What are PLUMBING FIXTURES?
Plumbing Fixtures are approved-type
installed receptacles, devices or
appliances supplied with water or
receive liquid or liquid-borne wastes and
discharge such wastes into the drainage
system to which they may directly or
indirectly connected. Industrial or
commercial tanks, vats and similar
processing equipment are not plumbing
fixtures, but may be connected to or
discharged into approved traps or
plumbing fixtures as provided for in the
National Plumbing Code

7/4/2016 DANILO V. RAVINA, RMP 2037 8

What is a FIXTURE UNIT?
FIXTURE UNIT is an arbitrary quantity in terms of which the
load-producing effects or water requirements on the plumbing
system of different kinds of plumbing fixtures are expressed in
some arbitrarily chosen scale. One fixture unit is equivalent to
a rate of flow at 28.3 liters per minute (1 cubic feet per minute)
or (7.5 gpm).

DRAINAGE FIXTURE UNIT (DFU) is a numerical

weighing factor to account for the probable
discharge into the plumbing drainage system by
various types of plumbing fixtures, using the single
lavatory as equivalent to 1 DFU.

WATER SUPPLY FIXTURE UNIT (WSFU) is a

numerical weighing factor to account for the water
demand of various plumbing fixtures, using the
lavatory for private use as equivalent to 1 WSFU.
DANILO V. RAVINA 9
 What are the common types of Plumbing
Fixtures?
Plumbing Fixtures, put in simpler term, are receptacles or
receivers attached to the plumbing system other than a trap
in which water or waste may be collected or retained for
ultimate discharge into the plumbing treatment facility and
point of discharge.

Their common types are:

1. Water Closet 2. Lavatory
3. Bathtub /Shower Stall 4. Kitchen Sink
5. Bidet 6. Urinal

 What is a Water Closet & What are its
Classifications?
Water Closet is a plumbing fixture used
to receive human excrement & to
discharge it through a waste pipe, using
water as a conveying medium.

Water Closets are classified according to:

1. Design
2. Make
3. Flushing Mechanism Used
4. Shape
5. Installation

DANILO V. RAVINA, NAMPAP -

12
CEBU
What are the types of water closet as to Design?
1. Siphon Washdown 2. Siphon Jet 3. Siphon Vortex 4. Reverse Trap

1. Siphon Washdown 2. Siphon Jet

The jet being submerged,

It is the least expensive but the
introduces water underwater so
noisiest; Only small amount of
that its operation is entirely
standing water, susceptible to
muffled. It has a large amount
fouling, staining &
of standing water to prevent
contamination
fouling

3. Siphon Vortex Reverse Trap

This type of bowl develops its
flushing action through the
water entering the diagonal
holes around the rim which
creates a swirling action which
forms a vortex in the center.
The trap way located at the rear
eliminated the bulge at the front.
The design of the bowl plus its
large water area & quietness in
operation, makes it desirable
than the siphon washdown.
