I'd say that one Cold water valve cannot sustain proper pressure to both appliances simultaneously, but probably one at a time.
I dunno im not a plumber but that seems likely.

by use of a y splitter | what do you mean run a dishwasher and a laundry off a cold water valve??
you mean you want 2 fixtures to share the same SHUT OFF VALVE?
By the Code, each fixtures need their own shut off valve.
and Dishwashers don't need cold water, only hot water, unless you wanna wash and de-sanitize your dishes with cold water.
what kind of pipe you dealing with? Plastic or copper?
easier to just cut and Tee off the cold and put a shut off to each appliance.

If you're already going to T it off, why not just do it right and add a second shut-off?
You're already going to have all the supplies out. What's another $5-10 and 15 minutes?

you're thread title is very misleading...
It should read, "Any Plumbers here? I need help."
instead, it sounds like you are offering to help plumbers.

its very crucial to size your water pipes properly
If too small, you increase the velocity within the pipes, therefore put more wear and tear within your pipes, and also wears out your faucets.
If the pipes are sized too big, you loose velocity and you loose pressure to your faucets and all the fixtures.
for a typical bathroom group, a sink, tub and toilet, you WILL NEED at least a 3/4" cold line to provide flow to the fixtures properly
so depending on how many bathroom your house has, your COLD line could get up to as big as 2", BUT at least a MINIMUM OF 3/4"
I could get into more, but i doubt anyone is interested on here

Looks like EmOne is the RS resident plumber --- hey revscene, we should give these people special titles, so if we have specific questions we can ask them.
