Is there any benefit to upsizing to 3 / 4 ” pipe off a 1 / 2 ” feed?
In a standard house you don’t have enough piping (or demand) to make a difference. Running 3/4″ piping from the 1/2″ feed will slightly decrease the pressure loss, meaning you’ll get more pressure at your fixtures, but the difference will probably be very small.
