Long plumbing run - pull out copper for pex replacement?
While I have my office wall open I have access to the adjacent wall with my plumbing in it. I was thinking about possibly pulling the copper lines out and replacing them with PEX. The reasoning behind it is that I believe that it is a 3/4" copper line running upstairs to my bathroom. It is a full bath with shower stall, sink and toilet. However, 3/4" is overkill for that and it takes a while to get warm water up there. If I were to replace it I was going to think about downsizing the plumbing run. So, I would have a double benefit of the more insulated PEX tubing and smaller diameter to get hot water there faster.
What do you guys think?
