I would say going to 1/2" PEX at that point for lavatory and toilet would be right (nothing larger needed). What size pipe does your shower valve take? Normally AFIK there is not a separate cut off valve for the shower. Some shower arrangements require high flow and so a 3/4" cold line all the way to the shower valve might be future proofing even if you don't need it now. Personally I use a low flow head and consider a rain head and side jets an outrage, but some want that. | |
