Any problem with my plumbing?

I was thinking of running 3/4" pipe from the meter to the top left corner of the page. Then 3/4" from there back to the water heater (oposite side, back of the house) picking up most of the cold fixtures along the way. Then 3/4" back from the water heater to the hot side of each of the fixtures. I would use 1/2" on everything that comes off of the 3/4". Note that there is a bathroom on the 2nd floor directly over the bathroom on the 1st floor. I was thinking of running the 3/4" pipes in the joists between floors 1 and 2.


All the diagrams I have seen always in books have the water main comming into the house from the street and immediately branching into to the wather heater, I'm not doing that, but there is no reason for that is there?

Any see any problems or was to improve it?

It should work fine. I'd put a main shut off valve inside the house in an easy to reach spot. Water to toilet is drawn on the wrong side. Keep runs as short as possible and limit offsets for best pressure.
