Hi All,
I am doing an extensive remodel of my basement, including redoing all the mechanicals and electricals. This is in the Bellevue, WA area.
I am getting ready to replace the galvanized water main from the meter.
However, there was a previous addition to the house right over top ofthe water main.
So I will be relocating it to a different location in the basement where I can get access to the outside foundation dig and drill the concrete.
Here's the question. Is there a code requirement how far the main shut valve can be from where the main enters the house? I would like to have it in the utility room where it currently is. But the new location I am entering the foundation from is about 20 feet away. Right along the wall I was planning on using for the home theater.
Can I bring the PE pipe in the foundation and turn 90deg and bring it through drilled studs to the utility room?
Thanks.........Darin
