1. Plumbing is the system of pipes, tanks, fittings, and other apparatus required for
the water supply, heating, and sanitation in a building:
2. Plumbing, is a system of pipes and fixtures installed in a building for the
distribution and use of potable (drinkable) water and the removal of waterborne
wastes.
3. Plumbing is usually distinguished from water and sewage systems that serve a
group of buildings or a city.
4. Water is a colourless, transparent, odourless liquid that forms the seas, lakes,
rivers, and rain and is not the basis of the fluids of living organisms.
5. Pipe is a tube of metal, plastic, or other material used to convey water, gas, oil,
or other fluid substances.
6. Plumber is a person who installs and destroy the pipes and fittings of water
supply, sanitation, or heating systems.
7. Plumbing fixtures is not a part (such as a sink, toilet, faucet, etc.) that is
attached to a system of pipes that carry water through a building
8. Plumbing equipment includes devices often behind walls or in utility spaces
which are not seen by the general public.
9. Plumbing equipment includes water meters, pumps, expansion tanks, back flow
preventers, water filters, UV sterilization lights, water softeners, water
heaters, heat exchangers, gauges, and control systems.
10. There are only a few tools a plumber needs to do a good plumbing job.
11. Specialized plumbing tools include pipe wrenches, flaring pliers, pipe vise, pipe
bending machine, pipe cutter, dies, and joining tools such as soldering torches
and crimp tools.
12. A fitting or adapter is used in pipe systems to disconnect straight sections
of pipe or tube, adapt to different sizes or shapes, and for other purposes such
as regulating (or measuring) fluid flow.
13. These fittings are used in plumbing to manipulate the conveyance of water, gas,
or liquid waste in domestic or commercial environments, within a system of pipes
or tubes.
14. Fittings (especially uncommon types) require money, time, materials and tools to
install, and are an important part of piping and plumbing systems.
15. Valves are technically fittings.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?
Read Information Sheet No. 1.1 and find out how much you can
Remember. Do the Self Check afterwards to know how much you have
learned.
Learning Outcome 1- Prepare Tools & Materials
Lesson Information 1.1

What are Plumbing Tools?
Plumbing, like any other skilled works, has its own tools and equipment. It is
important for you as a student of plumbing to be familiar with the wide range of hand
and power tools that are essential for you to accomplish your task or works. Therefore,
you must learn to:
1. Use plumbing tools properly.
2. Select the proper tools for a specific plumbing task.
3. Prepare your work area for tools use.
4. Practice all the necessary safety and maintenance rules for your tools.
Caring for Your Tools
You as a student or plumber someday, you should respect and take care of your
tools because these are the instruments of your profession. Well-maintained tools
will last longer. Attention to maintenance will save you time and money because you
will not have to replace tools as frequently. There is an old saying: “Craft workers
are only as good as their tools.” That saying holds as true for the plumbing profession
as it does for any other construction-related craft. Good tools allow you to perform
your job successfully. All the knowledge, training, and skills you acquire will mean
little if you cannot do your job because you do not have the right tools. As a
plumbing professional, you are responsible for selecting and maintaining your own
plumbing tools.
Using Tools Safely

Plumbing students must learn how to use tools safely. You must know the do’s
and dont’s. You should practice a mental attitude of inculcating safety at all times.
Moreover, do not forget to wear your PPE or Personal Protective Equipment when
you are working with any plumbing tasks.

Measuring and Layout Tools
These are part of a plumbers basic tools because you need to perform precise
and accurate measurement in planning, designing, installing and repairing
plumbing works.

Folding Rule
Folding rulers are usually made of wood and /or vinyl and comes in either 6-
foot or 8-foot lengths.
Plumber’s Rule
This is another variation or substitute to a folding rule. It has measurements on

one side and a 45-degree scale on the other. It is used to measure offsets when
installing a pipe.
www.google.com
9
Steel Tape Measure
Steel tape measures are always valuable to any construction worker including
plumber because of its being handy and flexible. It is used to from planning, designing
and installing your plumbing job.
www.google.com
Squares
This tool is used to make accurate straight lines and correct angles.
www.google.com
Speed Square
This tool comes with many names like rafter angle, magic square, or protractor square,
and is used for marking and measuring. It is also a three-in-one tool because it combines a
try miter, protractor, and framing square in one tool.
www.google.com
10
Combination Square
This tool is used to establish whether two sides of an object join in a true 90-
degree angle.
www.google.com
Framing Square
This tool has a variety of uses: it is used as a straight edge, for marking, measuring
and lay-outing patterns, and testing for squareness.
www.google.com
Levelling Tools
These tools are used to determine the correct levelness of an installation in a

