i replaced the hot and cold lines to my kitchen sink to facilitate some plumbing reconfiguration in the basement (moving a washing machine). at the two branches where the old washing machine was fed, i couldn't get the water to stop dripping to solder on a cap, so i used the white bread technique. for replacing the rest of the 1/2" copper line to the sink, i used 1/2" PEX. the length of the run is about 18ft.
so, is it the PEX that caused the pressure drop, or do i just need to wait for the white bread to disintegrate?
will this loss of pressure (hopefully temporary) adversely affect my dishwasher which is also fed at the kitchen sink?
thanks
