    pipe diameter is important to have a proper flow rate , if u use the delivery side for any pressure based application pipe diameter and its material is also very important.

    hi..

    paint will not be in a pressurised container.. i am simply pumping and transferring paint thru a delivery tube up to a head of max 3m..

    hi,
    then its okay, u just have the delivery little smaller than the suction pipe diameter eg(2"-1.75").
