First try - this orientation allows water to stand in the pipes/valves which could freeze and dampen my lifestyle.
Second try - I was told it looked like Rube Goldberg Engineering. :-( Bah.
Third try - simple and svelt. Does exactly the same thing as before but cleaner interface and implementation. but then, Fast Fred stopped development in its tracks when, in his own special way, pointed out the obvious. (except to me!) That water spout was a prime candidate for freezing, pointing down like that. duh. Thanks, Fast Fred!
...and RC4. (Release Candidate Four, in software development terms) Notice the up-to-date modular architectural features, such as componentized plug-ins, flexible input and output configurations, and most importantly, the centrally located master control center User Interface. ;) (with a poke in the ribs to JnTG)
And here it is installed! The eye-hurting orange caps are just to keep the dust out, before other things are hooked up. (And to help me BE SURE to leave the valves adjancent to them CLOSED! Yikes!)
How do you like my signography? This is red tape on the wall to remind me to *not forget* to slope all pipes 1/2" per linear foot.
And here's the finished galley drain, going a l l the way (about 20') into the grey holding tank on the right in bay 3. The other tank will be the freshwater later on.
The 10' or so of the piping in the living area. See the 'slope' icon on the wall? Clearly, the pipe suspension hasn't been done in this photo, because it looks like string cheeese! ;)
