Activity #3

A. SOLVING FOR PRELIMINARY INFORMATION

I. Total Fixture Load
Fixture Unit WSFU Total WSFU
Water Closet (WC) 3 3 9
Shower (SH) 3 2 6
Lavatory (LAV) 3 1 3
TOTAL 18

II. Estimated Water Demand

Using Table 2.1
1.19 liters per second
USE 1.19 liters per second

III. Type of Topmost Fixture

Shower (SH)

IV. Length of Piping

Length of Horizontal Piping = 11.15+4.12+4.02+3.52+2.25+2.01+1.20
= 28.27 m
Length of Vertical Piping = 6.0 m
Total Length of Piping = 28.27+6.0
= 34.27 m

V. Height of Topmost Fixture

6.0m

VI. Average Pressure at Water Main

60 psi
413.685 kPa
Use 414 kPa

VII. Fixture Pressure at Topmost Fixture Pressure

 15 psi
103.421 kPa
Use 104 kPa

B. PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
AVERAGE PRESSURE AT WATER MAIN 60 PSI (414 KPA)
TOTAL FIXTURE LOAD 18 WSFU
ESTIMATED WATER DEMAND 1.19 lps
TYPE OF TOPMOST FIXTURE SHOWER
HEIGHT OF TOPMOST FIXTURE 6.0 m
LENGTH OF PIPING 34.27 m
FIXTURE PRESSURE AT TOPMOST FIXTURE 15 PSI (104 KPA)

C. DETERMINING THE PIPE SIZE

Minimum Fixture Pressure Requirement
A = 104 kPa
Static Head
B = 9.79(6.0)
= 58.74 kPa
Pressure Loss on Water Meter
Using Chart A-1
Water Demand = 1.19 lps
Assume meter size at 20mm
C = 48 kPa
Pressure Available
Pa = Pressure at Water Main – (A+B+C)
= 414 – (104+58.74+48)
= 203.26 kPa
Developed Length (DL)
DL = 28.27+6.0
 = 34.27 m
Length of Fitting = 50% of DL
DL’ = 34.27(0.5)
= 17.14 m
Total Equivalent Length (TEL)
TEL = DL + DL’
= 34.27+17.14
= 51.41 m
Permissible Friction Loss per 100 Meter Length
Pf = (Pa/TEL) * 100
= (203.26/51.41) * 100
= 395.371 kPa/m

USE 25 mm Inside Diameter (1”) Service Pipe Size

For PPR Pipe: Use 32 mm PN10
