Pipe Size
The required pipe size depends on the number of units sharing lines, size of the STPs
(dispensers only), and length of the run. The following guidelines must be followed:
Pumps (Standard Flow)
Use new pipes of 2, 2-1/2, or 3 inches.
• Pipe of 2 inches for runs up to 50 feet to a single pump
• Pipe of 2-1/2 or 3 inches for longer runs up to 75 feet to a single pump with maximum lift
condition
Note: A dedicated line is recommended to supply each self-contained pump.
Pumps (High Flow)
Use new pipes of 3, 3-1/2, or 4 inches.
• Pipe of 3 inches for runs up to 50 feet to a single pump
• Pipe of 3-1/2 or 4 inches for longer runs up to 75 feet to a single pump with maximum lift
condition
Note: A dedicated line is recommended to supply each self-contained pump.
Dispensers (Standard Flow)
Use new pipes of 2, 2-1/2, or 3 inches.
Notes: 1) If the distance from the STP to the farthest dispenser is 200 feet or less, use a pipe
of 2 inches.
2) If the distance exceeds 200 feet, use a pipe of 2-1/2 or 3 inches to the first dispenser
and a pipe of 2 inches along the rest of the way. Trunk lines supplying multiple
dispensers must be larger and must be sized to provide low pressure drops for an
anticipated flow rate. Use of smaller size pipes may result in lower flow rates than
normally accepted.
Dispensers (High Flow)
Use new pipes of 3, 3-1/2, or 4 inches.
Notes: 1) If the distance from the STP to the farthest dispenser is 200 feet or less, use a pipe
of 3 inches.
2) If the distance exceeds 200 feet, use a pipe of 3-1/2 or 4 inches to the first dispenser
and a pipe of 3 inches along the rest of the way. Trunk lines supplying multiple
dispensers must be larger and must be sized to provide low pressure drops for an
anticipated flow rate.
Dispensers (Latitude High Gallon)
Use new 3- or 4-inch pipe.
Notes: 1) If the distance from the STP to the farthest dispenser is 75 feet or less, use a pipe
of 3 inches.
2) If the distance exceeds 75 feet, use a pipe of 4 inches to the first dispenser and a pipe
of 3 inches along the rest of the way. Trunk lines supplying multiple dispensers must
be larger and must be sized to provide low pressure drops for an anticipated flow
rate.
