Hello all,
I'm remodeling a bath with:
1) Tub/Shower about 7 feet from hot water heater
2) 3/4 inch pex to shower from water heater
3) Toilet on other side of shower, about 13 feet from hot water heater (1/2 pex)
Given 3/4 inch pex to shower, will tapping into it about 4 feet from shower for the toilet supply cause my sking to melt when someone flushes the toilet?
If running the cold straight from the waterheater (extra 4 feet) would help, then I'd do it. But the water heater is in the basement and the surrounding area is packed with pipes and tubes, so I'd prefer to branch inside the bathroom.
All comments appreciated!
