Lines that supply water to the fixtures run above grade through stud walls.
How to run water feed through attic.
Because there are.
A 200a meter main box might look a little cleaner if any are approved with your power company.
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.
Maybe the proper fix for the under the slab routing of the water lines was to install 4 diameter pvc piping under through the slab that has all gradual turn corners.
My plan is to run pex thru the attic below the insulation.
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.
This could be located at the location of the new service drop as ray suggested.
Locate this connection preferably from a vertical water supply pipe then map the shortest path from the supply line to the rear of the refrigerator or where you plan to place the refrigerator.
Running pex in an attic.
Btw my existing pb pipe is under the slab.
When the pex is run throug the attic does it matter if it is run along the floor or if it is run about 4 feet above the floor along the verticle truss supports.
When running pipes from a slab to an attic use an inside wall.
Through this can be pulled the pex water lines.
Once the builder constructs the rough frame of the house the plumber installs the water supply lines.
If ever a leak you can pull new lines through the pvc without digging up slab once again.
Need to get a hot water line from one end of the house to the other in a ranch with a concrete slab.
Then you can run a subpanel feeder through the attic to your existing main panel.
If needed plan for the water line to run through cabinets above storage and behind drawers to prevent damage to the line.

Which ever way i go i know there will be alot of lines running parallel through the attic.
If no boards or beams run horizontally between the wall studs the pipes can often be fed through the walls up to the attic.
