EXAMPLE 6.2<br />

A domestic cold-water service system is shown in Fig. 6.8. The water main in the street<br />

is 50 m from the entry point shown and the supply authority provides a minimum static<br />

pressure of 20 m water gauge. The velocity energy and the frictional resistance at the ball<br />

valve amount to 2 m water gauge. Determine the pipe sizes.<br />
