Joe.........you write.........On the practical side.........
Is the following correct?
(1) Using a 110 volt (pressure of water) 15 Amp(volume of water) breaker. The wire size of 14 guage (diameter of pipe means only a fixed volume) will only operate eight plugs (sprinklers).........thats ok
(2) However using a 110 volt(pressure of water) 20 Amp (volume of water)) breaker. The wire size of 12 guage ( diameter of the pipe is greater meaning more volume) will operate 11 plugs (sprinklers)........thats ok
Am I correct in my understanding and description?Yes, BUT...... To further amplify your understanding: IFF (by defination): a good sprinkler is a 10' squirt. In version (2) If'n wire size was 14 ga w/20amp, you would still only beable to operate 8 sprinklers.......or......if 15 amp breaker w/12ga wire you'd still only beable to operate 8 sprinklers.....BUT....if'n you were happy with an 8' squirt, you'd probably get 10 sprinklers to squirt 8' in each case...........Dell