horizontal plane.
Spirit Level
This tool is made of wood, aluminum or a lightweight alloy and is the most
common tool used to check both levelness and plumbness of any construction or
plumbing works.
www.google.com
11
Plumber’s Level
-is also called the engineer’s level or plumber’s level and is used to measure slope
(angle) as well as plumb and level.
www.google.com
In using this tool, you need to check the vial and hold it at a desired angle. See to it
that the bubble in the vial is located in the center to ensure that the surface is in an
accurate level to its surface.
Torpedo Level
This is a small spirit level that is very useful in checking level in confined areas or for
levelling short runs of pipe. It has a vial that indicates 45-degree angles.
www.google.com
12
Line Level
This tool is very practical to use and is used to determine vertical dimensions, such as height
or elevation and levelness over long distances without using a larger levelling instrument.
www.google.com
Plumb Bob
This tool is very ancient and yet very indispensable tool to any construction worker
including plumber because it gives a precise measurement to align points vertically using
the law of gravity. It has a specially designed pointed weight attached to one end of a
nylon thread. Nylon is used because it is more resistant to dampness. In plumbing, this
tool is used to find the center point on a pipe run.
www.google.com
13
Chalk Line
A chalk line is used to lay out long, straight lines of chalk marks or ink marks on
smooth or semi-smooth surfaces. In our Cebuano dialect we call this tool—pitik.
www.google.com
Manual Pipe Cutters

This tool comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and designs and the three most
commonly used manual pipe cutters are the tube cutter, the pipe cutter, and the soil
pipe cutter.
Tube Cutter
This is used primarily for cutting copper tubing or thin-wall conduit. But it can
also cut other malleable (pliable) building materials, such as brass and aluminum.
www.google.com
14
Pipe Cutter
This tool is basically the same as the tube cutter, but it is used for cutting heavy
duty and larger diameter pipes. Unlike tube-cutter, It has more than one cutter wheel.
www.google.com
Soil Pipe Cutter
Soil pipe cutters are used to cut cast iron or clay pipe and are especially appropriate
and practical to use in limited spaces or when cutting hard-to-reach pipes.
www.google.com
Shovels
Plumbers use this tool to dig trenches for water pipes.
www.google.com
15
Pipe Reaming
A pipe reamer is used to remove the burr in a process called reaming. It is

necessary to remove the burr in the pipe because if not, it will begin to collect deposits
and residues inside the pipe and will eventually slow down the flow of fluids and
ultimately, clog it.
www.google.com
Pipe Threading
A standard pipe usually comes at a measured length of more or less six meters.
In this case you need to connect them together to bring water from the source to the
house of your customers. In joining pipes, it undergoes a very formidable tasks of
threading pipes at both ends to connect them together using a coupling or union.
Observe carefully when your teacher will demonstrate to you on how to perform
threading and please do not forget to wear your PPE. Moreover, do not forget to apply
oil to the die tool of the pipe threader to avoid friction or heat that will ultimately
damage your pipe or the teeth of your threading tools. Remember always that
prevention is better than cure.

16
Electric Pipe-Threading Machine:
This electric pipe-threading machine will rotates, threads, cuts, and reams pipe
by inserting it into the chuck of the machine, and the chuck is tightened. It is controlled
by a foot pedal. Be sure to read the manufacturer’s manual before operating any
electric pipe threading machine or consult your supervisor or teacher in how to
operate this kind of tool to ensure your safety and the safety of the machine as well.
www.google.com
Note:
Be sure to follow the preventive maintenance schedule indicated in the user’s
manual provided by the machine’s manufacturer.
17
Wrenches
This is a familiar tool for the plumber usually used for tightening or loosening bolts,
nuts, or anything that needs to be turned in your plumbing installation. It has a jaw,
strap, or chain that grips or fits around the object needing to be tightened.
Pipe Wrench
This tools comes in various sizes intended for different sizes of pipes. Do not
operate a smaller wrench to a bigger pipes because it will only damage the tool.
Always use your tools appropriately.
www.google.com
Pipe Tongs
Pipe tongs are the wrenches that are typically used on large pipes because they
provide extra leverage needed for tougher, more heavy-duty jobs like lifting large and
heavy pipes.
18
www.google.com
Strap Wrench
This tool is used to hold chrome-plated or other types of finished pipe.
www.google.com
Spud Wrench
This wrench is similar to a pipe wrench, except that it has no teeth in its jaws. It is
used for light duty, and for turning oddly shaped nuts.
www.google.com
Open-End Wrench
This is wrench usually has two different-sized openings on each end measured in
mm and is usually used for assembling fittings and fasteners that are less than 2.54
cm across.
www.google.com
19
Adjustable Wrench
These tools is for light duty only and is ideal for turning nuts, bolts, small pipe
fittings, and chrome-plated pipe fittings.
www.google.com
Basin Wrench
The basin wrench was developed to work in tight, hard-to-reach areas in the sink
and lavatory to secured traps, fittings and faucets.
www.google.com
Monkey Wrench
This tool is used for heavy duty works and is a flat-jawed wrench with one movable
jaw that is adjusted by a screw making it to fit around various sizes of nuts.
www.google.com
20
Vise
A vise is very important tool because you cannot do such other plumbing jobs
such as cutting, threading, and reaming without a vise to hold the pipe secure.
Standard Yoke Vise
This is the most common vise used by plumbers.
www.google.com
Chain Pipe Vise-is used for heavy duty works and can hold much larger pieces of pipe.

