hose bibs
 

I'm running copper pipe for 2 hose bibs. What do you think about
running a 12" line and splitting it to each bib. Seeing as both bibs
will probably not be run at the same time, is this ok? Does code allow
this, or do I have to run 3/4 pipe to the T, then 1/2 line? Thanks,
Greg

I think a 12" line would handle about anything 6" or less.

Make that 1/2" line, not a 12" line in my original post. Thanks SteveB
Mr. PB!

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

A 12" line seems a bit over kill for residential.

once you wont have much flow... if that doesnt matter,go for it.lucas

Jim,

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
