I am new to the forum, but could not find any thread on this: after installing my new kitchen sink & remodeling, i have the water supply lines (hot&cold) coming vertically from the concrete floor to a height of 24", then a 90 degree with a 4" branch, and finally the shutoff valves. I am worried if this vertical standoff of 24" is too long for my 1/2" copper lines and they might break with time due to the constant opening and closing of the faucet they supply. Is this okay? If not, any suggestions? Do i need to support the copper pipes close to the valves somehow? Thank you.
