    Supply lines
    Just a question regarding supply lines. I'm pretty sure I'm going with CPVC for the supply side. Planned on making a 3/4" or 1" manifold then branching off that with 3/4" for the main lines with 1/2" for all my fixtures. I have to supply 2 full baths, 1 kitchen and to outside spickets. Can I run all those off 1 main 3/4" line or can I have only a certain number of 1/2" lines off a 3/4"... THanks.

    You may take all your 1/2" branches off the 3/4"main. Do not install more then three fixtures on a 1/2" branch and supply the hose bibs with 3/4". Good luck, Tom

    I assume hose bibs=outside spickets? And if so those 3/4" lines can come off the same main 3/4" line? Anything good/bad to say about CPVC?

    The hose bibs can come direct off the main. CPVC is more "user friendly" then copper and will outlast it so if you plan on doing your own work that's the way I would go. Good luck, Tom
