What is a header?
What is a header?
(OP)
Sorry, I do not speak English very well. I have to translate some Japanese text to German, and now cannot find out, what a "header" is.
I have a "hot and cold water header level 1 and level2"
Is it a hose or pipe or something else?
Please help me!
Thank you!

RE: What is a header?
Vernacular though would be something like "a pipe feeding other pipes, or a mainline feeding sub-systems".
We would use that term to describe a 6" pipe feeding 10 2" pipes feeding smaller sub-systems.
A pump station with three pumps might have a common intake "header", with 3 smaller lines feeding fluid to each of the three pumps.
A hydraulic system might have a 1" supply "header" with 20 1/4" lines being fed off that 1" supply header.

A header can also be used for purposes of pressure equalization ( a partial mix header) and also to mix fluids to provide equal outlet enthalpy ( full mix header)

If you are installing water to serve 5 wash basins, then you could install a 1" pipe to feed the first basin, reducing down to 3/4" to the next basin and so on. This is messy and so you could instead install a single 'header' pipe with smaller branch connections to serve each basin. This looks neater and is easier to fit.
Alternatively you may wish to join 3 or 4 boilers together using a large 'header' pipe. This could be a reverse return header or a 'low-loss' header depending on your installation/design approach.
Hope this helps

Other disciplines such as communications, building and civil, electrical, mechanical, and mineral engineering have different definitions for the same word.
