Question
If the pressure in a water feed to a house is 45 psi, what is the pressure in a faucet 25 ft above the feed when no other water is being used in the house, assuming a head loss of 12 ft in the service connection? Assume same diameter pipe throughout.If the pressure in a water feed to a house is 45 psi, what is the pressure in a faucet 25 ft above the feed when no other water is being used in the house, assuming a head loss of 12 ft in the service connection?

Explanation / Answer
Pressure in faucet = (Water pressure at main-Head loss) - Head above the main
=(45- 12*0.434)-(25*0.434)
=28.942 Psi
