hovedudtaget

Hovedudtaget is a Danish term used primarily in mechanical and building services engineering to denote the main take-off point from a supply network. The word combines hoved (main, head) and udtaget (take-off, outlet), and it is commonly used in technical manuals and drawings to describe the primary connection where a source such as water, heating medium, or gas branches off to feed subcircuits or devices.

In plumbing, a hovedudtaget may refer to the main service line where the public water supply enters a building and from which internal piping is distributed. In heating systems, it can denote the primary feed from a boiler or district heating network to branch circuits. In gas installations, the term describes the main service outlet from which gas is distributed to appliances.

Placement and accessibility of the hovedudtaget are important, as is adherence to safety and code requirements. Typical considerations include the installation of shut-off valves, backflow prevention devices, pressure regulation, and clear documentation in mechanical drawings. The exact configuration and terminology can vary by country, region, and project, and in international contexts the term may be replaced by more specific phrases such as main take-off, service connection, or distribution take-off.

Overall, hovedudtaget is a sector-specific term understood within Danish-speaking engineering communities, serving as a concise label for the primary branching point in a supply network.
