HISTORY OF PLUMBING
● 17th century - Birth of plumbing
● WALLED CITY - known as Intramuros was established by the Spaniards
● NAMPAP - National Master Plumbers Association of the Philippines

PRINCIPLES
● Principle No. 1- All premises intended for human habitation, occupancy or use shall be
provided with a supply of pure and wholesome water, neither connected with unsafe
water supplies nor subject to hazards of backflow or back-siphonage.

● Principle No. 2 - Plumbing fixtures, devices and appurtenances shall be supplied with
water in sufficient volume and at pressure adequate to enable them to function
satisfactorily and without undue noise under all normal conditions of use.

● Principle No.3 - Plumbing shall be designed and adjusted to use the minimum quantity
of water consistent with proper performance and cleaning.

● Principle No. 4 - Devices for heating and storing water shall be so designed and installed
as to prevent dangers from explosion through overheating.

● Principle No. 5 - Every building having plumbing fixtures installed and intended for
human habitation, occupancy or usc on premises abutting on a street, alley or easement
where there is a public sewer, shall be connected to the sewer system.
● Principle No.6 - Each family dwelling unit on premises abutting on a sewer or with a
private sewage-disposal system shall have at least one water closet and one kitchen-type
sink. Further, a lavatory and bathtub or shower shall be installed to meet the basic
requirements of sanitation and personal hygiene .

● Principle No.7 - Plumbing fixtures shall be made of smooth non·absorbent material, free
from concealed fouling surfaces and shall be located in ventilated enclosures.

● Principle No. 8 - The drainage system shall be designed, constructed and maintained to
safeguard against fouling, deposit of solids, clogging and with adequate cleanouts so
arranged that the pipes may be readily cleaned.

● Principle No. 9 - All pipings of plumbing systems shall be of durable NAMPAP-

APPROVED materials, free form defective workmanship, designed and constructed by
Registered Master Plumbers to ensure satisfactory service.

● Principle No. 10 - Each fixture directly connected to the drainage system shall be
equipped with a water-sealed trap.

● Principle No. 11 - The drainage piping system shall be designed to provide adequate
circulation of air free from siphonage, aspiration or forcing of trap seals under ordinary
use.

● Principle No. 12 - Vent terminals shall extend to the outer air and installed to preempt
clogging and the return of foul air to the building.

● Principle No. 13 - Plumbing systems shall be subjected to such tests to effectively

disclose all leaks and defects in the workmanship.

● Principle No. 14 - No substance which will clog the pipes, produce explosive mixture,
destroy the pipes or their joints or interfere unduly with the sewage-disposal process shall
be allowed to enter the building drainage system.

● Principle No. 15 - Proper protection shall be provided to prevent contamination of food,

water, sterile goods and similar materials by backflow of sewage. When necessary, the
fixture, device or appliance shall be connected indirectly with the building drainage
system.

● Principle No. 16 - No water closet shall be located in a room or compartment which is

not properly lighted and ventilated.
 ● Principle No. 17 - If water closets or other plumbing fixtures are installed in buildings
where there is no sewer within a reasonable distance, suitable provision shall be made
for disposing of the building sewage by some accepted method of sewage treatment and
disposal, such as a septic tank.

● Principle No. 18 - Where a plumbing drainage system may be subject tb backflow of

sewage, suitable provision shall be made to prevent its overflow in the building.

● Principle No. 19 - Plumbing systems shall be maintained in serviceable condition by

Registered Master Plumbers. ·

● Principle No. 20 - All plumbing fixtures shall be installed properly spaced, to be

accessible for their intended use.

● Principle No. 21 - Plumbing shall be installed by Registered Master Plumbers with

due regard to the preservation of the strength of structural members and the prevention of
damage to walls and other surfaces through fixture usage.

● Principle No. 22 - Sewage or other waste from a plumbing system which may be
deleterious to surface or subsurface waters shall not be discharged into the ground or
into any waterway, unless first rendered innocuous through subjection to some acceptable
form of treatment.

FORMWORKS
● FORM - temporary boarding, to produce the desired shape and size of concrete.
● WOOD - most common and widely used forms in minor or major constructions
● CONCRETE - weighs about 2,200 to 2,400 kg./m^3
● COST - principal consideration in building construction
●

THE FACTORS CONSIDERED IN THE SELECTION OF FORMS ARE:

● Cost of materials
● The construction and assembling cost
● The number of times it could be used
● Strength and resistance to pressure and the tear and wear
