I've replaced lot of my old pipes with PEX. All 1/2 inch minus some of the PVC line that comes from mainline and to water heater, which is 3/4 maybe 1 inch pvc. All after that is 1/2 PEX line that then feeds into quick connect manifolds that I built. Water flow is good, but the line that goes up to my 2nd floor bathroom is a little weak. If I increases the inlet to the manifold diameter to 3/4 or even 1 inch would that make a difference? Leaving the 1/2 PEX branching out to rest of the house?
So main is PVC (1 or 3/4 inch can't rememeber) then splits to water heater. Comes out of water heater by PVC. Both lines get reduced to 1/2 inch to PEX by a reducer. Then PEX 1/2 inch goes into manifold branching out 1/2 inch PEX throughout the house.
Just hange inlet to higher diameter?
Maybe change diameter of manifold to 3/4 stem x 1/2 outlets?
Or 1 inch stem?
