 What Is It

Plumbing Signs, Symbols and Data

Plumbing symbols are used on technical drawings to represent the location of certain
fixtures, such as plumbing faucet, valves, pipes, etc.

It is necessary to indentify these items, on house and building plans, in order to ensure
that all tradesman involve on a project are clear on where pipes, drainage pipes, shut off valves,
and other plumbing objects will be installed.

Alphabet of Lines
Lines are the bases of all drawing. They are used even from simple drawings to the
difficult ones. Practice, exercise and correct use of techniques in the making of lines will give
student experience in technical sketching. Moreover, constant practice will help students
develop skills in making lines and use of pencils. It should be remembered that the basic
requirement for line construction is clarity of line produced.
In practice, the kind of line produced, depends on the hardness of the pencil. For drawing
using pencil, the medium and light lines are more prepared.
There are conventional lines used in drawing. These lines are called alphabet of line and
each line serves a particular purpose. These lines may either be drawn freehand or they may
be drawn mechanically.

 There are several different types of lines used on a print and each has different meaning.
To be able to interpret a print, the reader should have knowledge of these lines. These lines are
called alphabet of lines.

1. Object Line Thick solid line used to show the visible shape of the object.
___________________________
2. Hidden Line. Broken line of medium thickness and used to show the edges and
outlines not visible to the eye.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - -
3. Center Line. Fine, broken line made up of a series of short and long dashes alternately
spaced. It shows the center of circles, arcs, and symmetrical objects and
to aid in dimensioning the parts of the object.
__ _____ __ _____ __ ______ __
4. Extension Line. Fine lines that extend from the object with a slight break between and it
is used to show dimensioning points.

5. Dimension Line Lines used to indicate the measurement of objects. It consists of

three parts: arrowheads, fine line, and number or measurement.
The fine lines have the same thickness or weight as the projection
line. The arrowheads are short heavy strokes (called flares) placed
at the extremities of this fine line. The shape of an arrowhead is like
the point of an ordinary pen. The number or figure is usually
positioned at the middle of the fine line and its axis is perpendicular
to it.

6. Leader Line. Fine, straight line with an arrowhead or round solid dot at one end and
usually drawn at an angle. Points directly to a surface for the purpose of
dimensioning or adding a note. A dot may be used at the end of the
straight line where reference is made to a surface area.

7.Cutting Plane Line. A thick broken line made up of a series of one long and two short dashes
alternately spaced. The arrowheads are placed at right angles to the
cutting plane line. The purpose of this line is to indicate where an
imaginary cut is made through the object. The arrowpoints in the direction
in which the section should be viewed. Letters next to the arrowheads
identify the section in cases where more than one section is shown on
the drawing. These lines are oriented vertically, horizontally, or at the
actual angle at which the part is drawn.

9
7. Section Lines. Series of fine lines-solid or solid and broken-arranged in specific patterns.
They may be shown either straight or curved. When shown straight, they
are usually drawn at a 450 angle. It is used to indicate the imaginary cut
surface referred to by the cutting plane line. To represent various kinds
of materials.

8. Chain Line. Heavy, broken line made up of a series of long and short dashes
alternately spaced. It is used to indicate the location and extent of a
surface.
______________ ____ _________________
9. Short Break Line. Heavy, irregular line drawn freehand used to show a short break to
conserve space on a drawing.

10. Long Break Line. Ruled, light line with freehand zigzags used to show a long break to
conserve space on a drawing.

11. Phantom Line. Light, broken line made up of a series of long and two short dashes used
to show alternate positions of a part; to show relationship of existing part
to new part; and to show machined surfaces.

What’ More
Activity 3: Matching type
I. Directions: Match column A to column B. Write your answer on your activity notebook.

COLUMN A COLUMN B

____1. Long break line A. Very light line used to “block in” an object.
These lines are made so light that little or no
erasing is needed. They serve as base for
darkening in the permanent line.

____2. Dimension line B. Heavy, solid line used to frame in the drawing.

____3. Centerline C. A medium line used to show edges and

contours visible to the eye.

10
____4. Invisible line D. A medium line used to show edges and
contours not visible to the eye.

____5. Visible line E. A light line used as axis of symmetry. Used for
center of circle and arcs. Sometimes the symbol is
shown.

____6. Borderline F. Light thin lines used to show the sizes of the
object. Extension lights start about 1/16” from
visible or object line. The dimension line is broken
near the center for the dimension.

____7. Construction line G. Wavy line draws freehand for the same
purpose as long break
