Potable Water Line Sizing
Was looking to evaluate if my potable water lines need to be resized and needed a chart similar to the following, but for Water Lines.
Natural Gas Generator Pipe Size Chart
I found the link above to be useful for gas lines, and was wondering anyone knows of one that can be used for Pex Piping?

When I took my test years ago water sizing was a separate 100 questions, this is not something that's easy for the novice.:NO NO NO:

My potable water system has a 3/4" line, from the street, to my meter. My meter is 5/8" and then it connects to a 3/4" line. The 3/4" line then feeds 2 manifolds and a Instant Hot Water Heater. The manifolds supply each fixture with 1/2" lines. There is a 3/4" line that leaves the Rinnai and, it too, feeds 2 manifolds. These manifolds also supply each fixture with 1/2" lines. All of these lines are pex tubing.
I was asking the question becasue I am going to be finishing my basement and was wondering if I should change the 3/4" lines to a bigger size, now that the basement is all open?
Thank You
