Introduction

This module is designed to familiarize students with the concept of


sanitary disposal of waste and the principle of introducing clean water in to
the residential unit from the source. It will also help the students understand
the intricacy of designing and planning a sanitary plumbing and sewerage
layout. It also familiarizes them with the different abbreviations and symbols
used in drafting of sanitary and plumbing layout, the specification materials
used for the construction and the different kinds of fittings intended for a
sound construction of the layout.
Plumbing drawings are prepared to a very small-scale. Therefore,
schematic symbols are used for drawing plumbing lines, fixture, and other
components as they actually appear. These symbols are used to show the
type and location of fixtures, valves, joints, and other plumbing devices.

Lesson 1: Draft Water Distribution System

This lesson is designed to familiarize you with drafting the proper


distribution of water system (hot and cold water) and the signs and symbols
used which are based on the standard water code of the Philippines.

Operational Definition of Terms:

Aluminum is a lightweight but relatively strong metal often alloyed with


copper to increase hardness and strength.

Gate Valve is usually chosen for locations where it is left completely open
most of the time because it offers the least resistance to the flow of water.

Diagrammatic Layout is used for drafting layouts in architectural plans.

Nipples are short pieces of pipes threaded on both ends.

Plumbing refers to the water supply and drainage of wastewater sewage.

Plumbing system refers to the supply pipes that carry fresh waste water
under pressure from a public water supply or individual wells to fixtures.

Reducer is used to connect straight section pipes of different sizes.

Scale Layout is used for drafting large pipes.

Overview
Water is a necessity. It is conveyed from the source to the household
through a system of pipes. Water distribution systems for residential and
commercial buildings are conveyed thru pipes, a PVC, Cast Iron, or G.I.
pipe.

296
Hot and cold water is supplied to the buildings by a series of pipes
connected from the source under pressure to the building fixtures through a
water line distribution system.

There are two classifications of piping: industrial and residential.


Industrial piping is used to carry liquids and gases used in the manufacture
of products. Steel pipe with welded or threaded connections and fittings is
used in heavy construction. Residential piping is called plumbing and
carries fresh water, gas, or liquid and solid waste. The pipe used in plumbing
is made of copper, plastic, galvanized steel, or cast iron.

Pipes used for water line distribution systems may be classified as:
1. Steel and wrought iron pipe
2. Cast iron pipe
3. Seamless brass and copper pipe
4. Copper tubing
5. Special pipes such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), Aluminum and
stainless Steel pipes, and CPV’C (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
pipe, and PPR pipes.

Water main refers to the public sewer system along the streets, or
laid underground where the service to the household is connected. Water
coming from it is under pressure but normally could serve only houses of
moderate height. A pump is installed to augment the pressure that forces
the water to move inside the pipe.
The size of the service pipe is determined by the demand of water. A
maximum demand is one factor, or the maximum discharge for plumbing
fixtures and the probable demand is another, which is the peak demand or
peak load.

Connection of Pipes
Pipes are connected by methods dependent upon the material and
the demands of service. Steel, brass, or bronze pipes are normally threaded
and screwed into coupling and fitting. Fittings are used to join adjacent
297
lengths of pipes and to provide changes of direction, and branch
connections at any angle and to effect a change in size.

Connections
1. Threaded connections
2. Soldered fittings
3. Connection by f olded flanges
4. Solvent cement weld connections

Common Types of Fittings


1. Screwed fittings
2. Welded joints
3. Flanged joints
4. Solder joints
5. Slip fittings (for plastic pipes)

Valves
1. Gate valves
2. Globe valves
3. Check valves
4. Pressure reducing valves
5. Safety valves
Valves are specified by giving nominal size, material, and ride.

Kinds of Fittings
1. Elbows are used to change direction of a pipeline to either 90
degrees or 45 degrees.
2. Tee connects three pipes.
3. Cross connects four pipes.
4. Couplings are used to connect straight section pipes.
5. Reducers are used to connect straight section pipes of different
sizes.

298
6. Nipples are short pieces of pipes threaded on both ends and
classified as close nipples and short nipple.
7. Cap is used to close the end of a pipe.
8. Plug is used to close an opening in a fitting.
9. Bushing is used to reduce the size of an opening.
10. Unions are used to close systems and to connect pipes that are
to be disassembled occasionally.

