We are going to be moving the water heater, furnace and laundry from the garage to a new utility space and new laundry room. I did some searching around and I was inspired by this thread to design a hot/cold fresh water system for our house (.pdf attached). This system will feature supply manifolds for primary distribution and service manifolds for local distribution.
The supply manifolds are all specified to be 1-1/4" header with 1" inlet, 1" passthrough and 3/4" outlets. The only exception to this general construct will be the cold water supply manifold in the utility room. It will also have a 1" outlet for the hot water heater. The service manifolds are all specified to be 1" header with 3/4" inlet and 1/2" outlets. The only exception to this general construct will be the hot water service manifolds that will have recirculation will be outfitted with a 3/4" outlet. The recirculation manifold are specified to be 3/4" inlets and a 1" outlet.
Like other posters to this forum, I'd like feedback on the pros and cons, plusses and minuses, genius and lunacy of this proposal. All input, except for ad hominem attacks are valid and valuable.
