Hi,
I've tried to test my understanding of water supply, fixtures, and this handy sizing chart by doing a hypothetical replumb (copper) for my home. I'm hoping that more experienced folks can tell me how I did.

I've tried to test my understanding of water supply, fixtures, and this handy sizing chart by doing a hypothetical replumb (copper) for my home. I'm hoping that more experienced folks can tell me how I did.
Notes:
- It's a small house, so I'm pretty sure everything falls well under the 80-foot threshold.
- For simplicity, the diagram combines the laundry sink+washer as well as the kitchen sink+dishwasher.
- The service line is 3/4".
- The main cold water run to the water heater is already plumbed in 3/4" copper, which is why I kept that sizing even though I calculated the total units (20) to be slightly over the limit of 19. (Is this okay?)
Thanks in advance for any feedback, corrections, suggestions, or additional reading...