Know

The plumbing system is important to the designer or draftsman.


Although plumbing plans may be omitted on small residential dwellings, they

301
are always included in larger projects for small residences; the plumbing
layout is left to the contractor or the owner to decide.

A plumbing system performs two major functions which are:


1. For water distribution
2. Sewage disposal

COMMON PLUMBING
SYMBOLS

Water distribution systems, whether hot or cold, are distributed by


pipes from the source to the house. The water distribution system is shown
in an elevation, on a plan and as an isometric drawing using the different
symbols, hence this is called a schematic drawing.

302
They are used to show the type and location of fixtures, joints valves and
other devices.
The difference in appearance of an orthographic drawing of fixtures and
other devices with that of a schematic drawing is shown in the figure.

the water supply line to the different fixtures they have identified.

Try to draw the water supply line to indicate the pipe fittings used and the
different fixtures and the water flow.

3. After highlighting the pipe fittings used and indicated the water supply
source and its flow, darken the supply line and indicate the pipe and fixture
specifications by writing them beside the fixtures as indicated by the arrow. Then,
write down the legend for identification.

The Water Line Layout

The water distribution system is the network of pipes and fittings for
conveying water to the plumbing fixtures while the system of pipes and fittings for
carrying off wastes is referred to as sanitary installation
The building water entrance pipe is connected to the street by means of a
corporation cock, if the water is supplied by the community. The amount of water
passing through the water service is measured by the water meter. If water service
is supplied through a deep well, a water meter is not necessary. From this, the
water pipes branch out to the fixtures inside the residential unit requiring water.
Clean water lines are represented on a plan by a visible line and two dashes,
while sanitary lines are represented by a bold continuous line. The fixtures are
indicated by their common symbols. Storm drainage lines are drawn with two
invisible lines that run parallel to each other. While vent pipes are bold hidden lines.
The operation of the basic plumbing system is readily understood through
the diagram shown here.
To get water to a structure for use by the tenants and to remove sewage
and unwanted water is the purpose of a plumbing system.

Lesson 2. Draft Sanitary and Storm Drainage

Know

The sanitary installation is referred to as the network of pipes and fittings


that carry off wastes and each plumbing fixture is titled with the appropriate pipe
and fitting. The discharges are conveyed to the septic vault.
The storm drainage system, on the other hand, consists of pipes, fittings,
catch basins, area drain and is intended for getting rid of water from the building
roof and its surrounding and is conveyed to the street sewer. The storm drainage
is considered part of the plumbing system.
The pipe used for sanitary and storm drainage most common to
homeowners and contractors are the plastic pipe or Polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipes
and the concrete pipe for area drain.

Overview

Wastewater is discharged by gravity through the disposal system. All pipes


in this system therefore must slant in a downward direction so the weight of the
waste will cause it to move down. Because of this gravity flow, waste lines are
larger than water lines. The stacks are the vertical lines while the branches are the
horizontal lines. Vents are also provided for air circulation and to permit sewer
gases to escape through the roof. This equalizes the air pressure in the drainage
system.
The wastewater flows starting at the fixture trap, which is provided to stop
gases from entering the building and each fixture has a separate trap or seal to
prevent backflow of sewer gas, through the fixture branches to the main sewer line.
Waste stacks carry only wastewater while solid wastes runs thru the soil
lines, which are the largest in the system and are flushed with water after each use.

323
Piping systems are vital to modern society. Some systems may be complex;
others may be simple such as in a residential dwelling unit. But they share some
common elements, whether they are steel, plastic, copper pipes, or tubing.
Sanitary and storm drainage for residential dwelling are either wrought iron
pipes, Polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipes and for drainage is either concrete pipe or
PVC pipe. The more common today is the unplasticized Polyvinylchloride (uPVC)
pipe.
Polyvinyl pipe and fittings are available in commercial length of 3.0 meters
and also available in schedule 40 and 80. They are usually assembled with slip
joint fittings and solvent, both PVC and chlorinated Polyvinylchloride (cPVC) pipes
are commonly available in sizes ranging from ½’ to 4” inside diameter.