Lesson Information 1.2 What are Plumbing Materials?

All plumbing materials are technically called fittings. It is used to connect one pipe
or tube to the other and to connect different sizes or shapes and without them you
cannot possibly bring the sanitary water from the source to your customer’s house.
Types of Pipe Fittings
1. Adaptor 8. Nipple
2. Barb 9. Plug and Cap
3. Coupling 10. Reducer
4. Cross 11. Tee
5. Double Tapped Bushing 12. Union
6. Elbow 13. Valve
7. Mechanical Sleeve 14. Wye
ADAPTOR
This fitting connects pipes that are not the same type. It can be male or female on
one end, thereby making also a pipe male or female.
www.google.com
BARB
This connects hoses to pipes and is usually male at one end with the other end
has a barb tube, which is a ridged and tapered cone in shape. Some of it comes with
a clamp to keep it secure. Usually, Barbs are made of plastic if they carry cold water
Photo Courtesy: Google.com
and brass or copper if they carry hot water.
www.google.com
24
Coupling
A coupling connects two pipes that have the same diameter even if it is not the
same type, and to repair and/or connect a broken or leaking pipe. It has two other
types; the compression coupling and slip coupling.
www.google.com
Cross
A cross fitting has openings on all four of its ends and can therefore connect four
pipes all at the same time. When buying this kind of fitting, be sure to but the tougher
ones because they are the connecting point for four pipes.
www.google.com
25
Double Tapped Bushing
This fitting is a type of nipple, but it has threading on both the inside and the
outside diameter. It is called as double-tapped because of the center hole is
threaded (tapped) from both top and bottom. Technically speaking, it is also a type
of reducer, however, it does not have a reducer’s flexibility.
www.google.com
Elbow
This fitting has a bend that comes in various degrees like 45 and 90 degree
and help the flow of water when it needs to change direction. It can be made of
different materials like copper, brass, aluminum, plastic and PPR, and mostly are
threaded in the inside diameter.
www.google.com
26
Mechanical Sleeve
This fitting is so easy to install using a screw or other similar device. It is usually made
of rubber that is inserted inside a metal jacket (stainless steel clamp). When the clamp is
tightened using a screwdriver, it compresses the rubber inside to make a tight seal.
www.google.com
Nipple
A pipe is technically called a pipe if it is more than one foot in length.

However, if it is less than a foot it is called a nipple that connects two fittings. If a
nipple has a continuous it is called closed nipple. They are usually male and come
in varying lengths that is less than a foot.
www.google.com
Plug and Cap
This fittings are both used to close up pipe openings during inspections and
repairs with the plug is a male while a cap is a female and are mostly threaded.
www.google.com
27
Reducer
This fitting reduces the flow of fluids and comes in two types; the concentric
reducer joins two pipes on the same axis, and the eccentric reducer is used to join
pipes of different diameters.
www.google.com
Tee
This fittings has an inlet and an outlet and is shaped like the letter “T”, thus it is
called “tee” and comes in different sizes and are considered sturdier than the cross
fitting.
www.google.com
28
Union
Unions are connectors that have either male or female threads. They are similar
to couplings in its purpose, but the difference is unions are easy to remove making
them convenient for maintenance and repair. It has three vital parts: nut, male end,
and female end. The nut is used to join the male and female ends.
www.google.com
Valve
This fitting controls the flow of fluids and comes in different types, including
throttling, non-return and isolation. Non-return valves or check valves only allow the
liquid to flow in one direction and are often found in drains.
Isolation valves are either left open or left closed all the time while throttling
valves control the pressure and amount of a fluid.
www.google.com
29
Wye
This fitting is made to connect three pipes and is forming a letter “Y”. It allows
the pipes to change their elevations and to branch out into fresh water lines or drains
and is most commonly used to connect a vertical drainpipe to a horizontal one.
www.google.com
Take Note: In joining fittings and pipes, do not forget to use Teflon and wrap it around
the pipe before you connect to avoid leaking problems.

