There are no such regulations for pipe size restrictions. But sizes will vary wrt to required flow and by keeping the velocity Maximum up to 1.5 to 2.5 m/s. As per engg practice 16 mm is the minimum pipe size with used for the individual fixtures. Hope this feedback will help you guys to understand.
