My house currently has 1 full bath on the second floor. I am changing that situation to 2 full baths on second floor plus a 1/2 bath on first floor. In the process I am redoing all of the supply and drain plumbing (entire house). I'm almost through with the DWV and doing some supply planning.
When I am done I want to have a setup that minimizes pressure drops in the shower (especially) and lavs with toilet flushing, dishwasher and clothes washer running etc.
Here' the final configuration:
Basement - hot water heater, clothes waser, and laundry sink
First floor - 1/2 bath, kitchen sink, dishwasher
Second floor - Guest bath: tub/shower, toilet, vanity
Master bath: shower with 2 heads, toilet, 2 vanities
I should also note that the way the plumbing will route (at least the easiest way - could do other if it will help with pressure) to the second floor baths is:
Guest Bath - lav, then toilet, then tub/shower. I could also easily pickup the master toilet and lavs from this run, but this might be too much for 3/4"?
Master bath - the layout is such that the toilet is first and then the 2 lavs are to one side and the 2 shower heads are to the other side
Should I run a separate 3/4" hot and cold line to second floor for each bath and then go to 1/2" at each fixture?
I'll be happy to supply additional info anyone wants. I appreciate your time and advice.
Thanks,
Joel
