I'm doing a remodel & adding a basement bath. The house currently has one bathroom and all the hot water distribution throughout the house is via 1/2" lines all the way back to the water heater. As part of the remodel I have to replumb all the branch connections to the old bath as well as install all of the new stuff. Does it make sense to run a new 3/4" hot distribution line and only reduce to 1/2" at each fixture? The water heater now has reducing elbows that I could switch out.
I'm mostly interested in doing something to maintain good water pressure with multiple fixtures in use. It will only be a moderate amount of additional work to increase the line size. Wondering if you all think this would make any real difference...
Thanks
