discharge 2 inch connect to header of 4 inch

[chemengsd]

Dear all,
have a good day...
we want to replace vertical pumps with self priming pumps, can we use the old header which is 4 inch with new pumps which is their discharge is 2 inch? is there is drop in pressure? ... please.

No problem.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

Should not be a problem. The operating pressure will depend on the pump performance curve and the system head loss.
