Hi,
Shortly I will be doing a tub/shower replacement in our upstairs bathroom. I have to re-plumb the tub and shower and will be adding a new mixing valve and diverter for a hose/wand sprayer as well. I would like to change the existing bit of plumbing from 1/2 inch copper to PEX. But, I notice that the inside diameter size of the 1/2 inch PEX is smaller than that 1/2 copper. Is this anything to be concerned about when doing renos and changing pumbing pipe? Will any pressure be lost? For lines feeding fixtures in a bathroom is there any advantage to change it to a 3/4 inch PEX?
Thanks,
Hal
