We built a new addition in 2017, added over 1000sq ft.
Due to budget restraints and my decent DIY talents I've been doing the finishing, (install of doors, hardwood, full kitchen, landscaping, decks, etc.... However the master bath is just getting started now.
Our contractor's plumber installed 3/4 copper from the old city supply line (which is 3/4) to the new section of the home, branching off for the existing rooms .
Master bath has hot and cold 3/4 copper capped at the bottom of my shower wall.
MY QUESTION....
Should I transition to 1/2 copper at that point or run the 3/4 copper 3ft up and connect directly to the faucet? (delta faucet solder connection is 1/2 so at one point I'm going to have to reduce the pipe)
Will the few feet of 1/2 copper make any difference in water pressure?
Shower will have rain shower and handheld shower on a slide bar, no wall sprays.
Thank you.
