If I tee the hot and cold together (after the faucets mix the temp) into a single 1/2 uponer pex line and run that to the fill spout will I get enough flow out of the pex? I don't want it to take forever to fill the 2-person tub.
The spout I'm using is an OS&B Fill and Drain combination. It only takes 1 pipe going into it.
Logically I'm thinking that whether I run 2 lines that Tee right at the back of the fill spout or if I Tee 2 lines at the faucets and run a single line to the back of the fill spout, its going to be the same flow rate, correct? The difference between Teeing right at the back of the fill spout is the water only travels in a single pipe for a distance of about 1 inch versus about 4 feet the other way. But I have to believe water must always flow at a rate constrained by the smallest diameter and it doesn't matter where its located?
