To achieve maximal flow from node 1 to node 7, we need to find the path with the smallest flow rate. In this case, the path with the smallest flow rate is node 1 to node 2 to node 4 to node 7, which has a flow capacity of 700 gallons/hour. Therefore, the flow from node 2 to node 4 should be 700 gallons/hour.
