1. INTRODUCTION

Electricity is an invisible force that is used to transfer energy into heat, light, intelligence, or motion. Electricity is explained in terms of electrical charge, potential difference (or voltage), electrical charge flow (or current), and resistance to current flow. The normal unit of current measurement is the ampere, whereas the normal unit of voltage measurement is the volt. The unit of opposition to current flow, or resistance, is the ohm. Electricity service in a building consists of light switches, sockets, clock connectors, cooker control units and similar outlets. Such fittings are collectively known accessories; this name came about because they are accessory to the wiring, which is the main substance of the installation. A switch is used to make or interrupt a circuit. A complete switch consists of three parts. There is the mechanism itself, a box containing it, and a front plate over it. A successful electrical power and lighting project depends on effective planning in the form of drawings, schedules, and contract specifications. This contract documentation provides a concise picture of the objectives for the electrical project work to be done. It also serves as a record of intent for owners and as instructions and guidance for contractors, electricians, installers, and others performing the work. Contract documents, which might also include surveys and test data, are legal documents, and they can be used as evidence in court cases involving contractor malfeasance, or failure to comply with the intent of the drawings and specifications. The present conformity to accepted formats for drawings and specifications is the result of years of practical experience reinforced by accepted national and international standards issued by government agencies and private standards organizations. Drawing for an electrical project serves for different purpose. 1. Describes the electrical project in sufficient detail to allow electrical contractors to use the drawings in estimating the cost of materials, labor, and services when preparing a contract bid.

Instructs and guides electricians in performing the required wiring and equipment installation while also warning them of potential hazards such as existing wiring, gas pipes or plumbing systems. 3. Provides the owner with an as-built record of the installed electrical wiring and equipment for the purposes of maintenance or planning future expansion. The owner then becomes responsible for recording all wiring and equipment changes. A typical electrical drawing consists of solid or dashed lines representing wiring or cables and symbols for luminaries, receptacles, switches, auxiliary systems, and other electrical devices and their locations on a scaled architectural floor plan of a home or building. The drawings also include title blocks to identify the project, the designers or engineers, and the owner, and change blocks to record any changes that have been made since the drawing was first issued. 1.1 PLANNING FOR ELECTRICAL DESIGN INSTALLATION SYSTEMS The Regulations recommend that every consumers installation should have a means of isolation, a means of over current protection and a means of earth leakage protection. This recommendation applies whatever the size or type of installation. 1.1.1. SEQUENTIAL STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL LIGHTING DESIGN Step 1: Determine Lighting Design Criteria Design Criteria: Quantity of Illumination Illumination is generally measured in the horizontal plane 30" above the floor. The units of illumination are foot-candles or fc (lumens per square foot) or lux (lumens per square meter). The IESNA categorizes light level criterion recommendations based on complexity and difficulty of the visual tasks being performed in the space. Step 2: Record Architectural Conditions and Constraints Architectural conditions that may control or affect lighting design decisions. The two conditions that most frequently affect lighting design are window location and size and the availability and size of plenum space. It is not uncommon for the structural system and/or its materials, ceiling heights, partition construction and/or materials, ceiling systems and their materials, and finish materials to have significant influence on lighting solutions. Step 3: Determine Visual Functions and Tasks to Be Served

Jun. 20

HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2

Page 2

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY In the case of a residential dining room, the primary visual task is the dining table, where seeing the food on the table and the faces of other diners is the first priority. An additional need is to see the items on a buffet when it is used as a serving station; third, a painting on a wall deserves accent lighting. While the corners of a residential dining room may not be lighted, a typical room of this size does not require perimeter lighting, assuming the luminaries(s) for lighting the table is selected to throw off adequate peripheral light reception room, which might serve a small suite of business or professional offices, is typical of many office building settings. The only critical visual tasks are related to the receptionists workstation, where conventional deskwork and reading printed material in the file drawers must be accommodated. Working-level lighting in that area automatically provides a lighting accent in that corner of the room so that the attention of visitors is naturally drawn to the receptionist as they enter the room. The visual tasks in the remainder of the space call for ambient light for conversation and casual short-term reading. Rooms of this kind often have a visual feature such as framed artwork or a company logo that calls for focused accent lighting. Step 4: Select Lighting Systems to be used The location of the light source is critical. Should light come from above or at eye level (or occasionally from below)? Should the light be directed or diffuse? Should the light source be visible or hidden? The architectural conditions and constraints described in Step 2 often affect these decisions due to lack of plenum space, available ceiling height, or difficulty in getting power to particular locations. It is impossible to generalize about the effects of architectural conditions because each case is so individual. Step 5: Select Luminaire and Lamp Types Based on the lighting systems decisions made, select luminaries and lamp types. The details of luminaries construction, shape, and dimension must produce the desired direction and concentration of light as well as fit the details of construction type and the materials with which they are to be integrated. Aesthetic compatibility often plays a major role in luminaries selection; shape, style, materials, and color must integrate with architectural quality as well as the details of interior finishes and furnishings.

