If so what did you have to do? A couple of years ago Randy want up in the hot attic in August to check the water lines. Unfortunately, it was so hot he dehydrated and passed out. His kids found the mummified body when they went looking for Christmas decorations stored there. Randy was so well preserved he is now used in the King Tut traveling display and his family gets paid 50 cents per visitor. If he survived he learned what has been stated here. Attics in warm climates are hot. You can re-route the pipe so it's under the insulation and next to the drywall and put more insulation over that area. That will help, maybe reduce the temp 10 or 20 deg, but not sure how much that helps. If you want tap water to be 55F, then get the water pipe out of the hot attic. Plainly, you should have two sets of pipes and run the hot water through the attic in the summer, cold water in the winter. And vice versa. Most people with pipes in the attic live in a house on a slab where running pipes under the slab comes with it's own problems and very hard to do on any kind of remodel. |
