I am looking for a detailed drawing(s) that show the piping configurations for different types of geothermal systems. I want to know the common ways that these systems are piped, valved, etc.

Thanks,
Brandon

Most manufacturers have specific requirements though rules of thumb are common and close. They are based on equipment, load, climate, soil,duct work and less tangible; job conditions, equipment and materials available. Your question is rather broad without this information.
The interesting thing is that as long as you have enough pipe, configuration is not as big a deal.
You might google the international ground source heat pump association for information or data and local contractors.
Good luck,

I am just looking for some general detail drawings that show the vavling and piping in the headers. Like a water heater detail or a pump detail.

You can get quite a bit of info from this ClimateMaster manual.

.....and many sites will show you a general glimpse of u-tube, 4 pipe, 6 pipe or slinky configurations. I suspected that your inquiry was more specific, if that is so, get with a local contractor and visit a site.