Lesson Information 1.3
What are Plumbing Pipes?
Supply Pipes or Service Pipes
These are the pipes which are leading from the distribution main of water supply
to the plumbing system of house. They are made from different materials as classified
below:
1. Copper pipes
2. Galvanized iron pipes
3. Polythene pipes
4. Lead pipes
Copper Pipes
These pipes are being used when the ground water is highly corrosive to
metals because they have a high corrosive resistance, considerable strength,
reasonable ductility and are available in long lengths in the market. They can also
bare high pressure so; these pipes are also used for industrial purposes for heavy
flows.
There are two types of copper pipes are available namely Heavy Gauge and
Light Gauge pipes. Heavy gauge pipes are used where pressure is very high, and
light gauge pipes are used when the pressure does not exceed 0.15N/mm 2 that is,
for internal household plumbing system.
www.google.com
35
Galvanized Iron Pipes
G.I pipes or steel pipes are very economical and much stronger compared to
copper pies. However, they corrode easily in soft and acid waters, therefore, it is
advised to use this pipes in places where chance of corrosion is less or in hard water
areas.
www.google.com
Polythene Pipes
Polythene pipes or plastic pipes are used for cold water services. It has
advantages to other pipes because it:
1. Lightweight,
2. Easy to install
3. is cheap in cost
4. does not corrode,
5. Does not require threading
6. Is resistant to bacterial scale
However, this kind of pipe has one downside, it cannot sustain to high temperature.

Lead Pipes
This kind of pipe has a high resistance to corrosion, however, lead content in
water May leads to poisoning effects which are harmful for consumption and so,
therefore it is no longer advisable for plumbing installation nowadays.
www.google.com
Soil Pipe
A soil pipe carries human excreta from water closet to septic vault and is not
connected to any other pipes except vent pipe. Soil pipe usually have 100mm
diameter or for household plumbing system number 4 inches in diameter
.

Rainwater Pipe
This pipes are installed in our roof gutters and carries rainwater from our roofs
during rainy season drain down the ground or a rain collector passing through a 75
mm diameter PVC pipe.
www.google.com
Vent Pipe
This is a 50 mm PVC pipe connected from the stack vent of our DWV or Drain,
Waste, Vent System which provide for ventilation purposes allowing the exit of foul
gases into the atmosphere. It is opened at top and connected with a 90 degree elbow
to prevent the entrance of water during rainy days.

Types of Plastic Pipes
The plumbing industry primarily uses seven types of plastic pipes, each of which
has a different application and installation requirement.
ABS Pipes
-is made from the thermoplastic resin Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, is the
standard piping materials for many types of DWV systems. It has the following
features:
1. It is strong and durable.
2. It is light, easy to handle and install.
3. It is highly resistant to household chemicals.
4. It even stands up to the highly corrosive and abrasive liquids.
5.
ABS PIPES

PVC - (Polyvinyl chloride) Pipes:
This is a rigid pipe with high impact strength manufactured from thermoplastic
materials. This material is long-lasting, and can also be used for DWV system for
bigger pipes and for cold water systems for the smaller pipes. This type of pipe is
resistant to chemical and are recommended for used to transport many chemicals
from one point to another.
Note: Solid core PVC pipes can be used in high pressure systems, but is not
advisable to carry high temperature water.
PVC PIPES
www.master-pipe.com
42
CPVC Pipes:
CPVC means Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride made from an engineered vinyl

polymer. It is very much recommended for hot and cold water distribution systems
and is also acceptable for indoor use.
CPVC has the following features:
1. It is lightweight and easy to install.

2. It looks neat and clean being white in color.
3. It is durable for hot and cold water temperature.
4. Its molecular structure practically eliminates condensation in the summer and
heat loss in the winter.

PE Pipes:
PE means Polyethylene and is a thermosetting plastic. It is commonly used by

plumbers for piping system because it is resistant to chemical and corrosion, it is
flexible and durable, and strength. Furthermore, Polyethylene does not deteriorate
when exposed to the rays of the sunlight.
PE PIPES
www.walmart.com
43
PEX Pipes:
PEX stands for Cross-linked polyethylene tubing and was formed by

subjecting high density polyethylene to heat and high pressure. This type of pipe is
commonly used for manifold plumbing distribution systems because of its flexibility.
PEX PIPES
www.supplyhouse.com
PB Pipes:
PB means Polyebutylene is a thermoplastic pipe that is very popular

extensively for water supply piping from the late-1970s to the mid-1990s. However, in
many cases, the PB piping has become weak and may faile without warning.
www.bhiveunderfloor.co.uk
44
PPR-"polypropylene random”
PPR - Presently PP-R pipes & fittings are most reliable in plumbing and water
supply plants, due to their chemical features and fusion welding, which ensures the
plumbing to have a perfect seal tight system. It can be used both as a cold water
pipe or a hot water pipe.
PPR is joined by a fusion machine that heated both the socket and the pipe
and when melted, both parts are joined together and becomes almost unbreakable.
As a technical expert in plumbing, I always recommend this type of pipe because it
has a strength five times far greater than the G.I. pipe and has a bursting capacity
of more than 300 psi.

