Study Notes
Water Heating and Storage Safety
- Design and install devices to prevent explosion risks from overheating.
- Sanitation requirements mandate each family dwelling unit have specific plumbing fixtures.
Plumbing Fixture Requirements
- Each dwelling must include one water closet, kitchen sink, lavatory, and tub/shower for hygiene.
- Fixtures must be made from smooth, non-absorbent materials and located in ventilated enclosures.
Drainage System Guidelines
- Drainage systems should prevent fouling, clogging, and include cleanouts for maintenance.
- All piping must use durable, NAMPAP-approved materials, installed by registered master plumbers.
Trap and Ventilation Standards
- Fixtures connected to drainage must have water-sealed traps, ensuring air circulation without siphonage.
- Vent terminals must reach outer air, preventing clogging and foul air return.
Testing and Contaminant Prevention
- Plumbing systems must be tested to identify leaks and defects.
- Substances that can clog pipes or harm sewage processes are not allowed in drainage systems.
Sewage Disposal Alternatives
- In areas without sewer systems, approved sewage treatment methods, like septic tanks, are required.
- Protection is necessary to prevent backflow contamination in fixtures.
Urinal Requirements by Occupancy
- Elementary schools require one urinal per 75 males, increasing based on the male population.
- Assembly places have similar standards, with varying needs based on the number of users.
Scullery Fixtures Materials
- Kitchen sinks must be made from stainless steel, cast iron enamel, or formed steel coated with porcelain enamel.
- Laundry tubs must be constructed from cement or porcelain.
Bathing Fixtures Specifications
- Bathtubs and whirlpool baths must accommodate plumbing access and drainage requirements.
- Bidets, set with specific spacing requirements, are used for personal hygiene.
Plumbing Material Standards
- Approved plumbing materials must be marked for identification (e.g., copper tubing types: M, L, K).
- Pressure-reducing valves maintain a maximum water pressure of 80 psi.
Drain, Waste & Vent Pipe Information
- Standard sizes for drainage pipes range from 1½” to 4” in diameter.
- Various materials, such as ABS and PEX, are used for drainage, waste, and vent applications.
Types of Plumbing Pipes
- A wide variety of pipes (e.g., PVC, copper, galvanized steel) are prevalent in plumbing systems, each suited for different uses.
- Specific properties of pipes include resistance to rust (copper, PEX) and pressure ratings (ABS for drainage systems).
Cast Iron Soil Pipe
- Cast iron remains a popular choice for drainage installations, recognized for its durability and ease of installation.
