I bought an old house which needs to have the water supplies replumbed *(It
has the old style butyl pipe, and I am
refinishing the basement)


I intend to run 3/4" Pex from the entrance (about half way down the 40 ft
length of the house)
in about 15 feet to where most of the fixtures are located,
then right angle turn and run about 16 feet drilling thru the 2x10 joists,
*then * right angle *and run about 6 feet to the hot water tank.
Then run the 3/4 hot water pipe back parallel to the just run cold water.
