Hi
Not sure if this is the right forum but i wanted advise on flow rates coming into a house.
I have an incoming blue MDPE 20mm pipe that terminates into some kind of connector that goes to 15mm copper. From here into a stop tap and then to the rest of the house. Testing the flow rate at different points in the day I get a constant 6-7 litres per minute.
Questions
1) Whats the maximum flow rate through 20mm MDPE?
2) Whats maximum flow rate through 15mm copper?
3) Forgive me ignorance but how does pressure effect the flow rate? (I havent been able to test the pressure yet)
4) Would moving from 15mm copper to 22mm make a difference in flow rate.
My main issue is that as soon as you try and use 2 cold outlets at once the flow rate goes down the pan!
Thanks
