Years ago FM used 25-fps but I'm pretty sure it's no longer in the FM Data Sheets. It's still a good rule-of-thumb though. Some plumbing designers use 32-fps as a max velocity. Much faster than that and certain piping configurations can produce cavitation (imagine the sound of a continuously flushing toilet). I'm sure others out there will have a more precise answer for you. Daniel LeClair, P.E.
