About this app

Water Pipe Sizing Calculator sizes water supply distribution piping per the printed IPC 2024 Table E103.3(2). Determine the minimum pipe size from WSFU load, meter & service line size, developed length and available pressure range (30-39, 40-49, 50-60, over 60 psi). Works 100% offline on the job site. Calculate pipe sizes in seconds instead of manually referencing code tables - reduce errors, ensure full code compliance, speed up material estimates.

FEATURES
• IPC 2024 Table E103.3(2): the complete printed table - minimum size of water meters, mains and distribution piping by WSFU
• 4 Pressure Ranges per the code: 30-39, 40-49, 50-60 and over 60 psi
• Meter & Service Line Sizes: 3/4", 1", 1-1/2" and 2" with the printed distribution combinations (1/2" through 2-1/2")
• Developed Lengths 40 to 500 ft: exact printed length brackets, with a clear notice beyond 500 ft
• WSFU-Based Sizing: Input total Water Supply Fixture Units from fixture unit calculator
• Material noted for the record: per the IPC the table applies to all approved materials (copper, CPVC, PEX, galvanized)

HOW IT WORKS
1. Enter total WSFU load from fixture unit calculator
2. Select the available pressure (mapped to the printed 30-39 / 40-49 / 50-60 / over 60 psi ranges)
3. Select the meter & service line size and your pipe material
4. Enter longest developed pipe length
5. See the minimum distribution pipe size with its printed WSFU capacity

What’s new

Sizing now uses the complete printed IPC 2024 Table E103.3(2): meter & service line size axis added (3/4"-2"), pressure grouped into the printed ranges (30-39/40-49/50-60/over 60 psi incl. a new Over 60 option), developed lengths 40-500 ft. Per the IPC the table applies to all materials; material is kept for the record.
