wormdunker Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 No John, not as we type. It's 1/2" pex. But after viewing the info from others I'm going downstairs to check the size of those Pex 90 degree fittings & Ts. As Jigger stated they're about 1/4" ID. That's a sizable water flow loss! Copper is 1/2" ID. Going to have a closer look if I ever get off this laptop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Ok so I did some measuring today of the copper & pex fittings I have on hand. 1/2" copper is real close to 9/16" ID, Pex 90 degree elbow is only 5/16' ID, the braided steel supply line is only about 1/4'. I wasn't able to measure the braided line because it gets smaller inside the line. A real eye opener! Thanx for all your help. I've decided to leave everything in place as it is now - which is 1/2" Pex. As I proceed with this renovation, I'm going to connect the shower, toilet & sink in the new bathroom & give it all an actual water test before covering this area with drywall. Thanx guys!