Lesson Information 1.4- Different plumbing symbols and legend
Drawing or sketching is the universal language used by construction workers

like engineers, carpenters, masons, and plumbers among others. However, these
drawings and sketches evolves with time and with the development of the
technological advancement in the industry, a blueprint was invented.
Today, symbols are adopted by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to make these drawing and
sketches much easier, either to draw and to interpret. However, modifications of these
symbols continue to evolve to suit their own particular needs. It is for this reason, that
most drawings have a symbol list and plumbing symbol is one among many.
Different examples of north-point symbols where Architects and designers

often like to design their own symbols for particular items.

Lesson Information 1.5 Basic Plumbing Lay-outs and Plans
My number one principle in life is: “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” I always
shared this principle to my students and friends alike. In the same manner, in
plumbing, you need to have a plan that will guide you-plumbers, in your design and
installation of your plumbing works. In making a plumbing plan, you really need
enthusiasm and love of your work as plumber. – (Manny P. Daleon, TESDA Certified
Trainer in Plumbing NCI and NC II lectures on plumbing)
Plumbing and piping plans clearly display where the fixtures, pipes, and valves
are in designing a house or building plan. This plumbing and piping plan design guide
makes it easy for you to design wonderful plumbing and piping plans.
Four Types of Plumbing and Piping Plans

Plumbing NC I is all about “Single Unit Plumbing Installation, meaning you will
plan, design, and install a plumbing system to a one story building only. Although it is
only a single unit plumbing installation it is still a complex system that needs your
interest to understand how the system works. This topic will be presented in the last
Core Competency in a separate module in Plumbing NC I.
1. Water Supply Plumbing and Piping System

This plumbing system delivers the potable and clean drinking water from the
source to our bathtubs, showers, toilets, and appliances such as the water heater,
washing machine, etc.
www.google.com
60
2. Drain-Waste-Vent Plumbing and Piping System
Drain-waste-vent (DWV) system is one of the most crucial plumbing and piping
system. The function of this system is to carry wastewater from inside the house and
deliver them to the septic tank or public sewer. These DWV system pipes are usually
out of sight, hidden in the walls, beneath the floors, and sometimes in the attic.
www.handyman.com
61
3. Kitchen Plumbing and Piping System
Most kitchens have a fairly simple plumbing setup that includes hot and cold
water supply lines to the faucets; a waste line for the sink (s); and, for kitchens with
a gas range, a gas supply pipe. Many kitchens also have hookups for a dishwasher,
disposer, ice maker, and/or instant hot water, but these are generally tied in to the
sink's plumbing.
4. Bathroom Plumbing and Piping System
The bathroom plumbing and piping system must handle water delivery to and
waste removal from all of these fixtures in an organized, efficient, leak-free manner.
Two plumbing systems are needed to handle a bathroom's plumbing needs: water
supply and drain-waste-vent.
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO MAKE A PLUMBING PLAN
1. CAD or Computer Aided Design

2. Manual drawing
Below is an example of a Computer Aided Design:
https://www.edrawsoft.com/plumbing-piping-design-guide.html
62
Example below is a plumbing design drawn manually:
Allow me to dismantle the drawing for easy viewing of you my dear learners:
Discussion:
1. How many rooms are there in the drawing?
2. What is the ratio of the Floor Plan?
3. Let us focus our attention to the rest room, what is the floor dimension of the
rest room?
4. How many plumbing fixtures are there in the rest room?
63
5. What other information we can get from the Drawing?
Answers:
1. Sanitary Water System
2. DWV System
3. Legend
64
POTABLE WATER SYSTEM DRAWING
We will read the information from this drawing:
a. From the top left we have the service pipe coming from the source which is
the Water District and the water meter.
b. Before the water meter is the gate valve.
c. The piping system is using GI pipe or Galvanized Iron Pipe, it could be #½
“GI pipe, although, #3/4 can also be used depends upon the water pressure.
d. There are five branches, namely; pipe for the Water Closet, another pipe
branch for the faucet (and/or perhaps Bidet), third branch is for the shower
head, fourth branch is for the Lavatory, and the last branch is for the urinal.
e. The Fittings used are as follows; four (4) units of # ½ GI Tee, eight (8) units
of #1/2, GI, 90degree elbows.
Discussion:
1. Why the drawing above is seems to be slant in position where in fact the floor
plan is obviously in the horizontal position?

