Plumbing - Pipe size question
Here's a general plumbing question for the group:
I have a home built circa 1920 and the water main was recently upgraded to a 3/4" copper pipe. Yet all the copper inside the house is 1/2". I am going to be redoing my kitchen and bathrooms, and am considering replacing all the 1/2" pipe with 3/4". Is this upgrade worth doing? The challenge is that the water pressure coming in off the street is fairly low, and I am concerned that adding a larger pipe will only decrease the water pressure that much more. Thoughts? |
