I’m adding a bathroom to my basement and struggling with the supply lines. Mainly with how to arrange shut off valves so it doesn’t look hacked together.
From the right I have the main supply lines coming into the utility closet. The main lines go up to the first floor to supply the whole house, I was going to install a shut off for each once split off. The new bathroom will be to the left. Originally I was going to have a shut off for the hot and cold for everything in the new bathroom. Obviously the toilet and lav will have their own shut off valves at the fixture. The issue I see is if there’s a problem with the shower the whole bathroom will be shut down. I searched past post and looked up IPC which says you need shut offs at each fixture besides showers and baths. Is this ok or would you suggest I run a line to the shower with its own valves and another independent line to the lav and toilet? If separate lines I’m assuming I still need(want) a shut off for that trunk despite everything having its own shut off valve.
I’m just trying to picture the branch going up, shower going left, other branch line going down all with valves scattered around. Everything is crammed to the left side with little room for a bunch of valves unless I have zig zags of piping, which I’m not opposed to if it’s the right way.
Any input would be appreciated!
