Thanks for the reply. Seems like a bad idea to me as well but the plumber says he does this all of the time. It's not a fly by night plumber; it's a family business that's been around a very long time serving a high end and demanding clientele.

I have galvanized steel pipes, about 47 years old, and the hot water pressure is very low, even on the short runs. I can see where some leaks have been repaired in the past and there are some rust spots in other areas. I've been advised to change the horizontal supply lines first because they...
