Jim,


If only running one at a time 1/2 should do fine might be a bit small
for 2 at a time.


Which may be the problem. Suppose Greg does this and then sells the
house. Will the new owner know that he can only run one bib at a time. He
should do the job right.

If it's simply a way to avoid attaching a hose wye connector, I don't see
where it would be a problem.


Most wye's have less flow rate than2 hose bibs running together if
you have ever run 2 taps at once while that is sorta the flow rate,
Also the right way would be to have 3/4 mains in the house branching
to 1/2 but if all he starts with is 1/2 inch then thats it least he
wants to replumb the house as 1/2 to 3/4 cuts pressure