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY It is not uncommon for lamp selection criteria to be the dominant factor in luminary selection when the lamp qualities are critical for economic, code, or color factors. In our case we have chosen U-bent and fluorescent because it is cost efficient, green technology, and they give sufficient light with minimum power and also ELPA is encouraging to use this type. U-bent lamps are straight lamps that are manufactured in a U shape but otherwise perform about the same as straight lamps. Standard straight and U-bent lamps are preferred for general illumination Because of their cost effectiveness and energy efficiency. In current designs, the T-8 is the most commonly used general-purpose lamp, and the T-5 and T-5 high-output lamps are becoming increasing popular for a number of specific lighting systems. The T-12 lamps are an older style that is less energy efficient. Compact Fluorescent Lamps

Step 6: Determine Number and Location of Luminaries Accurate luminarys placement, required levels of illumination, and the avoidance of veiling reflections should all be accomplished. Then determine how many of each luminaries type is required. Often, several luminaries-lamp combinations are considered, so the number HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 4

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY of luminaries will vary with the lumen output of each combination. In the great majority of cases in which luminaries are placed in, on, or suspended from the ceiling, they should be placed in an orderly pattern, creating an obvious visual geometry.

Methods to calculate number of lamps The two methods used to calculate the number of lamps is Watt per Square Meter Method and Lumen method. Watt per Square Meter is mostly applicable for rough calculation .It consists in making an allowable of three watt per square ft to be laminated. The second method considers the specification of lamp and the real situation of the area. Step 7: Place Switching and Other Control Devices User traffic paths, room usage, and user convenience should be your guides to good switching and control systems. Repeated experience and familiarity with controls technology create workable and usersatisfying solutions. Take into account the opportunities conveyed by the most recent developments in controls that automate energy management or user convenience function. Step 8: Aesthetics and Other Intangibles The aesthetic and psychological factors that must be considered in a complete approach to lighting design are, by their nature, intangible and difficult to categorize. 1.2.

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY 1.3.2 Lamp Size The physical size of the lamp affects the size of the luminaire and, in turn, determines how some sources might be used. Small, low-wattage lamps permit small luminaries, such as under cabinet lights and reading lights; large, high-powered lamps, such as metal halide stadium lamps, require a large luminaries, both for heat and for the reflector needed to aim the light properly Voltage The electric power needed to operate a lamp is measured first by voltage. In the United States, the standard voltage services are 120 volts, 240 volts, 277 volts, and 480 volts. The standard 120-volt service is available in all building types; 240-, 277-, and 480-volt services are available only in large industrial and commercial buildings. Service voltage varies from country to country. Many types of low-voltage lamps, operating at 6, 12, or 24 volts, are used throughout the world. Transformers are used to alter the service voltage to match the lamp voltage. Bulb Temperature The bulb of a lamp can get quite hot. The bulb temperature of incandescent and halogen lamps and most high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps is sufficiently high to cause burns and, in the case of halogen lamps, extremely severe burns and fires. Fluorescent lamps, while warm, are generally not too hot to touch when operating, although contact is not advised. Operating Temperature Fluorescent lamps are sensitive to temperature caused by the ambient air. If the bulb of the lamp is too cool or too hot, the lamp will give off less light than when operated at its design temperature. Most other lamps give off the same amount of light at the temperatures encountered in normal applications. Operating Position Some lamps produce more light or have longer lamp life when operated in specific positions with respect to gravity. Metal halide lamps are especially sensitive; some versions will not operate unless in the specified position. 1.3.4 INCANDESCENT AND HALOGEN LAMPS Incandescent lamps generate light when electric current heats the lamps filament. The hotter the filament, the whiter the light. The problem is that as the lamp filament gets hotter, the more rapid the HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 15