The Sewage Disposal System


Absence of a good sewage disposal system can result in contamination of
water and be the source of water-borne diseases. It is important to value a good
disposal system.
There are different types of sewage disposal system, from the old to the
more scientific ones:
1. Cesspool
2. Privy
3. Septic Tank
4. Public Sewer Line
The sanitary system is of two types: the intercepting and the tributary or
contributing sewer. The intercepting type is constructed with concrete pipes while
the tributary sewer is laid in an open trench and is made of vitrified clay or bricks.

The Septic Tank

The septic system converts solid wastes into liquid by bacterial action. The
wastes flow into a septic tank some distance away from the house. The liquid waste
flows thru to the sewer line while the sludge remains at the digestion chamber of
the tank.
The septic tank is constructed with reinforced concrete, it should be located
at a safe distance from the source of potable water, and it should also be airtight.
The size and type of the system varies according to the number of people
served, the contour, and soil type.

Know

The Drainage System


The drainage system is sometimes referred to as the DWV or the
drainage, the waste, and the vent system. The construction and installation of this
must conform to the provisions of the building and plumbing codes. Some of the
general requirements are as follows:
1. Pipes must be fitted and tightly connected to avoid leakage.
2. Ventilation must convey gases to the atmosphere.
3. Each fixture must be provided with a suitable trap to prevent backflow or
gases.
4. The fixture must be re-vented to avoid siphoning of the water seal.
5. Drainage pipes should be sloped or graded properly.
6. Drainage pipes should be provided with adequate clean out for maintenance
purposes.

The waste pipe which receives the discharge of any fixture except water
should be installed at 2% or 20mm slope per meter run. The size of the waste pipe
is to be considered in the installation as this pipe serves fixture discharges. And
when the pipe must be opened in case of trouble, a clean-out should also be
installed and must be accessible to the plumber.

Slope or Pitch
The soil pipe receives and conveys drainage of water closets and other
fixtures to the house drain. It should be properly concealed or embedded and
should be placed in a manner that the branches should be as short as possible. As
a rule, it should extend and terminate through the roof of the building.

333
Second Floor

First Floor

The House Drain

The sanitary drain receives only discharges of sanitary and domestic wastes
while the storm drain receives storm, clear water, or surface water wastes.

334
A typical house drain is shown below.

The House Sewer

The portion of the horizontal drainage system starts from the outer surface
of the dwelling and terminates at the public sewer. A minimum size of 150mm (6ӯ)
is used for residential dwellings.

335
The Storm Drain
It is the part of the plumbing system which conveys rain or storm water into
the street gutter. It is of two types: the inside storm drain and the outside storm
drain. Layout of the two is shown in the following illustrations.

336
The Catch Basin
The catch basin water discharges from the roof and conveys it to the
storm drainage line. It is more or less of the same use as the area drain. It
also serves as a manhole for cleaning.

only. As you draw the outline, draw also the thickness of the sides of the
septic vault, taking into consideration the thickness of CHB used for wall
partitions.

4. Indicate also the location of the manhole and the manhole cover. After
drawing the outline recheck your measurements. Write down your
dimensions and be ready to draw the reinforcing bars. You may draw your
rebars covering the whole area of the vault or you can show a portion of it
only.

340
5. Draw the vertical and horizontal bars for the reinforcement of the septic
vault. The standard distances and size of the rebars are 12mm Ø for vertical
bars and 10mmØ for horizontal bars. The slabs on top of it would be 10mm
Ø spaced at 20cm in both ways of the slab.

6. Draw only the portion you wish to show the detail of the reinforcements.
Now, indicate the inlet valve in the digestion chamber, its position or
location, and its size, together with the outlet valve.

7. From the plan you have already drawn, project dimensions downward and
draw a longitudinal section of your septic vault. Remember the thickness
and measurements of the plan should be the same as your section.

341
1. With the data on its depth you have gathered, lay out the depth of the septic
vault, including its foundation and footing. Indicate the location of your inlet
and outlet valves which should have a distance from the bottom of the slab
of about 30 cm. for the air space and the water level.

2. Draw vertical and horizontal bars on the sides and on the footing.
