Scottville, 49454 Northwest Michigan | Some of you have mentioned the need for larger sized mains. This was probably the most significant aspect of tiling I learned at the Overholt Drainage School.
Below is a website supported by the ADS tile company that helps to calculate the necessary size for tile mains. Actually, it could also be used to size laterals. I have a slide-rule type calculator that I keep on hand to determine what size mains I need. I think I got mine from Prinsco. They're handy to have.
