Hey so we are planning out the trailer for this coming season. We are switching to Jobe valves for the float valve situation. We will have two source hoses coming in. 3/4’’ flexzilla, bypassing the real into a 1’ hose that will go to the valve. With two of these hoses coming in should 1’’ valve be enough if I have them come in at a T joint. Or is 2’’ better? Not a price different issue I think I am just overthinking that the bigger the valve may have an adverse effect.
I’m sure someone can speak to the flow rates and all that… but in my head 3/4” + 3/4” = more than 1”… though not always the case, I think bigger is better is fine when talking about buffer tank supply.
Slightly, but yes. .88 sq. inches for a two 3/4" vs. .79 sq. inches. for a single 1"
So in theory 1.25” would be sufficient and 2” would be way overkill?
1 1/16" Would be equal to 2x 3/4"
Yea, but I don’t believe they make them that size… 1”, 1-1/4”, of 2”… of those 3, the 1-1/4” would do well in this application.
I know, I was just giving you the exact numbers. 1 1/4" is plenty
I’ve got a 1 inch and a 3/4 inch on my tank. No difference in flow at all but the 1 inch needs a reducer in line which adds a potential leak point. Don’t drive with the tank full. Jobe valves don’t like sloshing.

They have 1 1/2’’ I may just do that if I bring the two supply/ source hoses together. If we don’t we will have two 1’’ And just have one lower and it’ll shut off at 80% full and the other will shut off at 95%. Sounds to complicated to do that way so I will bring them together probably.
I’ve got a big supply reel with 200ft of 3/4, and the swivel is 1in going to a 1in hudson. i thinknit does fine
The supply hose and 1’’ going into the valve isn’t the issue I want to have two of these supply hoses feeding into one valve. Curious if that would make you want to change jobe valve inlet size at all
1” T reduced to 3/4 ball valves to both inlets. Don’t over complicate it lol

Scratch that, misread it.
That’s the plan man!
