adapter needed.

No use the viega connections 1/2 in is pex outlet size. 3/4 " supply & hot & cold

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.

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.

Should be fine, we run it for half hour straight without any issue. Pressure just like home. Works great!

The Hot and Cold connections for this valve is 1/2 inch The 1inch line will need to be reduced

I have one inch (none drip) tube running from the tap around the garden (more than 100 ft) and I have connected few of these drip lines into that. It works fine. But I have not tried connecting inch to 1/4 inch. But if you have enough water pressure, this should works.

No, the internal thread is 1/2" NPT. The easiest thin to do is put a 1/2" hose bibb on it and connect your garden hose to that. Or if you don't want a valve ten you néed a 1/2" male NPT to male hose thread adapter.

Air Inlet/Outlet: 1/2-inch NPT (that is stated under the details)., they are female, does not matter how far, mine works well. I have learned a lot, about compressed air, and spent a lot of time researching it. The single best thing you can do it to installe a after cooler on your compressor. I did just that and never have a water in my lines,

The out is 1/2 i.d. tube fitting on it but can be removed to have a 1in npt. You can get a bushing to do this at lowes to bring it to a 1/4 npt thats what I did.

I use a 1/4 inch hose with no issues. I have only used it for small projects but recovery is very fast so I would predict no issues with either.

You can only use the pro-flex compression fittings. Other brand fittings or standard fittings will not work with this pipe. Once you install the pro-flex fitting you can use any NPT fitting you want.
