Water Lines In Attic For Hot Water Gain

Need to get a hot water line from one end of the house to the other in a ranch with a concrete slab.

Water lines in attic for hot water gain.

If the builder has already installed your water heater in the attic you can get it moved to another location in the house or into the garage. I now have a water leak that could be further under the slab and not reachable. All lines are coming from under the slab in each part of the home where water is needed. Yes insulating the pipe will help.

However insulation just slows down heat gain it doesn t cool anything. 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. 30 year or more home built on a slab and water lines are being damaged and lines are breaking. My plan is to run pex thru the attic below the insulation.

Existing ranch has very low ceilings 7 8 so dropping any ceilings will not work. Insulation will help maintain water temperature levels in the pipes. 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. Because there are many temperature.

Otherwise a cold water line run a long distance through a hot attic can take several minutes to deliver cold water to a. 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. No interior walls to use either.
