The Health Sciences Building is loaded with stainless steel hand sinks,
classroom sinks, and science lab sinks, many with gas/water turrets.

The gas/water turrets in each classroom are supplied through the master shutoff valves,
shown here contained inside a shatterproof lockable cabinet box

Hot water is provided to the Health Sciences Building by means of this Lochinvar gas water
heater and hot water storage tank. Grundfos circulator pumps help ensure that hot water is
circulated through the piping system so that faucets deliver hot water on demand.

The gas piping system coming into the building includes a manual reset safety shutoff valve
and a gas pressure regulator. Sch40 steel piping is shown here outside; much of the gas piping
inside consists of Wardflex Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing and Fittings.

Some of the commercial ADA-compliant plumbing fixtures installed include comfort-
height water closets, wheelchair accessible wall-hung lavatories, men's urinals, and
showers with handheld sprays.

Water and drain stubouts are installed in the wall during construction...

...to supply the piping to the countertop lavs and faucets.

The red canisters are Hilti Cast-In-Place Firestop Devices. If a fire should occur in the finished
building, the firestop devices prevent the spread of smoke and fire between floors wherever a
plumbing pipe penetrates the deck.