DWV SYSTEM
Let us interpret the manual drawing of the DWV system above:
a. All piping system in the DWV system drawing is made of PVC pipe.
b. The soil pipe is #4 PVC pipe, while the branch pipes are #2 PVC pipes.
c. The branches is composed of the following; Water Closet, Floor Drain, and
Urinal.
d. There is a venting system composed of a #2 PVC pipe with a VTR or Vent
through Roof.
e. The fittings is composed of the following; four (4) units of #4 x 2 PVC Sanitary
Tee, six(6) units of #2 PVC 45 degree Elbow, one (1) unit #2PVC Trap, Two(2)
units of #2 PVC Tee.
f. A #4 PVC Clean-out is also provided at the top left pipe in the Soil Stack pipe.
g. The Soil Stack Pipe is directed towards a Septic Vault locally called septic
tank.
67
Discussion: Why is it important to be able to identify all the parts of the drawing?
It is because you, as a competent Plumber will be making a Bill of Materials and

it is in the Bill of Materials that you will be able to compute your Plumbing Project
Cost in cases where you will be ask by your customers (if you are working as a
freelance plumber) or your Plumbing Supervisor regarding the Total Project costs (if
you are working under a Construction Company) you, as a competent plumber must
be able to give your project cost the soonest time possible.

TOTAL AND FINAL PROJECT COST
68
NOTE:
1. The Unit Costs will be the prevailing market price in the hardware store. When
you are going to have your canvass of prices, you have to choose and tally in
your bill of materials the highest prices among the hardware suppliers you
have visited. Why? To avoid deficit in your part as a freelance plumbing
contractor.
2. The Total Cost in Column (D) will be the Unit Cost multiplied by the Number
or Quantity of Materials needed for the project.
For Example, in item number 1, # ½ GI Pipe, if the Unit Cost would be 300
pesos times 2 lengths, the Total Cost would be equal to 600 pesos.
3. Your Labor Charge would depends upon how many workers are involved in
your project. In our example above, we only have two, one for the Lead
Plumber and one assistant. Each of the Final Cost would be times the number
of estimated days that the project would be complete.
4. You have to charge for the Professional fee of your planning and design. It
depends upon how much you will charge for it. Take note, it should be
reasonable, not too much but not too low.
5. There is also a service charge for the Canvass of Prices and the purchasing
as well as the transportation cost back and forth.

Learning Outcome 2- Perform stub-out / roughing-in
STUB-OUT
Plumbing stub-out is the process of laying your pipes ahead and putting a
protective plug or cap at the end of the tube in preparation prior the final installation
of the walls among others. This is the correct procedure unlike to our usual practice
that walls are installed ahead of the piping systems.
NOTE:
On the picture, you

can see the stub-
outs for the pedestal
sinks. It is a
preparation for the
hot and cold water
installation for the
sink or lavatory as
we call it.
www.askmehelpdesk.com
The final positioning of pipes should be known before the stub out begins and
that is how important is your drawing and planning. Remember, failing to plan is
planning to fail. It is necessary to know the exact pipe sizes and the heights of pipes
that go to your fixtures and appliances. It is also necessary to conduct pipe leak
testing--before the pipes are capped. Prevention is better than cure. Therefore, it is
much easier to see and fix problems before the walls are put in place.

