New Home Construction - the do's and don'ts thread

[Glenn]

The system is the Vangard Manabloc system. (They have sold to a company called something like Viega now. But search for Manabloc and you will find it. It is also available through my local Lowes now, but I bought it online from Mountain View Plumbing. Awesome company.)

Anyway, the valves with the red discs are all hot and the blue are the cold. The lines at the top are out to the water heater (right) and back in from the water heater (left.) The big line on the bottom is the feed from my well. (It was not actually connected in that photo.)

The red key is exactly that. You can turn off each line individually right where the red and blue discs are on each line.

I also have a 6 port cold only manifold for the outside hose bibs. It is fed from the well through a separate line. This way when I get around to adding a water softener, I will not water the lawn with soft water. You can see it in the very bottom right of this photo:



If you would like to see the manifold HUGE and closeup:

I like the attention to detail that you went to the trouble to paint the surrounding wood behind/around the manifold since that will be seen through your access panel.

It's the little things...
