I have determined that I will be needing 1 1/4" black pipe for a run of 40 feet. Off of my meter is a 1" 90 that has been capped ( old pool heater line that was removed years ago) My question is can I hook to that 90 and increase from there to 11/4 or do I have to make a new connection from the meter that would start at 1 1/4. I am wondering if the small hookup size will give me problems in terms of volume and pressure. It would be MUCH easier to hook up to the 1" than to rebuild the section of pipe that also feeds my house.