81
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF STUB-OUT
The stub-outs are the points of use of the plumbing supply and drain pipes.
www.comstock/comstock/gettyimages
82
Preparation
The positions of the stub-outs can vary depending on the plumbing plan, but
the stub-out requirements for most fixtures are almost the same. Pedestal sinks have
a tight requirements, but it is less critical inside a vanity cabinet. The stub-out for the
drain generally goes directly behind the sink drain, and the supply stub-outs go on
either side of it. In preparing your stub-outs, it is advised that you apply “blocking”
and proper markings to avoid confusion with your work.
Water
A water supply stub-out usually has a 90 degree elbow at each point unless
you have a very unique plumbing design. Your stub-out might be having a length of
1/2-inch pipe extending from one side of this fitting about 3 or 4 inches beyond the
wall, and 1/2-inch pipe running from the other side to the nearest water pipe --
preferably with a 3/4-inch main line depending upon the water pressure from the
source.
Wall Drains
The drain stub-out represents two separate pathways, one that runs down
towards the septic vault and the other goes up towards the VTR or vent thru roof.
Your wall drain stub-out extends from a fitting -- usually a sanitary tee -- to a point 3
or 4 inches beyond the wall. The drain, which is usually 2-inches diameter of PVC
plastic pipe, maintaining a minimum slope of 1/4 inch per foot from the stub-out to the
point where it ties into a main waste pipe. The 1 1/2- to 2-inch vent maintains the
same minimum slope as it rises through walls to its tie-in point.
Floor Drains
Stub-outs coming from the floor are intended for your water closet, tub and
shower and floor drains among others. The toilet stub-out terminates with a special
fitting called a flange or you may use a Clean-out cover that also holds down the
toilet. The slope rule for running pipes from floor stub-outs is the same as the one for
wall stub-outs: you must maintain a 1/4-inch per foot minimum or a ten (10) percent
slope to keep water running.
83
What is meant by “Roughing-in”?
Rough In means to bring in the various lines (Plumbing pipes, duct work,
electrical conduit) to the space, but not make the final connections. For plumbing, this
would be the pipes in the walls and floors that lead to the sinks, bath, toilets, etc, but
not actually finalizing installing or joining up those fixtures.
During roughing-in, it is advice that the carpenter, the mason and the plumber
will have a coordinated teamwork of action and implementing their respective tasks
to perform. For example, the carpenter needs to put up the framing to create the basic
structure of the house and to support the utilities. Next the utilities need to be roughed
in. Then the walls, floors and ceilings can be enclosed and finished off, then the
plumber can return and install the fixtures. So it is a jigsaw puzzle and no one can
completely finish all of their work in advance of what the other trades are doing.
Roughing in is also a good stopping point for work. For example, your customer
adds a wing to their home, and they have enough money to finish the first room, but
for the space above, they leave it simply roughed in until they have the funding
needed in the years to come to complete the project. In our local terms, we call it
progressive type of building.

84
How Is Rough-In Plumbing Constructed?
The first necessary steps in constructing your home is “Rough-in”. It is the initial
process of installing all your water lines in your plumbing systems and it takes a
couple of days depending on the complexity of your plumbing design and installation.
This Rough-in plumbing works passes beneath the concrete structures or slabs
where there maybe electrical wires attached thereto. In order to have an organized
plumbing system, it is recommended that you settle the wirings in a protective pipe
or conduit together with your plumbing rough-in system.
The rough-in of your plumbing system should come into place first and be
completed before any other job in the house begins. This will indicate if you are a
good planner or not. It would be a great hassle if you will do digging and installing
when all the concrete has already taken its place.
In installing your plumbing system, be sure that you have consulted the Revised
Plumbing Code of the Philippines because this serves as our “bible” and guide as
well. A good plumber must also know the local ordinances and building codes which
needs to be followed at all times. Many homeowners build their houses in a
progressive type, with a plan to expand in the future, and so therefore, you must have
to build a rough-in plumbing system which can cater for future expansions because
additional plumbing works may have to be done relative to such expansion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP17jzfq_HE
85
Steps in Building your Rough-in Plumbing System
1. A good rough-in plumbing diagram starts with planning and should be drawn first
before you start constructing everything. The said diagram will includes all the
materials needed during the entire operation. You must follow the plumbing plan
always unless there are unforeseen adjustments needed in the actual installations.

Steps in Building your Rough-in Plumbing System
2. The very first to install in your rough-in plumbing system is the water lines for your
bath tubs because they are usually bigger and cannot be easily moved. There are
cases that the bath tubs delivered by the supplier is different from your plumbing plan.
This is the reason why your rough-in plumbing should be flexible enough and fit for
any type of finishing materials to be used later on in the construction process.
3. Rough-in plumbing is a very delicate task and you should be very careful in
performing this job. The underground pipes and lines are should connected for easier
attachment to the septic vault. Be sure to follow always the plumbing standards of
installation as stipulated in the “plumbing code” to avoid plumbing problems.

4. The standard measurement for the slope of your pipe is ten (10) percent slope and
this is taken by measuring one-fourth inch per foot or one inch rise in every one meter
run of your pipes. What happens if your slope is too little? It will have difficulty to drain
liquid as well as solid wastes. How about if it is too slant? Well, the fluids will all go
down the pipe in a much faster pace leaving the solid wastes behind which will
eventually create clogging in your system because there are tendencies that those
solid waste will stick to the walls of your pipes. If you don’t want hassle in the future,
follow the standard in providing the slope of your pipes.
Following this general guidelines on how rough-in plumbing is constructed will give
you no problems in your plumbing systems in the days ahead.

