5 taps on an 20mm MDPE pipe?

[jrote1]

I work at a stables and i'm setting up some taps using 20mm MDPE piping I was wondering if there would be enough water and pressure to power the taps from the main pipe for them to be usable. The taps will just be taken from the MDPE pipe which is buried and will come straight out the ground at a height of about 1.5m with 15mm copper piping. Will this work or will i need to use 25mm MDPE. About a maxium of three tabs will be used at anyone time and the feed will come from the supply to the original tap which is either 15mm or 22mm Copper Pipe more than than likely 15mm.

Thanks In Advance Jake.

well, if the supply pipe is smaller than the branch then NO it wont work well at all, a 1" pipe ( 25 mm ) would do 5 taps easilly enough, but Sizing up the branch is going to do nothing for the volume as the original pipe can only supply what it is capablle of.
