Let's see. Reduce the pipe size to less than 1/3 the manufacturer
requirements? Why not?

Lesson #1- don't ever expect a real answer to a real question on this
thin rag of a bulletin board. Thought I would give it a try but all you
self-professed experts who masquerade as real do-it yourselfers are
more than a little pathetic. If anyone wants to seriously answer my
question, I would be more than happy to enter a real dialogue. I wish I
had a filter to screen out the mental midgets who feel the need to give
their 2 cents to a question that someone is actually trying to get an
answer to. Yes - I am talking to you Steve Scott, Bubba. Leave the
basement once and awhile.

NO TIME FOR DOPES. DON'T RESPOND.
