Note: A good way to think about tubing size is to imagine drinking from a straw. If you were to try to drink a glass of water with a cocktail straw it would take much longer than if you were to drink that same glass of water from a standard size straw. Over the years we have developed a chart to help our customer's size their tubing. Please see below.

Plumbing Tip: Try to avoid 90 degree turns for this will cause friction slowing down and reducing your water flow. We always recommend Flexible piping instead of rigid piping to avoid connections that can not only leak but cause friction loss reducing your water flow.
