This system uses a 12 or 24 volt dc valve manifold located near the water heater to mix and distribute the pre-selected temperature water to the correct faucet in the house. Their is only one 3/8 or 1/2 inch line that goes directly to the spout of the selected faucet. Their are no conventional common supply lines. This is designed so that only a small amount of warm water is left laying in the line when the faucet is shut off. It also eliminates the need to move hot water from the water heater threw a 3/4 inch or larger common supply line then to the faucet wasting most times over 2 quarts or more of hot water. The single line going to the spout from the control manifold was soft copper or Quest pipe. The selecter switch at the faucet location was either push buttons or a touch pad on the newer systems. It communicated with the manifold using 4 conductor wire with rj-11 plugs (phone cord plugs) on each end. The push button panel could be replaced with another ultraflow panel or with a little low voltage electrical knowledge, could be replaced with a variety of different switch setups. |
