Are you a plumber ? I thought its a waste of copper but maybe they needed valves at head height for some reason.

My father was and later he owned his own HVAC company, if he was still alive he'd be triggered by that pic because (among other things) they have just cut straight pieces of pipe and brazed elbows on each end instead of bending the pipe into L shapes to form the elbows on at least one end, it's lazy work and adds points of failure plus cost.

It's very neat but very inefficient and largely unfit for purpose. It's a distribution head for a heating system going by the expansion vessel. Laid out like that you'll have rads that get nice and toasty and others that really struggle. I suspect it's in a classroom or similar for demontration purposes however, given that there's no lagging.

How sure are you about this.

I'm reading the labels on the pipes and for heating distribution there seems to be a lot of pipes going off to toilets and urinals.

Not to mention, why would you create an octopus of hot water pipes right there (in a boiler room?), creating your very own radiator from the massive surface area of copper tube.

Would be more logical if it was cold water distribution with the lack of insulation and vast amount of piping exposed.

Sat waiting for a parcel. I could be busy, but....

It's definitely for cold water distribution, not only due to lack of insulation, but the fact it has urinals and toilets etc written on them AND you can see it feeds into the tank, not from it.

Err, no, it's not

Seems like a good tip about a good plumber avoids joints like that
