Actually looks OK according to the calculator. I expected higher friction losses but I guess the flow rate is low enough.



I'd use at least 1-1/4 though as it'll form a layer of build up on the inside of the pipe overtime shrinking the diameter and creating a rougher surface. Calculator is based on clean smooth pipe.
