  16. Controlling Hot • Pressure Balanced Fittings/ Temperature Limiting

  17. Controlling Hot • Thermostatic Fittings

  28. Manifold Distribution System

  29. Floor Joist Modifications Notching Floor Joists, Rafters & Beams • Depth of notch not to exceed 1/6 depth of member • Width of notch not to exceed 1/3 depth of member • Notches not permitted in the center third of member • Notches at end not to exceed ¼ depth of member

  30. Supply • If supplying water to 1-2 fixtures, use ½” water lines (A ¾” tub filler could be and exception.) • When supplying water to three or more fixtures or appliances use ¾” water line.

  31. Plumbing Codes • Shield Plates are required for all but cast iron pipe within 1 ½” from the nearest edge of the framing member. • Plates must be 1/16” thick and extend 2” above the sole plate and below the top plate. • Pipes passing through footings or concrete walls must be protected by a pipe sleeve.

  32. Plumbing Codes • Water drain and sewer pipes must be protected from freezing. At least 12” deep and at least 6” below the frost line. (Depends on county) • Testing of piping systems

  33. Supply System Stop 1/2” 3/8” ¾” ½”

  34. Bath Design Considerations • Try to hide the stops when planning pedestal lavs.

  35. Bath Design Considerations • Consider the finish when designing wall-hung or console lavatories
