Imagine having a central control point for all the water in your apartment. A tap starts leaking? You shut off only that specific point — without disconnecting the entire apartment. That is exactly what Golan’s manifold cabinets offer — the new standard changing the way apartment plumbing is designed in Israel.
Quick Summary
- Smart distribution – every water point gets its own independent valve
- Small or large – two sizes: small (55 cm) and large (86.3 cm)
- 9 to 16 points – flexible, depending on apartment size
- Includes a front-access ‘Tsukli’ mechanism – easy, quick access
- Suitable for block, drywall, concrete, and external construction
What makes a manifold cabinet so useful?
In traditional apartment plumbing, when something goes wrong, the whole apartment gets shut off. With a manifold cabinet, every room, every sink, every shower gets its own independent valve.
The benefits are clear:
- Targeted repairs – shut off only what’s needed
- Easy leak testing – turn off one point and measure
- Convenience for the next 20 years – an investment that pays off over time
Two sizes — for every apartment size
Golan offers two sizes of manifold cabinets:
Small cabinet – width 55 cm | up to 9 points
- Suitable for small and medium apartments
Large cabinet – width 86.3 cm | up to 16 points
- Suitable for large apartments or luxury homes
Both sizes: height 65 cm, depth 16 cm. They can be anchored to a concrete floor (2 bolts) and attached to the wall.
The new cabinets – layout and ‘Tsukli’
The new Golan cabinets come with a unique feature: front fastening (‘Tsukli’) — which allows quick, convenient access to the valves without dismantling the entire cabinet.
Installation during construction: you can install the Golan cabinet and lay out the piping — in one step — before the building is finished. That saves time and costs.
