    New Shower Install
    I am installing a new Shower in a two piece bathroom. Can I tap into the existing Hot and Cold from the sink or will this rob me of the pressure I will need. I am running at 60 psi off a well pump. The bathroom is 25 feet away from the pump.

    If you're talking about tapping into the 1/4 inch chrome supplies then you won't have all that much volume to play with. Please explain what you are taking off from. Regards, Tom

    No problem, 1/2" supplies for the shower are acceptable. Good luck, Tom
