SE Ohio Member	# Posted: 4 Apr 2020 11:43am Reply 1. Is 3/4â€ diameter sufficient for a pitcher pump supply line, 25â€™ run and maybe 6â€™ rise/lift? I think pump is rated to lift 20-25â€™ but with larger pipe Iâ€™m guessing. 2 How to attach PEx to pump? Pump has female threads, about 1.125â€ diameter Goal is to pipe underground from rain barrel to indoor pump. 1â€ PEx is made but is pricey online. Iâ€™m hoping to online-order all components.
