Sweated plenty of copper and wish I could repipe with it but unfortunately not happening. This will be my first PEX job and am using Upunor A. I have a cold water slab leak with fittings under the slab- no loop setup- everything was 1/2” copper cold and hot supply’s.
I have my main trunk and most of the replacement branches opened and ready to drill holes- fortunately access from eve space 2 story Cape on a well.
Question 1: PEX does not tolerate UV so in my main supply utility/laundry with a window I should probably stay 3/4” copper and swap to PEX in the overhead joists- thought it might be easier to just cut in the PEX off the well receiver.
Question 2: Master bath and half bath abutt each other and currently share all cold and hot 1/2” copper supply- does it make sense to run 3/4” branches and preserve the above grade copper to limit a full remodel as one of these baths is already remodeled.
Master downstairs that adjoins the half bath has toilet and sink on opposite wall planned on 1/2” to the hot and should I run 3/4 to the sink/toilet then drop to 1/2” or is 1/2” from the end of 3/4” enough.
