Is drawing this easier or harder than actually installing it?<\/p><\/div>\n

This week my primary goal is to get our water working again. \u00a0Currently we have removed all plumbing back to the main valve on the wall so we have a blank canvas with which to work. \u00a0I’m packaging all the mechanical items in one compact 13″ deep corner between our front wall and a chimney. \u00a0This tiny space will contain our gas meter, water heater (acting as both a boiler and a water heater), pumps, distribution manifolds, and all the associated plumbing.<\/p>\n

In the Sketchup image above you can see our Noritz tankless water heater (white) at the top with its 3″ PVC intake and exhaust pipes and 3\/4″ gas line (yellow). \u00a0On the right, our three zone supply (top) and return (bottom) manifolds. \u00a0These will have 3\/4″ PEX running to smaller manifolds (very top) on under each floor which will make 2x 3\/8″ PEX circuits through the floors. \u00a0If you were wondering: missing from this sketch are all the valves, water pumps and PEX tubing. \u00a0One day.<\/p>\n

After the planning, the next step, and my job for the night, is to get the 3\/4″ pressure treated plywood mounted to struts hung from the joists. \u00a0This is the same technique we used for the electrical panels<\/a> last weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
