Question on running new lines
« on: September 03, 2014, 09:24:33 PM »
I am going to b running 80' of 1" theropex to my house.  The question I have is: am I going to have a problem reducing down to 3/4" just outside of my foundation?  Everything is already set up for 3/4", if it not to big of problem I don't really want to knock a hole in my foundation again.  Imput would be greatly appreciated!

I say make a hole and run the thermopex thru the foundation. It sucks to have to do it, but it's the right way.

 I would also suggest taking the new line through the wall. Keeps water from entering your insulation and makes monitoring for leaks much easier.

Definitely get the entire pipe inside the foundation or don't waste your money on good pipe!

Think he's asking for help.

What kind of beer is supplied?

Nah, quantity never makes up for lack of quality.
