Hello, all. Great forum, lots of knowledge around here.
I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer for me.
I would like to increase the volume of hot water to the master bedroom. While under my house the other day, I noticed that the master bedroom HW is fed from a 34 foot long run of 1/2" copper that Tees off of a 3/4" HW line. It seems to me the 34 foot run of 1/2" is too small. I'm considering replacing it with 3/4".
The cold water line is 3/4" the entire run.
Just curious if there will be any issues with doing this and if I should abandoned the existing 1/2" or leave active (thus having the Master fed with a 1/2" and 3/4"). I'm planning to tie the new line in right before the bathroom fixtures witch are all fed with 1/2" (2 sinks, shower, tub, wc).
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.
I probably should add that I'm installing a tankless hw heater at approx 40 ft from the Master Bath fixtures. Current hw tank (that will be abandoned) exist 90 feet from Master Bath (lengths stated are pipe length).
