The drawing set: our own jobs, sheet by sheet

These are photos from Apex jobs, taken on the job. They are laid out the way a plan set is: mechanical rooms first, then radiant and hydronic work, then kitchens and baths. Each one has a sheet number and a plain description of what you are looking at.

Phone (509) 575-0148 if you have a job like one of these.

Series M · Mechanical

Mechanical rooms and commercial

Water heaters, softeners, filtration, risers, pumps and an eye wash station. Commercial piping photographs well because it is built to be looked at, serviced and trusted.

Green piping risers with a copper manifold, meters and blue gate valves on a white wall — Sheet M-105 · Risers, copper manifold, meters and gate valves

Job note

Most plumbing ends up closed in behind drywall, ceilings or concrete. A mechanical room is the one place the whole system stays in view, so every valve, riser and run is there to be looked at and serviced.

More of this is on our commercial plumbing page, including water heaters, boilers, gas piping and air piping.

Series H · Hydronic

Radiant and hydronic

A warehouse floor of radiant PEX before the pour, and the manifolds that feed those loops. Heat that runs through the slab starts as this pattern of tubing.

Warehouse floor covered in serpentine radiant PEX loops laid over insulation board before the pour — Sheet H-101 · Radiant loops across a warehouse slab, before the pour

Two radiant manifolds mounted on plywood with dozens of PEX loops dropping to the slab — Sheet H-102 · Two manifolds, every loop running to the slab

Job note

Radiant tubing goes down before the concrete does. After the pour, these loops are the last thing anyone sees of the system, which is why the layout on the floor matters more than anything you can photograph afterward.

Radiant floors, hydronic heating and snowmelt all live on one page: hydronic and radiant heating.

Job note

Sinks, tubs, showers and toilets are the fixtures you see. The supply lines, valves and drains behind them are the part that has to be right.
