Ok so theoretical question here...
I have an overflow in my tank with a hole that measures 3/4" in diameter...
my overflow pipe is 1" pvc. And the pvc on the otherwise of my overflow, the bottom of the tank, is also 1" pvc.
Does it matter if the pvc is 1" (or larger for that matter)? Meaning the narrow 3/4" section will restrict flow enough that it doesn't matter how large in diameter the pvc is on either side, it will restrict the flow as if the whole run is 3/4"
Hope that makes sense. All along I was thinking my overflow plumbing was 1" when in reality it's flowing like it's 3/4"
