Can't seem to find alot of info on PEX installs. Lots of info on running lines, but not answers to a few questions.
Location of PEX manifold: (talking 4-5 port for hot, 6-8 for cold)
Can I put a PEX manifold under a bathroom sink cabinet
or
In the wall that has access from the bathroom sink cabinet.
or
am I just stuck with access panel in the drywall?
Washer, dishwasher, icemaker lines:
Plan on using a hot water mixing valve on the water heater.
Should I use the bypass for the washer and dishwasher?
Would this effect the pressure benefits of a manifold?
If I don't use the bypass should I run single lines for the dishwasher and ice maker or just tee off the sink like the old standard so I can run the hot water to make sure its hot when it hits the dishwasher.
Thanks for your time.
