There are so many reasons why vinyl (PVC) makes for superior doors and windows, not the least of which are environmental. From beginning to end, PVC has one of the smallest carbon footprints of all comparable building materials. Vinyl is one of the world's most versatile plastics and is used to make everything from medical devices to flooring.
The concept of structured plumbing is the redistribution of heated water with the manifolds set in group fixtures. The hot water line requires open-ended manifolds so that the heated water return line creates an extension to the heated water supply. Because water is redistributed, this scheme reduces energy and water usage, making it ideal for homeowners who prefer cost-effective, energy-efficient plumbing scheme.Remote Manifold SchemeThis scheme uses hot and cold-water pex manifold to deliver water all over your house. For this system, the main water lines as well as the heater line are fed in the manifold while the smaller lines are connected from the pex manifold to the individual fittings. Generally, this set up requires the manifold to be installed in a central area in the home such as the basement or service closet. Manifold for the heated water is fitted no closer than 18 inches to the heater while the manifold for cold water is fixed beside the heated water manifold.Trunk and Branch SchemeVinyl is largely derived from salt via chlorine, an abundant and inexpensive resource. While some, such as Greenpeace, denounce chlorine, Dr. Moore, a founder of the group who later left in part due to his science-based understanding of the benefits of chlorine says, "Chlorine is the most important element in the periodic table for public health and medicine. It purifies our drinking water and contributes to many of our prescription medicines, thereby preventing the spread of disease."Structured Plumbing Scheme
