I am almost completely gutting and remodeling my house, only thing staying is the kitchen, it's not that bad and budget issues. Anyway, I'm going to replace all of the plumbing while it's gutted, and I wanted to know what size and type of copper pipe I should be using. The pipes will be running in a 3-4' crawl space, and right now I have a deep well, with a tank in the crawl space, but I should be getting city water by next summer.
My dad, who has much more experience than me, but still not a pro, says to run 3/4" from the tank to hot water heater, and tee off of the 3/4" lines using more 3/4" to go underneath the bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, and then tee off of that with 1/2" to go to the showers, sinks, toilets, etc. Is this correct, or what should I use? Also, he has no idea about type L or M, and from a little research, K and a couple others. Anyway please help, because I want to get my water ran asap, so I can get one of my baths put in to use during remodeling.
Thanks in advance for all your help!!!
