Please explain your theory on that seeing as how the water pump or city pressure will actually set the actual pressure.
Reminds me of an old plumber I met years ago. When questioned as to why he ran a 1/2" line to feed the 3rd floor of a building Stated the same idea. Problem is it is a false thought and there was a very limited flow of water going that distance. Could not refill the toilet and fill a water glass at same time. Cost him lots of $$ to replace as it should have been in first place. That's why buildings over a certain height have to add booster pumps to get water to upper floors.

I’m not talking about going vertical to another floor but if you decrease inside diameter of pipe, the pressure will increase in the smaller pipe but not when it leaves if it goes into bigger pipe. That’s based on aircraft Hydraulics when I was a mechanic during Vietnam era.
