Bath 1 :
Corner tub with large rain head
2 sinks
Toilet
Bath 2:
Shower with 2 heads and a hand held
Sink
Toilet
I also have an outside faucet in the area and will run that too.
All these items are about 40 feet from water heater.
My house is will be supplied with a 3/4 come spring so I do not know what the presure will be like yet. Curently my 1/2 lead main gives decent pressure but no numbers on it.
I was thiking 3x 3/4 for both hot and cold.
1 set for each the tub and shower
1 set for everything else(3 sinks 2 toilets 1 hose)
Alternatly I am being told a homerun would be fine. I think that could be true for all but the shower. So, homerun + 1 set 3/4 for shower?
Thanks to all that read this through.
Edit: Found a link to the sizing charts. Seems I need 25 cold and 17 hot units. I know its slightly north of the 39 units on the scale but I will stick with the 3/4 to the meter (higher monthly fees for larger). So after the meter I can bumb to 1 1/4.
Edit: the silence was telling me I was way off. Each Bath is now served by one 3/4 pex line with branches for smaller fixtures. Kitchen and laundry share a 3/4 set. Spigots have their own. Each set has shut offs at end and source.
