So if you are running 7 heads with great pressure right at the meter, then try to do the same 200' behind the meter and up an incline you could have a problem. I always try to be conservative... keeps me out of trouble and leaves the option to add a head in the future.

If you are being conservative use 0.433 per ft. instead of .5
6.70 psi per hundred ft. difference
