Is there any reason (beside cost) NOT to upsize a water supply pipe after it has a choke point?
I have 3/4" copper pipe from the service for a approx. 25' run to a 1-bed house (1bath,kitchen, washer). I need to run from there 60' to 2 more 1-bed houses and was going to upsize to 1" for that 60 feet. Is there any negative effect in doing this besides cost? I have figured the water supply fixture units and know it will be lacking, even at 1", but would like to be prepared for replacing the first 25 feet of 3/4" somewhere in the future.
Thanks!
