Home Run

Fixture outlets are serviced from a central distribution

point(s) similar to an electrical panel or breaker box.

These manifolds are often referred to as primary

manifolds and when used in this manner, can isolate a

xture for repair or service, and can assure proper ow

characteristics at the xture by providing an individual

supply line. Primary manifolds for home run plumbing

typically incorporate valves for proper line segregation

and service.

Standard / Trunk & Branch

A network of supply tube and ttings service xtures

and are put together like conventional copper or CPVC

systems. For every change in direction within the

system, an elbow or tee is used (directionals). There is

typically more volume of water within a system of this

nature and stagnant water must be purged before hot

water is realized.

Combination

Fixture outlets are serviced from a manifold with a

line being directly plumbed from a primary manifold

or a secondary manifold. Secondary manifolds are

either with valve or without valve and can be installed

in-line. Manifolds with valves typically require access,

so manifolds without valves are more often used as

secondary manifolds and can be hidden in walls. Often,

the manifold is marked with the xture it supplies

and a plumbing layout schematic marks the manifold

location as well as the xture it provides. Sioux Chief

recommends this plumbing system approach.
