Now that I'm finishing up the drains I'm looking to install the water supply lines. I'm going with PEX A pipe. Is there a good resource for designing the best system for a house like ours? I'm somewhat familiar with the old-style trunk and branch system as well as the logic system, but am not sure what would be the best option for this house.
It's a single story on a crawlspace. I've attached a drawing. My main concern is that it's quite a distance from the hot water heater to the full bath and am interested in what would be the best way to not to have to wait for a long time for hot water for the lavatory, tub, etc. While the kitchen is fairy close, the half bath is farther, but it probably won't get used that much so waiting for hot water for the lav. isn't a really big concern
Also, as for brands, the big box near me carries Apollo while I would have to mail order Upanor, etc. Is there a significant difference between brands?
I've already purchased a DeWalt expansion tool and want to get started.
I'm sure that I will have many more questions soon.
Any insights or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
