I can bring all my pipes into the thermal envelop of my house aka not in the crawl space. I just don’t know if it would be considered workmanship like. Looking on input.
House Layout, and idea: (has image)
The part of the house in question is the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom. They are all on an outside wall in a row. The water comes in from the main in the corner of the kitchen. On the photo I have marked the * water main in, fridge, sink, dishwasher, washer, dryer, hot water heater, bath tub, water closet, bath sink.
The washer and dryer are on the back wall, 4-5 inches out against a plumbing chase (keeping pipes out of exterior wall), that lets the drain of the clothes washer run 3.5 feet in to the interior wall for the vent. (green mark in laundry)
I'm thinking of bring the water main supply up under the kitchen cabinets with a shut off ( where it is now BTW). Then instead of going back down into the crawl, Just run the water from the shut off under the kitchen cabinets in toe kick (green mark in kitchen). Then in to plumbing chase in the laundry. From there To manifold and Hot water heater. Have home runs as need run in plumbing chase and in toe kick.
The short of it:
Bring water in from corner of house in to cabinets.
Run all home runs, manifold supply’s, and hot water supply’s under the kitchen cabinets toe kick and in plumbing chase in laundry (green Line)
No pipe but for short run from ground to kitchen floor will be in the crawl.
What do you think? Good or bad? There is room for the homeruns needed in the plumbing chase and Toe kick. I could even make the plumbing chase open like a trunk and the base of the cabinets open for inspections or repairs?
Good or bad??
Thanks for your time.
