I will have a kitchen sink that will be between 10m and 16m (depending on kitchen layout) from the main pressure hot water tank.
Normally the hot water would be run in 22mm pipes, branching out into 15mm pipes going to each outlet. However I wish the water to be quickly at a useful temperature.
So using a 10mm pipe to reduce the volume of cold water that needs to be run off looks like a good option, however I wish to be able to fill a sink in a reasonable time for doing the washing up.
Has anyone get experience of using manifolds with 10mm pipes going to sinks and basins? (With 15mm pipes going to showers.)
Another option for the kitchen, is to fit an electric under sink water heater, so removing the cost of heating water in the pipe that is never used, but having to use more expansive electricity for the kitchen hot water.
