Nemo,
The temperature is something that I've thought about too. My plan was to first see if there is enough pressure to actually run the line.

Secondly to deal with the temperatures effecting the water line. The obvious thing is to insulate the line. But I'll talk to a plumber about what I can do prevent line freezing. There are options available to attach to the line to prevent freezing.

Is there enough pressure to push it another 4' up into the ceiling and another 18' feet horizontally to the closet?
2 problems that I see running it through the attic IMO

1. In summer attics get very hot unless vented well, small lines with water sitting will allow the water to heat up.

2. In winter you run the chance (very good one at that) of freezing and splitting the line.
