MODULE 6
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 Systems
291

This lesson is designed to familiarize you to draft 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 layout 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
One of mans essential needs is water. He could live for days without food but
not without water. Water appears in its natural state (liquid) or solid (ice) and gas
(vapor) or steam. It is 830 times heavier than air but is 133 times lighter in its
gaseous state. This can be sourced from: rain water, natural surface water and
underground water.
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.
Hot and cold water is supplied to the buildings by a series of pipes connected
from the source under pressure to the building fixtures thru a water line distribution
system.
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
292

5. Special pipes such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), Aluminum and Stainless
Steel pipes, and CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) pipe
Water main refers to the public sewer system along the streets, or laid
underground where the service to the house 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 for water. A
maximum demand is one factor, or the maximum water 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 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 bolded 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 the nominal size, material and ride.
Kinds of Fittings
293

1. Elbows are used to change direction of a pipeline 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.
6. Nipples are short pieces of pipes threaded on both ends and classified as
close nipple 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.

Know
The plumbing system is important to the designer or draftsman. Although
plumbing plans may be omitted on small residential dwellings, they 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. Amenities as discussed earlier,
when tracing the path of the supply of water
and fixtures fittings, the architectural designer
uses symbols to indicate the distribution system
and the different fixtures. The water distribution
system is shown in an elevation, on plan and on
isometric using the different symbols, hence
this is called a schematic drawing.
In drawing the layout, here are the common
symbols used for cold water line and sanitary
layout.

Like most architectural drawings, plumbing drawings are drawn to a small

scale. It would be unrealistic to draw all fixtures and lines on the drawing paper.
Therefore schematic symbols are used for various plumbing fixtures and lines.
They are used to show the type and location of fixtures, joints values 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 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 thru the water service is measured by the water meter. If water service is
supplied thru 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.

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 thru 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
341

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.
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 to 4 inside diameter.
The Sewage Disposal System
Absence of a good sewage disposal system can result to contamination of
water and 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, and 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.
361
Second Floor
First Floor
The House Drain

The sanitary drain only receives discharges of sanitary and domestic
wastes only while the storm drain receives storm, clear water or surface water
wastes.
363
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
(6) is used for residential dwellings.
365
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.
367
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.

Procedure:
1. Refer from the table on recommended sizes of septic vaults. See if the
number of persons in the household fits in the data for recommended size
of vault.
2. Take down the measurements: width, height and length. Transfer such
measurement on your drawing paper.
3. Draw the outline of the septic vault with your pencil using light guidelines
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 walls
partitions.
4. Indicate also the location of the manhole and the manhole cover. After
drawing the outline re-checked your measurements, write down your
dimensions and you are ready to draw the reinforcing bars. You may draw
your rebars covering the whole area of the vault or you can have a portion
of it only.
374
5. Draw the vertical and horizontal bars for the reinforcement of the septic
vault. The standard distances and size of the rebars are 12mm for
vertical bars and 10mm for horizontal bars. For the slabs on top of it
would be 10mm spaced at 20cm on both ways of the slab.
6. Draw only the portion you wish to show the detail of the reinforcements.
Indicate now 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.
