Main line pipe diameter under standard practice is sized to achieve < 5 feet-per-second water velocity.
Wet-well intake pipe diameter under standard practice is sized to achieve < 1.5 feet-per-second water velocity.
Velocities listed are based on the actual internal diameter fo the pipe. Verify internal diameter based on class or type of pipe being used.
