The cross sectional area between the 2" and the 1.25" pipe is very close to the area of a 1.25" pipe. So both the primary and secondary should each be capable of flowing what is typical for a 1.25" drain.

Christy,

You guys have an Andrew Sheret in Nanaimo. They should have anything you'd need. But they won't sell you pipe by the foot.

Here's the address:

2545 McCULLOUGH ROAD