Jun. 20

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY evaporation of metal from the filament. A very dim lamp giving off yellow-orange light (2200K) may last a long time; a lamp giving off pure white (5000K) light will probably last for a few seconds only. The evaporated filament material blackens the bulb wall. Standard incandescent lamps today use tungsten filaments that generate a warm-colored white light and last about 750 to 1000 hours. Two special types of incandescent lampskrypton-incandescent lamps and xenon-incandescent lampsmake lamps last a bit longer. The temperature of the incandescent lamp bulb is generally too hot to touch but luminaries are designed to prevent inadvertent contact, so in general, the lamps heat is not a problem. The color temperature of incandescent lamps is about 2700K, generating a warm-toned light.

1.3.2.1 FLUORESCENT LAMPS The fluorescent lamp is the workhorse light source for commercial and institutional buildings. Fluorescent lamps use the principle of fluorescence, in which minerals exposed to ultraviolet light are caused HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 16

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY to glow. Electric energy excites the gas inside the lamp, which generates ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light in turn excites the phosphors, which are a mixture of minerals painted onto the inside of the bulb. Phosphors are designed to radiate particular colors of white light, thus enabling the choice of both the color temperature and CRI of a lamp. The color of the lamp is described by the name or designation. Traditional lamp colors include cool white, warm white, and daylight. However, modern lamps are identified by a color name that designates its color temperature and CRI. For example, a lamp having a color temperature of 3500K and a CRI between 80 and 90 is known as the color 835.

Fluorescent Lamps 1.3.2.2 Standard Straight and U-bent Lamps Most common fluorescent lamps are straight tubes. The longest standard fluorescent lamps are 8' long and the shortest are 4". The most common length is 4', and the most common diameters are 58" (T-5), 1" (T-8), and 1 12" (T-12). U-bent lamps are straight lamps that are manufactured in a U shape but otherwise perform about the same as straight lamps. Standard straight and U-bent lamps are preferred for general illumination because of their cost effectiveness and energy HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 17

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY efficiency. In current designs, the T-8 is the most commonly used general-purpose lamp, and the T-5 and T- 5 high-output lamps are becoming increasing popular for a number of specific lighting systems. The T-12 lamps are an older style that is less energy efficient. 1.3.2.3 Compact Fluorescent Lamps There are two major types of compact fluorescent lamps: those with screw bases, designed to directly replace incandescent lamps in incandescent lamp sockets, and those with plug-in bases designed to fit into sockets in luminaries designed specifically for compact fluorescent lamps. Because compact fluorescent lamps, like all fluorescent lamps, require ballast, lamps with screw bases are larger and costlier than those for dedicated. There are two major types of compact fluorescent lamps: those with screw bases, designed to directly replace incandescent lamps in incandescent lamp sockets, and those with plug-in bases designed to fit into sockets in luminaries designed specifically for compact fluorescent lamps. Because compact fluorescent lamps, like all fluorescent lamps, require ballast, lamps with screw bases are larger and costlier than those for dedicated compact fluorescent luminaries. As a result, it is generally best to employ dedicated compact fluorescent luminaries in new designs. Screw-based compact fluorescent lamps should be used to convert incandescent type luminaries only after the fact.

Compact Fluorescent Lamps

CONCLUSION From this electrical design part of the project we get a lot of knowledge on designing electrical works such as light design, cable size, and other fixtures. The main design considerations when we select the materials are safety and economy. The materials that we used for lighting are florescent and U-shape compact florescent lamps. This is because of their efficiency. For example 11W compact florescent lamps give equivalent elimination with the previous 40W incandescent lamps. There for if we use compact florescent lamps we can save the energy by 50%. Hence we HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 19

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY are more economical at the same time we are safe. The same is true for other florescent lamps. The Ethiopian Electric & Light Power Authority (EELPA) also advertizes this lamp instead of using incandescent lamps for their economic case and their compatibility with Green Technology.

