This is for the engineers, or anybody who knows plumbing...
We are having our bathroom remodeled... we are going 'all out' (well, we did give up the steam unit ).... we will have 4 massage sprays, a normal out of the wall shower head and a rain shower head for DW...
Now, I knew that the 1/2 inch pipe would be useless if we ran all of these at once... so we are paying extra to run 3/4 lines to this shower...
They are putting together a 'jig' for the 4 massage heads using all 1/2 inch pipe... the contractor said it should be fine since the 3/4 is hooked up to these close to where they spray..
So my question... is this true? Will all 4 be able to go at full pressure? IIRC they are rated at 2.5 gals per minute... Or, do I need them to use 3/4 pipe and then convert to 1/2 at each nozzle?
