Claim:
A crossover manifold system for hot and cold water faucet pairs arranged back to back on opposite sides of a partition, the system comprising: a pair of substantially identical manifold tubes and a mounting bracket for holding the tubes onto a drain/waste/vent pipe, wherein the manifold tubes comprise a first tube and a second tube, each tube comprising: a central section; a first intermediate section and a second intermediate section, wherein each intermediate section is adjacent to and angled with respect to the central section; and a first distal section and a second distal section, wherein each distal section is adjacent to and angled with respect to the first and second intermediate sections, respectively; wherein the first and second distal sections are approximately parallel to one another and to at least a portion of the central section; wherein the first intermediate section is not co-planar with the second intermediate section; wherein the first and second intermediate sections of each tube are of different lengths and the first and second distal sections of each tube are of different lengths, such that the central section of each tube is asymmetrically disposed along the length of the tube; wherein the mounting bracket holds the central sections of the tubes in a fixed position approximately parallel to one another; and wherein the first tube is disposed in an opposite orientation relative to the second tube, such that the first distal section of the first tube is disposed adjacent to the second distal section of the second tube and the second distal section of the first tube is disposed adjacent to the first distal section of the first tube; and said manifold being substantially equidistant from each side of a wall space into which the manifold is installed.
