A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
1) Introduction.
House drain and sewer are the terminal of soil stack. It is provided to convey the waste water to the
septic tank. Its importance is proper sizing and proper slope to avoid problems like clogging.

2) Activity 1: What I Know Chart.

What I Know What I Learned (Activity 4)

1. Type of house drain receives

the discharges of sanitary and
domestic waste only. The waste
is conveyed to a public sewer or
septic tank by the house sewer.
Storm drain is not allowed in the
sanitary drain.

2. It is that portion of the plumbing

system that receives discharges
of all soil and waste stacks
within the building, and conveys
the same to the house sewer.

3. It is defined as, that portion of

horizontal drainage system,
which starts from the outer face
of the building and terminate at
the main sewer in the street or
septic tank.

B.MAIN LESSON

Combined drain – is a type of

house drain that receives
discharges of sanitary waste as well
as storm drain. This is the oldest
form of house drain when public
sewers are of the combination
design.

Sanitary drain – this type of house

drain receives the discharges of
sanitary and domestic waste only.

SCHEDULE/TIME:

The waste is conveyed to a public

sewer or septic tank by the house
sewer. Storm water is not allowed
in the sanitary drain.

Industrial Drain – is a house drain that receives discharges from industrial equipment that
contain some objectionable acid wastes. Industrial drain that contains acid waste terminates into
a separate drainage basin.

Storm Drain – conveys all storm clear water, or surface water waste except sanitary wastes.
Storm drain terminates into lake, river, dry run or natural basin.

On house drain, the plumbing code provides that:

a. No water closet shall discharge into a drain less than 75mm or 3inches pipe
diameter.
b. No more than two water closets shall discharge into 75mm horizontal soil branch,
house drain or house sewer.

On house drain cleanout, the national plumbing code provides that:

a. The house drain shall be provided with adequate number of cleanouts to prevent
breaking of the floor, in case of drain stoppage.
b. The location of the cleanout depends upon the good judgment of the plumber where
it is readily accessible, in case of line trouble.
c. Any branch of the house drain terminating at a floor drain or fixture, shall be
provided with 100mm diameter pipe, extended at least 2inches above the floor
inserted in a 45 degrees Y branch in the direction of drain flow.
d. The cleanout shall be equipped with threaded screw cover provided with a raised
head that could be removed easily with a wrench.
e. A cleanout extended above the floor, shall not be utilized as a floor drain.
f. The trap of a floor drain shall be placed not more than 50cm below the finished floor
line, to facilitate cleaning in case of trouble.
g. A cleanout shall be installed at every 20m interval distance, and also at the base of
all soil and waste stack.

Improper slope of house drains

House sewer is defined as, that portion of horizontal drainage system, which starts from the outer face
of the building and terminate at the main sewer in the street or septic tank.

Other code defined House Sewer as, that portion of the horizontal drainage system, which starts 90cm
from the outer face of the building. House sewer is sometimes called the Building Sewer.

Sample Problem:
Determine the size of House drain and house sewer 2% slope to served four typical floor plan
(2nd to fifth floor) that will served: 3 water closet(public), 5 urinals (wall mounted, integral trap,
trap arm only), 3 lavatories(single), 4 showers (single stall), and 2 slop sinks, 2 floor drains in
each floor level.

⮚ Find the total fixture unit using Table A.

3 water closet x 6units = 18 units
5 urinals x 3units = 15 units
3 lavatories x 1unit = 3 units
4 showers x 2 units = 8 units
2 slop sink x 3 units = 6 units
2 Floor drain x 2 units = 4 units
Total = 54 units

⮚ Total fixture unit = 54units x 4 = 216 units

⮚ Referring to Table B, under column 2% slope, 150mm pipe could serve 300 fixture
units.

⮚ For 216 fixture units, specify 150mm diameter house drain and house sewer.

To develop habits on thinking about learning, answer the questions below about your learning
experience.
1. What particular part of this topic made you unique?

2. How was the topic able to help you learn?

FAQs

1. What Causes a Clogged Sewer Drain Line?

In most cases, particularly in older houses, tree roots can interfere with the smooth operating of
your sewage system. Attracted to the warmth and moisture of a sewer line, tree roots creep in
through tiny cracks or loose joints in the pipe. Feeding on the plentiful nutrients they find there;
the roots grow and create a blockage in the sewer line. Eventually, toilet paper or other debris
gets snagged on the roots, further preventing water from flowing through the main sewer drain
line.

2. How long will a sewer line last?

How long a sewer will last depend on a number of factors including the pipe material, proximity
to trees, etc. If your sewer line is more than 40 years old, it may need replacing. Even if the
home is newer, its plumbing may be connected to an older sewer pipe. Even if your home is
newer, regular video sewer line inspections are good insurance. By inspecting the pipes for
bulges, joint failures, cracks and tree root intrusion, you can prevent a costly sewer line backup
and extensive repairs.

TEACHER-LED ACTIVITIES
{These are standard instructions for teachers.}
A. If this session happens to be a face-to-face, in-classroom learning session:
1) Collect completed work in the SAS.
2) Allocate your contact time with students to individual or small group mentoring, monitoring, and
student consultations.
3) You may administer summative assessments (quizzes, demonstrations, graded recitation,
presentations, performance tasks) during face-to-face sessions.
4) You may also explore supplementary activities that foster collaboration, provided that social
distancing is observed.
5) You may provide supplementary content via videos, etc.

It is important to remember that students who cannot make it to face-to-face, in-classroom sessions for
health and safety reasons, should not be given lower grades for missing in-class activities and should
be given alternative summative tests.

B. If this session happens to be an at-home learning session for the students:

1) Check and grade collected SAS and other input from students.
2) Schedule phone calls/virtual calls/virtual chats to individual students or small groups of students to
monitor work, provide guidance, answer questions, and check understanding.
