He he.

What "M. Sunshine" might have missed is that the tee is 1 and 1/2 (1.5) inch in size, which has an ID of about 1 7/8 (1.875) inch.

Last I checked, a tee of that size wasn't significantly restrictive, even theoretically, given a 4 gpm flow!

edit: calculated, the pressure drop across the run of a tee, 1 1/2 inch at 4 gpm is approximately the equivalent of a quarter inch of head.

Given that the expected head is about 11 feet, I'm not going to loose any sleep over it...
