1. Traditional Home vs. Mobile Home Plumbing

Did you know that the plumbing basics are generally the same in both types of home? They use the same logistics and even some designs. However, there are a few obvious differences. The biggest one the location of the pipes, the size of the pipes, and how simplified the system can be due to HUD code.

2. Identify Supply Lines

Just like a traditional home, mobile homes use supply lines. They feed water into the home. Mobile homes also use wastewater lines as a traditional home does. It is important for you to know the location of both types of lines. Mobile homes tend to have the supply lines run under the home. They can be in the middle alongside the heating ducts or located on the side. It all depends on the location of your water heater and home’s layout.

3. Cut Off Valves

In addition, mobile homes also use cut off valves just like traditional homes. They can usually be located near the plumbing fixture including toilet, sink, et. In general, there may also be a whole home cut off valve near the supply lines. These are essential if you have to repair or replace any item in your mobile home’s plumbing system. You may also have to cut off the main valve off if there is excessive pressure in your lines.

4. Ventilation Pipes

These pipes help the waste lines keep the proper water pressure and provide a vacuum. In short, ventilation pipes are used in all sorts of homes to keep your water where it should be. They are just as essential as supply and wastewater lines to keep a plumbing system working properly.
