A water main is being replaced,and in addition the fixtures that need supply are a tub/shower,toilet supply,bathroom and kitchen sinks,and in the near future a washer. The plumber says he can run the piping either of two ways: 1.) Run 3/4" piping up to and inside the house using a 3/4" reducing T to 1/2" going to each fixture. 2.) Or, run 3/4" piping up to the house then run into the house 1/2" piping. The plumber said option 1 might give you better water volume but reduced water pressure. Option 2 might increase the water pressure slightly going from 3/4" to 1/2" piping into the house. I simply want good water pressure and volume in the cases where fixtures are used simultaneously.
