Junte ¥ devised an ingenious method to circumvent the probler simple process which yields results within %% accuracy of the involved and laborious calculations required. He conceived the ide assigning “fixture loading factors” or “fixture unit weights” to the di ferent kinds of fixtures to represent the degree to which they loaded @ system when used at their maximum assumed frequency. A fixtu unit weight of 10 was arbitrarily assigned by Hunter to a flush valve, all other fixtures were assigned values based on their load-producing effect in relation to the flush valve. All fixtures have been converted. in essence, to One fixture type and the application of the theory of prob- ability is greatly simplified.
