Soon I am going to replace all the galvanized pipes in my house and originally intended on using a combination of copper and PEX. My water heater is in the attic and I had planned on using 3/4 copper from the main and up and back from the water heater and then branch out with PEX supply lines. I just figured that would be best becuase that is what was done by the plumber who re plumbed everthing in a friends remodel project. Is there any great advantage to this or would PEX be suitable for the vertical pipes that go back and forth from the attic inside the walls. Either way I will be removing the drywall where the pipes would be while re doing my luandry room.
I realize copper is generally preferred but this is just a starter house that will either be sold or rented out in a few years. Anything would be better than the hodge podge of pipes I have right now.