Copper Copper is supplied in lengths and coils and in a range of diameters. Copper is a malleable and ductile material which you will use frequently throughout your plumbing career. There are several types of copper tubes manufactured for use in the plumbing industry: b. Lead The term plumber is derived from the chemical symbol Pb, and the Latin phrase plum bum, which when translated, means worker of lead. Traditionally, lead was commonly used for water supply, sanitary and rainwater pipe work, but it has now been superseded by the use of materials, such as plastics and copper. These days, its main use in the plumbing industry is for sheet lead weatherings as its use for new water supply pipe work is prohibited, although you may come into contact with lead pipe work if renewing an old service pipe. Lead is a very heavy, valuable metal which requires careful handling. It is ideal for sheet roof work as it is extremely malleable. c. Cast iron Cast iron is an alloy of iron and approximately 3% carbon. It has been used in the plumbing industry for many years for above and below ground drainage pipe work. Cast iron is very heavy but quite brittle, and can withstand many years of general wear and tear. You will probably come into contact with it on older properties on newer buildings it has been superseded by plastic-PVC. Copper is also used in the manufacture of pipe work fittings. As with lead, cast iron is sometimes used on historic buildings and lead, cast HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 21

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY iron is occasionally used on new build public and commercial buildings, where its strength and rigidity are an advantage. d. Alloys Alloys can be produced either by mixing different metals or by mixing metals with non-metallic elements, such as carbon. Steel is one of the most common alloys in the world and many plumbing materials and appliances are made of different types of steel. Other alloys include: Brass (alloy of copper and zinc) which is used for various types of plumbing fittings (see Figure 4.20). Taps are chrome plated for decorative effect. The image shows an example of brass used in the manufacture of pump isolation valves. Bronze (copper and tin), again, used mainly for fittings Solder (lead and tin), which is used for soldering capillary fittings, although solder containing lead is no longer permitted for use on water supply pipe work, which is a requirement of the Water Regulations. Low carbon steel (LCS) or mild steel is an alloy made from iron and carbon. It is commonly used in the plumbing and heating industry in larger premises, such as factories and commercial buildings. In the domestic market, radiators are manufactured from steel, and LCS pipe work and fittings are used in some small residential buildings for central heating systems. LCS pipe is manufactured to BS 1387:1985 and comes in three grades of weight: light, medium and heavy. As with copper tube, the internal bore and wall thickness varies. Light LCS tube thin walls larger bore Medium LCS tube medium walls medium bore Heavy LCS tube thick walls smaller bore Light LCS is mostly used for electrical conduit. As a plumber, you may come across it occasionally, but are more likely to work with medium and possibly heavy grades. Medium and heavy LCS tubes are used for water supply and heating services, and are capable of sustaining high pressures. Heavy grade LCS tube can be identified by a red band painted towards the end of the tube, and medium by a similarly positioned blue marking. When LCS tube is used for water supplies it must be galvanized. e. Stainless steel Stainless steel pipe work was used extensively in the domestic market during the copper shortage of the 1970s; it is not that common today, although you may come across it while completing maintenance work.

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY The tube has a shiny appearance due to the chromium and nickel content and is protected from corrosion by a microscopic layer of chromium oxide, which quickly forms around the metal and prevents further oxidization. This tube is produced with bores of 635 mm and has an average wall thickness of 0.7 mm. Galvanized tubes have an outer layer of zinc, which prevents the process of oxidation or rust. Stainless steel pipe work is more commonly found where exposed pipe work and sanitary appliances are needed, as it is a very strong metal (much stronger than copper) and is easy to clean. Stainless steel is commonly used for: Sink units and other sanitary appliances Urinal units and supply pipe work Commercial kitchen or catering installation pipe work. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most common pipework materials, and is used for discharge and drainage pipework Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) is more rigid than PVC and is used for cold water supply pipe work Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is able to withstand higher temperatures than PVC, it is used for small diameter waste, discharge and overflow pipe work Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) can withstand very high temperatures, up to 300C, and is generally used as a thread sealant Polystyrene is brittle and light; it is used generally for insulation purposes, but must have fire-retardant capabilities. f. Other materials relevant to the plumbing industry Ceramics include those products which are made by baking or firing mixtures of clay, sand and other minerals bricks, tiles, earthenware, pottery, and china. There is a sense in which the kiln firing process is creating artificial metamorphic rocks by using heat to fuse together the individual ingredients of the product into a matrix. The main constituent of all these products is silicon, clay is aluminum silicate; sand is silica dioxide. This category would also include those products made by curing mixtures of sand, gravel, water, and a setting agent (usually cement) to concrete, and mortar, a sand, water and cement mixture. Vitreous china is made from a mixture of white burning clays and finely ground minerals which are mixed and fired at high temperatures. 2.1.1.2 Properties of materials What are a materials basic properties? HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 23

