Cold water feed improvement

Hermy

The photo is the cold water feed coming into the house which I want to move to the opposite wall to make way for some shelving.

The 3/4 Qualpex going into the t-piece is not inline so I want to fix that.

I'm wondering while I'm doing that can I improve on the way the T-junction is currently put together.

Is there something out there that would negate the need for so many joints?

Thanks

EDIT: Apologies for the picture - I'm not seeing an option to rotate it clockwise.

The reason that so many fittings are used is probably because there is no slack in the pipes, so pieces has to be put in. There are tees with female threads that would look neater, but not worth the trouble imho.

Fair comment from Wearb, but I think that you could tidy-up the pipes slightly by installing an elbow (90 degrees) at the base of where the incoming pipe meets the stones. That would probably allow you to push the piping into the wall better and secure it using clips.

But beware of limiting or removing access to that level - it's there for a reason!

Thanks for the replies.

I'll try and move it over without disturbing too much but there's plumbing on the other wall so I may need to alter things.

I hope to tackle it tomorrow so I'll let you know how I get on.

Well I had a go yesterday and it got the better of me - once I moved them there seemed to be no obvious way to route the pipes using the existing fittings.

So I got the father-in-law down (he's good with plumbing) to have a look and after much scratching of heads we figured something out.

By that stage it was getting late so I put it back the way it was and I'll have another go today.

I got that sorted in the end - thanks for the replies.
