Water heater glossary: definition of half-and-half plumbing

More Lingo:


This is not a standard plumbing term, but our way to describe a water heater that has the cold plumbing coming in low down on the side, as above right, with the hot plumbing exiting through the cover of the tank, above left, as opposed to top-plumbed or side-plumbed. For whatever reason, the installer capped the cold-port nipple on this tank.