Jun. 20

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY In general terms, you may say this could be how strong it is, how well it conducts heat or electricity, or how flexible it is. Scientifically, materials are classified according to a variety of properties and characteristics. The properties can be measured as the materials react to a variety of influences, which include: Mechanical properties, such as hardness, strength, elasticity, toughness, stiffness, ductility, malleability Thermal properties like conductivity (how well or poorly a material will conduct heat) Electrical properties like conductivity (how well or poorly a material will conduct electricity) Chemical properties like reactivity and solubility Optical properties like transparency, reflectivity, refractivity Magnetic properties. Hardness There are many different aspects of materials which could be considered as a measure of hardness. Hardness can mean resistance to permanent or plastic deformation by scratching, indentation, bending, breaking, abrasion or fracture. This is a very important factor in materials which have to resist wear or abrasion a sink tap for example and frequently needs to be considered along with the strength of materials. Strength The strength of a material is the extent to which it can withstand an applied force or load (stress) without breaking. Load is expressed in terms of force per unit area, and is measured in newtons per square metre (N/m2). This can be in the form of: Compression force, as applied to the piers of a bridge, or a roof support Tensile or stretching force, as applied to a guitar string, tow rope or crane cable Shear force, as applied by a shearing machine or scissors, or when materials are torn (see below). Materials are therefore described as having compressive, tensile or shear strength. Elasticity Almost all materials will stretch to some extent when a tensile force is applied to them. This increase in length on loading, compared to the original length of the material, is known as strain. As increased loading continues, a point is reached when the material will no longer return to its original shape and size on removal of the HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 24

Jun. 20

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY load, and permanent deformation has occurred. The material is said to have exceeded its elastic limit or yield stress, beyond which the material is suffering plastic deformation it is being stretched irreversibly. Here are how some common materials shape up Mild steel has little elasticity, but has a high yield stress and is fairly ductile, i.e. has a large range over which it can sustain plastic deformation. It also has a high tensile strength. Cast iron is brittle it has poor elasticity and has no ability to sustain plastic deformation, although its tensile strength is higher than that of concrete. Copper has little elasticity, but is ductile. It has an ultimate tensile strength less than half that of mild steel. Concrete has little elasticity, and the lowest tensile strength of the four, but is extremely strong in compression. Some other important characteristics which must be considered when considering material used in the plumbing trade are: Plasticity The exact opposite of elasticity: a material which does not return to its original shape when deformed Ductility Is the ability of a material to withstand distortion without fracture, an example is a metal such as copper that can be drawn out into a fine wire. Durability The materials ability to resist wear and tear Fusibility The melting point of a material, i.e. when a solid changes to a liquid Malleability The ability of a metal to be worked without fracture; sheet lead is a very malleable metal Temper The degree of hardness in a metal Tenacity A materials ability to resist being pulled apart Thermal The amount a material expands when expansion heated. 2.2 PIPE DESIGN HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 25

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY 2.2.1 Design Considerations The design considerations involve topographic features of terrain, economic parameters, and fluid properties. The essential parameters for network sizing are the projection of residential, commercial, and industrial water demand; per capita water consumption; peak flow factors; minimum and maximum pipe sizes; pipe material; and reliability considerations. Another important design parameter is the selection of an optimal design period of a water distribution system. The water systems are designed for a predecided time horizon generally called design period. For a static population, the system can be designed either for a design period equal to the life of the pipes sharing the maximum cost of the system or for the perpetual existence of the water supply system. On the other hand, for a growing population or water demand, it is always economic to design the system in stages and restrengthen the system after the end of every staging period. The design period should be based on the useful life of the component sharing maximum cost, pattern of the population growth or increase in water demand, and discount rate. The reliability considerations are also important for the design of a water distribution system as there is a trade-off between cost of the system and system A safe supply of potable water is the basic necessity of mankind in the industrialized society; therefore water supply systems are the most important public utility. A colossal amount of money is spent every year around the world for providing or upgrading drinking water facilities. The major share of capital investment in a water supply system goes to the water conveyance and water distribution network. Nearly 80% to 85% of the cost of a water supply project is used in the distribution system; therefore, using rational methods for designing a water distribution system will result in considerable savings. The design of the pipe is based on the provision of EBCS -9,1995 section 3.8.The sizes of the pipes and fittings used in water service shall be such as will provide an adequate rate of water without recourse to wasteful over sizing. The installation shall be sized so that design flow rates given in EBCS-9, 1995 table 3.7 .The pipes and fittings shall also be sized so that the water velocity in any pipe does not exceed those given in table 3.8. The amount of either hot or cold water used in any building is variable, depending on the type of occupancy and time of day. Optimum pipe sizes shall be designed to meet peak demand. 2.2.2 Flow of Appliances, Loading units and Design Flows A demand rate and corresponding loading unit for various appliances is specified in table 3.9 in which the loading values Z are given. HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 26

