The inlet of the float valve should match your supply plumbing. For instance if your supply plumbing is 1" you will get no better performance from a 2" valve. Your flow rate will always be limited by the smallest pipe. Always match your float valve inlet size to your water supply pipe size. If you intend on upgrading your water supply plumbing at some point you can always purchase a different tail. More information below. Vortex Float Valve Tails.
