all the water lines inside my home are 1/2 inch, although the outdoor
supply is 3/4

we have a single copper 1/2 inch line servicing the bathroom. it
supplies the toilet sink and finally the shower

if someone flushes the toilet while someone is in the shower they get
burned.

the cold water pressure and flow drops nearly all goes to the toilet.

my fix is add a hot and cold PEX lines just for the shower from the
hot water tank area.

i think this would decrease the problem a lot.

my neighbor thinks it wouldnt help. he will be helping snake the line
and feels the pex is a waste of time.

opinions please.............

From my DIY corner I believe it would help. You segment the shower
back to a larger pipe and it has no bearing on the sink or toilet;
during use. Those remain on the single supply you have.

If you do this, rent the crimper for a one time job. About $25. a day
(plus cost deposit). Have all the connectors ready on site.
