Hello All,
I am a DIY replacing polybut. plumbing throughout my 2-story house with PEX. I am doing it piece meal as I renovate the home. My next project is the upstairs bath which has two sinks, toilet and separate shower/bath. That is a total of 5 cold lines and 4 hot. Current setup has a 3/4 line going to the crawlspace directly below the wall containing the plumbing, then seperating out into 1/2 lines to go to the bathroom.
Rather than replacing 9 lines up 2 stories, can I run the 3/4 inch lines (1 hot, 1 cold) up to the bath and then into mini-manifolds? This would be easier for me (by myself) and would seem like a better set up for hot water (hot water at sink, only a short distance then to get hot water to the shower in the mornings).
Thanks guys/gals, I am still learning this plastic plumbing stuff - very different from the copper I am used to!
