Plumbing question
I am trying to figure out which pump I should buy for my new tank. My problem is I am having a hard time finding my head pressure. I am going to be splitting my main return and feeding my chiller with the main pump as well. I will require the following plumbing.
1.5 in plumbing: 2 45 deg 3 Ball valves 3 Unions 6 90 deg 2 Tees 1 in Plumbing: 1 Gate Valve 4 Ball Valves 4 Unions 1 45 deg 3 90 deg The 1.5 in plumbing will be running 4 ft Vertical and 4 ft horizontal The 1 in plumbing will be running 4 ft Vertical and 13 ft horizontal I am hoping to get 1500gph out of the system and no more then 500gph can go though the chiller. If I missed something please let me know. Thanks, Keith |

There is a head loss calculator on the rc home page, left hand side.

Here is a page on our website with the piping instry standard chart used to calculate friction loss:

Ball valves and unions should be full port, which means they will not affect friction loss as long as they are good quality valves and unions.
