I suggest a 1” meter with a 1.25” main line.,
In this post you say it’s on the borderline of needing a 2” pipe.I don't know where you keep coming up with two inch this is another thing where you need to read.
The only thing the number of bedrooms determines, is the size of the water heater.
Where in there did I recommend two inch? Or is it all the other posts where I keep saying inch and a quarter?In this post you say it’s on the borderline of needing a 2” pipe.

Here in this post you say 1.25” is ok.

so from the border of 2” we skip 1.5”and arrive at 1.25” ? Is that what the book says ?Right on the border is right on the border, but he's on the 1-1/4"side.
In that pressure relm yes. There isn't a big enough difference between the two as far as the code is concerned.
The pressure drop at the meter is why they upsize it. He's close to the minimum pressure. That's why it's goofy.
I don't have the book in front of me but I think 46 units is where it jumps to 2".
A 4" pipe is 4 times bigger than a 2" pipe. Pipe size is a function of the square. You can't just guess.
Your mixing and matching. This is why we don't get along, you don't follow lines of logic. You just take left turns.
Ok here's the book. A 1"meter can do 38 units. A 1.5 can do 45. So add up the units again and see. I think i came up with like 40 I don't quite remember. I think i figured 6 each for his hydrants.
