Healthcare Plumbing And Piping:<br>Manifold Systems And Scald Protection
Resident safety is one reason this assisted-living facility has a manifold system.
The residents of The Logan House, a new assisted-living facility in Logan, Utah, may not know a lot about plumbing, but many do remember what it feels like to be scalded in the shower if someone else should flush a nearby toilet or start a load of wash. And they know it’s not likely to happen to them at their new apartments.
That’s because Richard Miles, one of The Logan House’s developers, bucked what some consider plumbing convention by installing a manifold plumbing system — rather than a traditional two-pipe copper system — in the development’s 92 units.
