I want the guy laying these pipes lay a pipe for me.

90deg angles are not great ... also, 1 trunk to 6? How is that supposed to work when 2+ people are pulling water.

How come you didn’t use a manifold? It’s beautiful

I wondered the same thing…this honestly looks like a huge waste of fittings

One of them French shops, I see
AZRAELSBLADE
“There are 3 kinds of pipe. There’s what you have, which is garbage. There’s brass, which is fine, unless there’s a problem- THERE’S…
AZRAELSBLADE
“…ALWAYS A PROBLEM. And then… there’s copper. Which is the only pipe I use. It costs money. It costs money because it saves money!”
StillNotYouTube
Yeah, for something that is going to be behind a wall and inaccessible for the life of the building, I'll take copper.
zFUBARz
This isn't behind a wall though.
StillNotYouTube
It probably does at some point though. It looks like they are using some kind of conduit, which would help, but that is not typical.
baliverne
This is how you know this person has self respect.
Exoticz
I love that there are valves for each water line to empty it easily and individually, and also that there's an extra pipe each just in case!
JacquestheMonkey
See this is nice, but if i lay my pipes like this and my duplicants see it they get the big sad.
lightupman
This looks nice, but as a former new construction plumber, this will fuck with both your water pressure and the time to get hot water.
eidolways
What're your thoughts on Gary Klein's suggestion to use trunk-and-branch with a 3/4" recirculated loop with 1/2" line to individual faucets?
lightupman
As far as my experience goes, that's the only way to do it/what I was taught. Gives good pressure to each appliance when it's ran like that.

Support used is very impressive. If that issue was there in copper pipe, yeah it's rough, but you have to consider the medium of this art.
AlphaIndustrial
What pissesme off. Is this could of been done alot cleaner than this rampant misuse of fittings. Could of been less fittings/compact layout
PimpinKen
No no no, the pipes are being driven up a wall. It's just driving you and I nuts
hodge4395
The inconstant placing of the black support brackets bothers me more.
hodge4395
And they used 4 whites ones….
zFUBARz
driving it up the wall too
ThatShiftyMonkey
The right-most white pipe has its valve open. When they turn the water on, it's gonna drive water up the wall.
flamingflamingo
Quite a few are crooked, including some blue and the large pipe in the upper right.
TurtleBrawler
Why is some tubing secured more than others? I would think the hot line would need the most. It would be the most flexible/affected by heat?

Just like the pipe.

That's why the valve is closed on that one. Safety hazard.

Seems a bit excessive for recirc
skipweasel
I thought so - more common is to run a larger flow and return round the building and tap into them nearby.

Also they are all bundled into the same lagged wavin pipe straight away, its weird

icsilvernail211
Doesn’t expansion pex have minimum length requirements? Many of those are way too short and will leak.
ricbri695
If this is a SFH it’s massively wasteful having recirculation loops at every faucet. Kinda negates the energy savings of the tankless 1/2
ricbri695
Just to have instant hot water anywhere in the house 2/2
SirButcher
Okay, but imagine the horrors of waiting for hot water for SEVERAL SECONDS!
redsmerf
....It takes about 2 minutes in my bathroom to clear the cooled water from the pipes and get hot water in.
JacktheKind
true, The don't have the heat loss of the tank, but instead distributed it over all the pipe surface... which seems worse
RatsLiveOnNoEvilStar
Wouldn't it be the same heat loss over the pipe surface if it was a tank system? Water still hast to get there, or are you refering to just
RatsLiveOnNoEvilStar
the white line, in which case, whatever heat it still has above the initial intake will still save on keeping the red line to temp right?
mbonnColorHero
Cold water, hot water and return of hot water (the white) with pump so you dont wait to get hot water.

Hey everyone - he is right. I really thought they were cable conduits. I was wrong. They are water pipes.

