Exercise 1: Substituting values:

Given: 𝐏𝐏 = 262.01 − � 9.79 (ℎ)�

Design the size of the pipe that is connected to Assuming that this is one storey building,
2 Water Closet, 2 Lavatories, 1 Kitchen Sink, 1
Bathtub. The length of the pipe is 5 meters. 𝑷𝑷𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔 = 𝟎𝟎
𝐏𝐏 = 262.01 − � 9.79 (0)�

Required: 𝐏𝐏 = 𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐𝟐. 𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟎

From the table:

1. WSFU
2. Gal/min
3. Static Pressure
4. Pressure Range
5. Service Pipe
6. Branches Pipe

WATER CLOSET = 3 WSFU x 2 = 6

LAVATORY = 1 WSFU x 2 = 2

KITCHEN SINK = 2 WSFU x 1 = 2

The red circle represents the length of the pipe,
BATHTUB = 2 WSFU x 1 = 12 is greater than 5, then we choose 12.

TOTAL WSFU = 12 WSFU The blue circle represents the WSFU, 16 is

greater than 12.
