A quantity in terms of which the load producing effects on the plumbing system of different kinds of plumbing fixtures are expressed on some arbitrarily chosen scale

A vertical main of a system of soil, waste or vent extending through one or more stories

A valve which discharges a predetermined quantity of water to fixtures for flushing purposes and is actuated by direct water pressure

An exterior vertical drainage pipe for conveying storm from roof or gutter drain

A fitting or device so designed and constructed as to provide, when properly vented a liquid seal which will prevent the back passage of air without materially affecting the flow of sewage or waste water through it

A fixed bowl usually used for washing hands and face, also often used during brushing of teeth.

Bottom part of a pipe

Sanitary pipe carrying human excreta

They are commonly used for: starting and stopping flow regulating (throttling) flow preventing the reversal of flow or relieving of flow pressure.

Principal artery of any system of continuous piping to which branches may be connected

Faucets usually installed at open areas where there will be cleaning or irrigation

End-cap used as access point during maintenance or servicing of sanitary drainage pipe

The rain leader from the roof to the building storm drain, combined building sewer or other means of disposal located outside of the building

An approved tank or pit which receives sewage and which is located below the normal grade of the gravity system and which must be emptied by mechanical means.

A lined excavation in the which receives the discharge of a drainage system or part thereof, so designed as to retain the organic matter and solids discharging therein, but permitting the liquids to seep through the bottom and sides.

Deliver water to all customers of the system in sufficient quantity for potable drinking water and fire protection purposes, at the fitting pressure, with minimal loss, of safe and acceptable quality, and as economically as possible.

Provides water for drinking, cooking, sanitary, washing, and gardening purposes.

Water is supplied direct from mains to fixtures.

Water going to overhead tank and then the water is supplied to different floors by gravity

Provides continuous hot water to a certain building to satisfy the users’ needs and also act an important element in production process in industry.

Public water connection which are laid underground along the streets where the house service is connected

Pipe connection from the public water main or any source of water supply to the water distribution system of the building being served

Pipe within the structure or on the premises which conveys water from the water service pipe to the point of utilization.

vertical supply which extend upward from one floor to the next

horizontal pipes that serve water supply from the water distributing pipe to the fixture supply.

pipe connecting the fixture with the fixture branch.

used for normal water pressure coming from public water main for low rise buildings.

the water is pumped to a larger tank on top of the building and distributed the water to different fixtures by gravity

used where normal pressure cannot reach all floors of the building and uses compressed air as delivery agent of water.

Process of general requirement for supply of water from public water supply system to individual building and subsequent distribution of water to various parts of the building.

The following factors should be considered in selection of pipes, EXCEPT

A __________ is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, used mainly to convey substances which can flow - liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders, and masses of small solids.

include steel pipes, galvanized iron pipes, and cast iron pipes

include asbestos cement pipes and cement concrete pipes

include plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes and Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) pipes

_________ allow pipes to be joined or installed in the appropriate place and terminated or closed where necessary. Available in various shapes and sizes.

Distribution reservoirs, also called _____________, are the storage reservoirs which stored the treated water for supplying water during emergencies and also to help in absorbing the hourly fluctuations in the normal water demand.

The following are function of reservior, EXCEPT

These are also called ground reservoirs. Mostly circular or rectangular tanks

It is also referred to as overhead tanks.

Flow an equalizer between supply and demand Extra storage volume for emergency and fire protection

Storage Tank is NEEDED

Storage Tank is NOT NEEDED

A ________ is an exchangeable device which can be connected to a water supply and plumbing system to deliver and drain water.

bathtubs, bidets, channel drains, drinking fountains, kitchen sinks, lavatories (also called bathroom sinks), showers, urinals, utility sinks, water closets are example of

Determining the water requirement depending on the projected consumption by the occupant

_________ in buildings depend on different factors within the system such as residual pressure, height of building

Flow rates are based on computed fixture unit values

It is important to maintain the velocity of water on water lines because high velocity causes pipe erosion, noise and water hammer, high head loss, and scouring

Having high velocities in water lines may yield high pressure drops.

A _________ is a device that is used to increase the head (pressure) of a fluid.

Associated with tall building water distribution system. Has a rotating impeller within a pump case.

used on small water distribution system for elevating water in wells or other sources

Types of piston pump, EXCEPT

For water above pump formula

For water below pump formula

consists of a heater with storage tank and pipe connections to carry the hot water to the farthest fixtures with a continuous piping, to return the unused hot water back to the heater

protects the hot water supply system.

protects the hot water space heating system.

water is confined within a system at low temperature.

not in a closed system which operate on much higher temperature.

type of water heater that must have sufficient capacity to provide the maximum flow rate of hot water at an adequate temperature

used to raise the temperature of the regular hot-water supply to some higher than-normal temperature needed to perform special functions

contain between 10 and 20 s of domestic water storage, according to their rated heating capacity

Generally consists of horizontal branches vertical stacks a building drain inside the building and a building sewer from the building wall to the point of disposal

use 45° wye branches; combination wye - 1/8 bend branches, or other approved fittings of equivalent sweep