Buncha desk jockeys downvoting you when you're right
xeonan
Conduit - a channel for conveying water or other fluid; a tube or trough for protecting electric wiring.
cybored
Wait tho! I made a mistake!
ChloeRed
Also, the conduits go into conduits at the top of the image?
baelaron
While you are technically correct, neither the manufacturer or the installer would identify them as such. Those are pipes. A2da?
xeonan
As a Journeyman electrician I understand the distinction between the 2. I just looked it up to be a smartass.
SeeYaLaterMethamphetaGator
you don't think a plumber would call pipe that you run other pipe through a conduit? thats exactly what you would refer to it as in basework
UnoriginalPieceOfRepeatingShit
As a plumber I know my piping can be defined as conduit but I've never referred to it as such. That's an electricians word
Lun4ticH1gh
Journeyman plumber here. We 100% do not call any of our piping conduit. We use tube, tubing, or pipe. Any pipe

Water return (recirculating). This is prob a heated garage floor or heated driveway
FinancialRavioli
This is domestic hot water heater, not a service water boiler.
mike13815
Given the three runs, it's likely DHW with a recirculation feature. Pretty common nowadays.
FeChefImgur
You heat driveways ??
Neiler
Some fancy driveways are heated to melt snow and ice so you don’t have to shovel
RickRollable
Yeah who gives a fuck about the environment/s
InappropriateObservation
I'm assuming it'd be good for a sloped driveway, you wouldn't want ice forming on it and making a slip n slide for your car..

Is there a separate tempered water system in this building? What's the white for?

Hot water return line for recirculating instant hot water?

UseTheSource
Judging by the expansion vat and the width of the pipes, I'd say red is radiator, blue radiator return, white is hot drinking water?
UseTheSource
sorry if I get the terminology wrong, I've never had a boiler myself and English is not my native tongue.
zFUBARz
Not too many places separate drinking and not drinking water in North America anymore.
FinancialRavioli
This is all drinking water. Blue is cold, Red is hot, White is hot water recirculation.
AKBenjo
In floor heating maybe? Just a wild guess, idk
SlammedCarsAreRuinedCars
Finally someone got it right
Pickanamebutwhy
Yes actually, you are correct. Those are typically the lines used for radiant heat systems. It allowed individual rooms to have its own temp
RikVanSteenbergenFanAccount
As others mentioned above its more likely a recirculating line for potable hw. It's a very bad idea to mix hw for heating w/ potable water.
RikVanSteenbergenFanAccount
In most places code explicitly sates that you need to have separate heaters for hydronic heating and potable hw.
Mazzy94
A return line from the hots.wastes energy but means rich people don't need to wait long for hot water
Filanwizard
some installations ive heard of people doing in homes they have a switch so its not always pumping.
Filanwizard
so like they turn it on while dropping a deuce, and when they are ready to shower the water is warm.
baelaron
It depends on scale, in a big enough building the pipes would be insulted and there'd actually be less heat loss than a
baelaron
Typical non circulating system
Mazzy94
Ah interesting. I've only dobe single-family dwellings
DanoSpanjer
Those would be recirc lines for instantaneous hot water. Where the hot lines end, the white runs back to the water heater
kickarr
Holy shit. That is cool AF!
Nightcaste
Just adding a little clarity here. In some installations, the hot water is kept flowing in a loop. Reduces the "wait to warm up" time.
nobodyrelevant
Another thing are bacteria. Long standing lukewarm water is a good breeding ground for bacterias, legionella die at +60C°
ExplosionFish
And you heat your towels!
Nightcaste
I suppose baseboard heaters could make a comeback, since this is basically how those worked to
baelaron
Ah, I was thrown off by the color and size. I'm used to commercial setups where this kind of manifold system is replaced by mains and
Smoretank
Oh! That makes sense. Is it more common in tankless water heaters?
Guttfunk
It just depends on the distance from the heat source to the tap. Here in Sweden it's needed for all distances above 10m
Churchofthesubgenius
In my US state it’s for commercial and multi housing with shared water heating (what I think the pic is). It’s a rather recent requirement
Nightcaste
I don't know if it's a tankless thing or if tankless heaters and recirculation loops just came around at the same time.
Nightcaste
I'm not like a water heater pro, just learned a little from researching a tankless heater for replacing the dinosaur in my utility room
pixelsnader
That... sounds like a lot of heat dissipation in the pipes... is it for some specific industrial use?
withfrigginlasers
It's also useful for areas where it's cold AF and they want to avoid freezing pipes.
Churchofthesubgenius
It’s to reduce water waste when people run the water til it is hot. Required for new commercial and multi unit housing in my county
pixelsnader
Wouldn't grey water recycling be much more efficient for that?
Nightcaste
This particular photo looks like a commercial or industrial installation. You don't really need this many lines for a single family home
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Nah, it's just that people don't like to wait for hot water.
