plumbing question ??
Posted: Thu Feb 22, 2007 1:15 pm
Hello everyone have been lurking but now have a question. I have gutted the inside of our 2 bdrm 1 1/2 bath 1973 14 x 70 trailer. We are converting it into one bedroom one large master bath. Have moved the kitchen from the middle of the trailer to the east end of trailer. We are completely replumbing and rewiring it. New windows and doors. We live in the Texas panhandle.
The trailer is level accept for one part will get to that in the next post. I am going back with coppper pipes. Drains pvc. I do no want to open the bottom of this trailer it has been sealed with some sort of spray on foam insulation.So I will be going below joist with the drains and piping. My water line coming in from the well house is 3/4 or galvanized pipe. The question is when it comes up under the house it is 3/4 galv pipe and then they tied on to it with 1/2 copper and ran 14' to the other side of trailer to HWH and then back to 3/4 galv to the hot water heater and then thru out the trailer at 3/4 galv. Is that right?? Any way I think I will tie onto the 3/4 galv where it comes up under with the house and then go 3/4 copper to HWH and then go 1/2" copper up to sinks and tubs. Does this make more sense.
Thanks in advance.
