I bought a house 1 1/2 yrs ago that was built in 1956 so you know it has galvanized pipe for the water supply. I want to replace all of the plumbing pipes and am planning on using Pex and a manifold. Currently, the basement where the water supply enters the basement has an open ceiling and the water pipes hang under the joists. Is there any reason that I could not run the Pex through the joists when going across the joists and run them up in the joists when running them parallel to the joists? Yes, I will rent a right angle saw to drill the holes in the joists and I know there is a formula for where I should drill the joists; also I think the joists are 2 x 8's' the house has 1 full bath, 1/2 bath and kitchen and lines for washer in the basement and 2 outside spigots. I would like to add and laundry sink in the basement.
