I'm planning on re-doing the entire hot and cold water supply in tri-level home. Most of the plumbing is located in the open ceiling of a utility room and the bathrooms will have the walls opened. It is a small utility room (10x14) with very little space left over after the washer, dryer, laundry tub and forced air furnace with all terminating points accessible from this one room, so a "home run" installation does not make sense.
After trying to bend the PEX around some corners, I'm thinking of just giving up and installing 3/4" PEX and a bunch of 90s, dropping down to 1/2" as it goes to the stops.
I know this will cost more, but my question is, how badly will the 90s affect volume/pressure ? There could be as many as 8 90s required to make a "clean installation" to the laundry tub.
