I'm installing a bunch of copper that serves current fixtures, but also runs to locations of planned fixtures.
Nearly every current fixture will disappear, and the abandoned stub that I'll cap will stay connected to the branch line continuing on to the future fixture location.
Under this scenario, is there any concern with stagnant water entering the branch? The abandoned lengths will be limited to a foot or two at most, and all connect vertically above the in-service branch. This is all bathroom and laundry service, for what it's worth.
