Running Water Lines Through Attic

Hi older home on slab.

Running water lines through attic.

Can i run my 1 4 copper tubing thru attic down wall to box i will install behind fridge. Be sure to leave extra pipe on both ends of the run. While homeowners may fret over running plumbing lines through the ceiling it is a common practice used to minimize damage during the re plumb and to keep labor costs lower. This system uses more tubing but is fast and only requires two connections.

All lines are coming from under the slab in each part of the home where water is needed. For a variety of reasons from pipe damage under a slab to home design constraints water pipes may need to be run or rerouted through a home s attic. Water line would run over the top of the 2x4 bottom truss cord and i would create a tent over pipe so there was no. Do your best to separate the hot and cold lines to minimize heat transfer.

I will solder no saddle for me or should i u. Existing ranch has very low ceilings 7 8 so dropping any ceilings will not work. One at the manifold and another at the fixture end. No interior walls to use either.

Use foam insulation that comes in sleeves and fits around the pipe. Because there are. I now have a water leak that could be further under the slab and not reachable. With the home run system you install a manifold in the utility room or some area that s close to the main water line and water heater and run a separate pex tube to each fixture as shown above.

Running pex in an attic. Secure the line to the joists using clamps image 2. It will be about a 40 run up from where main lines are to the back wall of fridge. 30 year or more home built on a slab and water lines are being damaged and lines are breaking.

Need to get a hot water line from one end of the house to the other in a ranch with a concrete slab. I recently repaired a pipe at the back wall of my home where as l had to dig under the slab and it was reachable. Getting new fridge with ice maker. My plan is to run pex thru the attic below the insulation.
