Claims20
A hot water storage system comprising:
- at least one oversized diameter tube coupled to and in fluid communication with a building hot water source;
- and
- at least one plumbing line diameter tube coupled to and in fluid communication with at least the at least one oversized diameter tube.
A stratified hot water storage system integrated into a building interstitial space, the hot water storage system comprising:
- an oversized diameter tube having a first diameter;
- a first plumbing line diameter tube coupled to and in fluid communication with the oversized diameter tube and a building hot water source, the first plumbing line diameter tube having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter;
- and
- a second plumbing line diameter tube coupled to and in fluid communication with the oversized diameter tube and a water supply device, the second plumbing line diameter tube having a third diameter smaller than the first diameter.
