 PLUMBING
Is the art of installing in building the pipes, Plumbing fixtures, and other
appurtenances for bringing in the water supply, liquids, substances and/or
ingredients and removing them and such, water, liquid and other carried
waste affecting health and sanitation and hazardous to life and property.
PLUMBING SYSTEM

A Plumbing system, in simplest terms it

consists of a supply pipe
leading to a fixture and a drainpipe taking
the used water away from this fixture.

2 objectives of Plumbing:
❑ To supply water to different parts of the
building
❑ To remove and discharge human waste
and other substances out of the building
PLUMBING SYSTEM
The system constitutes the following:
1.The water supply and water
distribution system.
2. Plumbing Fixtures
3. Drainage System
WATER SUPPLY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM it is part of water supply network with
components that carry potable water from a centralized treatment plant or wells to
water consumers in order to adequately deliver water to satisfy residential ,
commercial, industrial & firefighting requirements.
Each plumbing fixture shall be provided with an ADEQUATE supply
of potable running water, so arranged as to flush and keep same in
clean and healthful conditions without danger of backflow or
cross-connection.
WATER MAIN:
Is the water supply pipe for the Community use.
SERVICE PIPE:
A pipe from the street water main or other source of water supply
to the building served.

Includes:
Gate Valve
Water Meter
CHECK VALVE:
A valve that automatically closes to prevent the flow of
liquid or gas in reverse direction
BUILDING SUPPLY PIPE:
A pipe carrying potable water from water meter or other
source of water supply to a building or other point of use or
distribution on the lot.
RISER:
A water supply pipe extending vertically
to one full storey or more to convey water
into the pipe branches or plumbing
fixture.

Controls and Valves:

Used for control, isolation and repair of
the water distribution system

 TYPES OF COLD WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

1. UPFEED SYSTEM

Advantage:
Eliminates extra cost of pumps
& tanks.

Disadvantage:
water is provided by the water
companies using normal
pressure from public water
main
 TYPES OF COLD WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

2. AIR PRESSURE SYSTEM

Advantage:
1. With compact pumping unit.
2.Sanitary due to air tight water chamber.

Disadvantage:
Water is affected by loss of pressure inside the tank in case of power
interruption
 TYPES OF COLD WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
3. DOWNFEED SYSTEM

Advantage:
1. Water is not affected by peak
load hour.
2. Not affected by power
interruptions.

Disadvantage:
1. Water is subjected to
contamination.
2. High maintenance cost
3. Requires stronger foundation
and other structure to carry
additional load of tank and
water.
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 cu. ft./minute).
No building water service pipe shall be less than 19mm in diameter.
SANITARY DRAINAGE SYSTEM is a system of piping within public/private premises
that coveys sewage or other liquid waste to an approved point of disposal.
@Subic Water Mabayuan Water treatment Plant
Horizontal drainage piping shall be
run in practical alignment and at a
uniform slope of not less than 2% or
20 mm/m towards the point of
disposal, provided that , where it is
impractical due to the depth of the
street sewer or to adverse
structural features or to some
irregular arrangements of affected
building or structure to obtain a
slope of 2 percent or any such pipe
or piping 102 mm or larger in
diameter may have a slope of not
less than 1% or 10 mm/m when first
approved by the Administrative
Authority.
Essential parts of Sanitary drainage system

WASTE PIPE:
Conveys only wastewater or liquid
waste free of fecal matter.

SOIL PIPE:
Pipe that carries soil waste from
sanitary units

VENT PIPE:
used for ensuring the circulation
of air in a plumbing system and
relieving the negative pressure
exerted on trap seals.
Essential parts of Sanitary drainage system
STACK:
the vertical main of a system of
soil, waste or vent piping
extending through one or more
stories and extended thru the
roof.

BRANCH:
any part of the piping system
other than a main, riser or stack.
trap is a plumbing device used to prevent smell, bacteria, also
insects entering your home.

Every water-using appliance or fitting has a drain line to flow out

the waste-water, and you must have a trap in the pipe that seals
the drain.
Each plumbing fixture, excepting those having integral traps, shall
be separately trapped by an approved-type waterseal trap. Not
more than one trap shall be permitted on a trap arm.

It is provided, however, that one trap may serve a set of not more
than three ( 3) single compartment sinks or laundry tubs of the
same depth or three (3) lavatories immediately adjacent to each
other and in the same room if the waste outlets are not more than
0.75 meter apart and the trap is centrally located when three (3)
compartments are installed.
The vertical distance between a fixture outlet and the trap weir shall
be as short as practicable, but in no case shall the tailpiece from any
fixture exceed 0. 6 meter in length.
Each horizontal drainage pipe shall be provided with a cleanout at
a) its upper terminal
b) each run of piping which is more than 15 meters in total
developed length and,
c) at every 15 meter length or a fraction thereof.
Cleanouts may be omitted on a horizontal drain line less than I. 5
meter in length unless such line is serving sinks or urinals.

Each cleanout shall be installed so it opens in the direction of flow to

allow cleaning of the soil or waste line or at right angles thereto
and, except in the case of wye branch and end-of-line cleanouts,
shall be installed vertically above the flow line of the pipe
Each cleanout extension shall be considered as drainage piping and each ninety
(90) degrees cleanout extension shall be extended from a wye type fitting or
other approved fitting of equivalent sweep
Storm drainage are required for roof areas, courts and courtyards to
collect stormwater and discharge the stormwater to an approved
point of disposal not in conflict with other ordinances or regulations.

SEPTIC TANK it is a watertight receptacle which receives the discharge of a sanitary
plumbing system, designed and constructed to retain solids, digest organic matter
through the period of retention and to allow liquid to discharge into the public sewer
or an approved sewage disposal system.
