I like to use the analogy of how VOLTAGE (water pressure) drops as CURRENT (CFM of water flow) flows through a RESISTANCE (smaller pipe = more resistance to flow) ... Just as Voltage drop = I x R Pressure Drop across a pipe is flow (CFM) X resistance. Voltage drops as current flows through a wire just as pressure drops as water flows through a pipe and smaller pipe = more resistance to flow
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bigger pipe still = less voltage drop REGARDLESS if there were a small restriction at say the meter where it goes out the pipe to the house.
Using bigger line reduces line pressure drop REGARDLESS if there was a 1/2 or 1 inch or whatever at the meter. Use what you like but the FACT remains bigger pipe = less pressure drop
