I've got some guys over today installing baseboards and they hit a cold water line with a nail. Weird thing is, this is the second group of water lines going upstairs. This wall has 2 cold and one hot line. They hit a cold line. The other group of pipes under the stairs has 2 cold and 2 hot. Near my water heater I've got the cold water line incoming from the street with a shutoff valve. House is on a slab and all of the hot and cold lines going upstairs are coming out of the slab. House was built mid 90s.
So I have 4 cold lines and 3 hot lines going upstairs, why so many? With 2 full baths upstairs is this normal? |

I don't think so. We've been in the house 7 years and unless they put it inside a wall, I think I would have found that by now. Quoted:

one cold line could go to a point of use water heater, sort of like a very small water heater. I don't think so. We've been in the house 7 years and unless they put it inside a wall, I think I would have found that by now. well we have no clue from your post what fixtures are "upstairs" |

Quoted: maybe they ran some futures  Quoted: Quoted: My guess is the plumbers were paid by the fitting.  maybe they ran some futures I've run into that before. Made installing one a breeze. I often try to think ahead and prewire or plumb when doing remodels. It doesn't cost much compared to doing it after. |
