Laundry Supply lines

Author: Conklin (TX)

I am installing a sink next to the washer and dryer and planned to remove the hot and cold bibs to the washer, t off of them for new bibs and continue the water lines thru the outlet box and elbow over to the sink. I have exposed the wall in order to do new siding and have already installed the sink drain and vent. I am trying to find any information on whether this modification to the laundry supply lines will be to code but have had no luck in my search. Is this a viable plan? Thanks for any assistance.

Re: Laundry Supply lines
Author: PlumberLoren (CA) You have doubled the fixture unit value coming thru the 1/2". Is it to code? Maybe. But will it work? Yes providing you have good water pressure. Questions like this can get technical because you are dealing with pressure, pipe size, pipe layout, etc.