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY Z=(q/0.25),where q the flow rate of appliances in l/s. The constant is based up on by granting a flow rate of 0.25 l/s a unit load. The probable design flow, Q =0.25 (Z1+Z2+Zn) 2.2.3 Minimum Pressure Minimum fairly constant residual pressure at the point of outlet discharge shall not be less than 0.2Kg/cm for all appliances except for flash valves and special equipment. 2.3 Diameter determination The pipe entering the house usually has an inside diameter of 1 or 1.25 inch. For our case we use 1.25inches.Soon after the main line enter the house, the pipe reduces to 3/4inch.Pipes that carry water to rooms throughout the house have an inside diameter of 1/2inch.Pipes that supply water to each fixture are usually -inch inside diameter to the shut of the valve and then 1/4-inch inside diameter to the fixture. The pipe flow is analyzed by using the continuity equation and the equation of motion. The continuity equation for steady flow in a circular pipe of diameter D is Q=( D2/4)*V, Where V is average velocity of flow, and Q= volumetric rate of flow, called discharge. A water distribution system is the pipe network that distributes water from the source to the consumers. It is the pipeline laid along the streets with connections to residential, commercial, and industrial taps. The flow and pressure in distribution systems are maintained either through gravitational energy gained through the elevation difference between source and supply point or through pumping energy. Sound engineering methods and practices are required to distribute water in desired quantity, pressure, and reliably from the source to the point of supply. The challenge in such designs should be not only to satisfy functional requirements but also to provide economic solutions. The water distribution systems are designed with a number of objectives, which include functional, economic, reliability, water quality preservation, and future growth considerations. Water distribution systems receive water either from single- or multiple-input sources to meet water demand at various withdrawal points. This depends upon the size of the total distribution network, service area, water demand, and availability of water sources to be plugged in with the distribution system. A water distribution system is called a single-input source water system if it receives water from a single water source; on the other hand, the system is defined as a multi-input source system if it receives water from a number of water sources. HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 27

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY The water distribution systems are either branched or looped systems. Branched systems have a tree-like pipe configuration. It is like a tree trunk and branch structure, where the tree trunk feeds the branches and in turn the branches feed sub branches. The water flow path in branched system pipes is unique, thus there is only one path for water to flow from source to the point of supply (tap). The looped systems have pipes that are interconnected throughout the system such that the flow to a demand node can be supplied through several connected pipes. The flow direction in a looped system can change based on spatial or temporal variation in water demand, thus the flow direction in the pipe can vary based on the demand pattern. Hence, unlike the branched network, the flow directions in looped system pipes are not unique. The water distribution design methods based on cost optimization have two approaches: (a) continuous diameter approach (b) discrete diameter approach or commercial diameter approach. In the continuous diameter approach, the pipe links are calculated as continuous variables, and once the solution is obtained, the nearest commercial sizes are adopted. On the other hand, in the discrete diameter approach, commercially available pipe diameters are directly applied in the design methodology. In this project, discrete diameter approach will be introduced for the design of a branched water distribution system. 2.4 Common Code Requirements Here are some commonly required code issues that are applicable virtually nationwide: _ Venting: Plumbing fixtures need venting to work properly. You need to determine whether you need to install a new vent stack or can simply revent the current one. _ Fixture placement: Fixtures cant be placed too close together. This requirement is more critical in the bathroom, where space is already limited. Here are the minimum space requirements for toilets and tubs: 15 inches between the center of the toilet and the side wall or sink; 1 inch between the toilet tank and the wall; 18 inches between the bathtub and other fixtures. _ Pipe sizes: The correct size pipes must be used for drains, supplies, and vents. Check your local code for the minimum requirement in your area. Also, find out what type of pipes are accepted in your area for drain lines and water supplies. _ Plastic pipe connections: PVC is so widely accepted that youre likely to use it for repairing or reworking your existing system. PVC pipe joints must be primed and glued to last. And if you dont prime, the joint will eventually leak! HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 28

