Abstract (en)

An integrated water distribution network supplies the requirements of both domestic and fire sprinkler water fixtures in a dwelling structure. The network includes a plurality of multiport fittings which are interconnected together with flexible conduits. A conventional fire sprinkler is also coupled to the multiport fittings. The network is supplied water by a plurality of water supply lines which originate at a manifold. Individual water fixtures are connected to the distribution system through flexible lines. During use of a water fixture, water flow through essentially the entire system is established. The distribution system can thus be characterized as a "nonstagnant" water network. <IMAGE>
