My home is a manufactured home on a basement. The main water line coming into the house is 2 inch PVC. It is reduced to 3/4 at the entry right after a 2 inch ball valve main shut off. From there, 3/4 inch PVC runs the length of the house (60 feet) to the main hookup to the home's polybutylene plumbing system. I'm in the process of converting all the poly to PEX. I'm also wanting to replace the 60 feet of PVC with PEX. My question: is there a standard on reducing from 2 inch to 3/4 inch? Or should I reduce to 1 inch (PEX) for the main throughout the house and reduce to 3/4 or 1/2 for the hookups to sinks, heaters, etc?
I'm including a photo of the 2 inch coming in with the ball valve and the horrible reducing job the previous person did.