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY 2.5 Sanitary Systems 2.5.1 Types of systems There are four types of systems in use today and these are: Primary ventilated stack systems Stub stack and systems using air-admittance valves Ventilated discharge branch systems Secondary modified ventilated stack systems. All these systems can be installed either inside or outside the building. 1. Primary ventilated stack system You are most likely to install this type of system in the majority of domestic dwelling situations. There are limitations to the minimum pipe sizes, maximum lengths of the branch connections and their gradients. These can be summarized as shown in Table below. Pipe size(mm) 32 40 50 100 Max length (m) 1.7 3.0 4.0 6.0 slop 18-80 mm fall per m run 19-90 18-90 18 h mm/m min

Basin Bath shower WC

In this system you should have the appliances grouped closely together. There is some flexibility, however. For example, if you did install a shower with a 50mm waste it could be located up to 4 m away from the stack as opposed to 3 m if using 40 mm pipe. The size of the branch pipes should always be at least the same diameter as the trap. Branch connections The location of a branch pipe in a stack should not cause cross flow into another branch pipe (cross flow happens when two branches are located opposite to each other). Cross flow can be prevented by working on the following details. You might find on some installations that it is easier to run the kitchen sink waste pipe into a gulley rather than pipe to the stack. This is allowed as long as the pipe end finishes between the gratings or sealing plate and the top of the water seal. These branch connection principles also apply to the ventilated discharge branch and secondary ventilated stack systems mentioned a little later. 2. Stub Stack and Systems Using Air-Admittance Valves i. Stub stacks When a group of appliances or a WC on a ground floor is connected directly to an underground drain, a stub stack of 110 mm diameter pipe can be used. Ventilation is necessary if the distance from the HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 29

EHIOPIAN CIVIL SERVICE UNIVERSITY highest appliance connection to the stack to the invert of the drain is in excess of 2 m, or if the distance from the crown of the WC connection to the invert of the drain is in excess of 1.3 m. ii. Use of air-admittance valves An air-admittance valve is a means of adding ventilation to the drainage system, preventing the loss of water seals in traps and consequent release of foul air into the building. Other ventilated stack systems Where the requirements described earlier in the primary ventilated stack system can be met, separate ventilation will not be needed. On some larger domestic properties this is not always possible . The alternative is to install separate ventilation pipe work. This can be done in two ways: ventilating each appliance into a second stack the ventilated discharge branch system directly ventilating the waste stack secondary ventilated stack system. In the secondary ventilated system only the main discharge stack is ventilated. This arrangement will prevent any pressure fluctuations, either negative or positive. Branch ventilation pipes rules The branch vent pipe must not be connected to the discharge stack below the spillover level of the highest fitting served The minimum size of a vent pipe to a single appliance should be 25 mm. If it is longer than a 15 m run or serves more than one appliance, then it is 32 mm minimum. The main venting stack should be at least 75 mm. This also applies to the dry part of the primary vented stack system. General discharge stack requirements An external stack would be terminated and a terminal should be fitted to prevent the possibility of bird nesting. A vent cowl could be fitted where the stack is sited in exposed windy conditions. Traps Traps are mainly manufactured in plastic (polypropylene to BS 3943), although they are also available in copper or brass/chrome plated brass for use on copper pipe work, where a more robust installation is required. Most trap fitting connections are either push-fit or compression-type. Trap specifications Where a trap diameter is 50 mm or above, a trap seal of 50 mm is required. This is because the size of the pipe means it is unlikely to discharge at full bore which is one of the two causes for the loss of trap seal. If the discharge pipe from the trap runs into a gulley or hopper head, a seal of 38 mm is allowed; the gap between the gulley and the pipe HOUSING PROJECT GROUP-2 SEC 5-2 Page 30
