I am trying to work on a "budget" for renovating my existing 1/2" galvanized plumbing with a manifold and PEX. I have read a good deal about manifolds and PEX, but have a couple questions.
My Master BA has a sink, toilet and bath (no shower, yet), from the manifold would I need to run 5 homeruns, or could I tee off of the cold for the sink for the toilet?
In the kitchen, I have a double basin sink, dishwasher and refrigerator. Do I need to homerun the fridge (for ice maker and water in door) and the dishwasher or could I tee them also?
Also, the house is supplied by 1/2" galvanized (I know, I know), I have been pondering on upgrading that to 3/4" poly, but I am worried that the increase in pressure will create leaks in the galvanized that is in place. Should I be worried about this?
Thanks in advance!
