Water Supply. The supply line to the toilet is standard 1/2-inch copper pipe.

This 1/2-inch pipe connects to the home's 3/4-inch water pipes. The water supply line does not run directly to the toilet, however.
Common Wire Gauges The common U.S. wire gauges (called AWG gauges) refer to sizes of copper wire. The resistivity of copper at 20 C is about . This table uses this value of resistivity, but it is known to vary by a few percent based on purity and process of manufacture. *The AWG system states areas of round copper wires in circular mils, which is the square of the diameter in mils. 1 mil =.001 inch.