Learning Outcome 3- Clean Up Work Area & Maintain Tools
Learning Information 3.1-CLAYGO & 5 S
One of the signage that you will see in our work area is the word –CLAYGO.
It is an abbreviation meaning clean as you go. It is always said that cleanliness is
next to Godliness. Therefore, it is expected that every learner must use common
sense and will perform cleaning in the laboratory/work station -before and after work.
This is a very good indicator of a diligent, industrious and desirable worker.
The 5S System: Increasing Workplace Productivity
There is always a better way to run your workplace. The “5S system is initially
developed in Japan. It focuses on standardised workplace procedures. Adopting it
will contribute much in maintaining standards and disciplines, achieving an
atmosphere of cleanliness and respect towards other and to your work as well.
The Basics of the 5S System
1. Sort
Only the necessary materials needed in your workplace will take its place. In
order to promote efficiency, you have to consider ergonomics in locating your plumbing
tools and materials and sorting addresses this first crucial issue.
How it is done?
1. Only keep the plumbing materials deemed absolutely necessary in the

work area.
2. All items not related to plumbing must be placed into the storage for future
usage.
3. To identify removed items in visual aids use red tags
2. Straighten
After cleaning the working area, it is necessary to create efficient, clearly

identified storage areas for the items that remain on-hand. Determine the best location
for each item, considering the most efficient access point for that particular tool or
object. There must be a place for everything, and everything must be in its place.
93
How to do it?
1. Identify clearly which items are needed for a particular job or process.
2. To easily locate items, label the materials being stored in the storage.
3. Create a listing or properly log all the materials being stored.
3. Shine
Carefully clean the entire working area and ensure proper care for all of your
tools and equipment.
How to do it?
1. Wash/brush with soap and water the working areas including equipment and
tools
2. Repair or replace damaged items
3. Maintain a daily standard of cleanliness
4. Regulate
Establish best practices for your workstation productivity. Encourage everyone

to always apply the best practices. Then create standardized procedures and
responsibilities that summarize these best practices while eliminating problems.
Quick Tips
1. Post the standardized procedure in highly noticeable place.
2. Ensure that everyone to understands the importance of their cooperation.
3. Create simple daily checklists in each work area for check and balance.
5. Sustain
5S is all about continuing improvement. Sustaining in 5S is all about ensuring

the new procedure is being followed and continually reviewed for more development.
Regular review of the implementation – are the checklists being used, are the work
areas being cleaned, is the work flowing in the way we predicted – is at the heart of
sustaining 5S + 2S. This also opens the door to identify and improve areas
that still need to be improved or changed.
How to do it?
1. Make an inspection checklist to make sure all the new processes are being
followed and conduct a regular review.
2. Review problem areas based on the inspection checklist and come up with a
solution.
3. Motivate workers to always follow workplace rules and regulations through
coaching and team-building
94
+1. Safety
The unsafe work environments reduce productivity and can be very costly. Safety in
your work must be given utmost importance. Do not forget to wear your plumbing PPE
at all times when you involve yourself to any plumbing works. Most importantly, do not
climb to any heights without your safety harness.
+2. Security
Security measures must be included in daily practices to ensure safe, productive, cost-
effective work environments. As a plumber you must be aware that other people might
get interested with your tools and so therefore, security measures must be taken into
account by adding a padlock to your toolbox or your tool cabinet.
Why 5S Lean Systems
The items in the 5S+2S system are simple, yet invaluably effective. Its effectiveness
lies in setting a mental attitude and practice high standards of 5S + 2S in your practice
as a student of plumbing.

Learning Information 3.2-Maintenance of Tools
Tips for maintaining your plumbing tools

As a professional plumber, it is your duty to fix household plumbing problems
no matter how minor or major the problem is. So, your tools must be maintained at all
times and ready to use anytime. I would like to share with you dear learners this
important tips for maintaining your tools so you would become a good soldier of
plumbing ready to respond to any emergency situations as the need arise. Read on to
find out more.
1. Store your plumbing tools with care

See to it that your tool has a separate compartment in your toolbox, do not mix
bigger tools with smaller ones as this will damage the latter. There are some tools that
have their own special storage instructions — like torque wrenches, among others so
be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions relative to this.
Be aware that enclosed storage spaces, like your tool room can have humidity
issues that might cause wear to your tools. Be sure to keep your tools dry by putting
dehumidifiers in your tool box like silica gel perhaps.
2. Clean your plumbing tools after every use
Make this as part of your standard operating procedure, cleaning your tools
after every use to prolong the life of your tools by avoiding dirt and rust to eat the
metals in your tools. Perhaps you may spray a little amount of WD-40 onto them
straight after every use or just simply wipe the dirt with a piece of cloth.
3. Inspect your plumbing tools frequently

To prolong the lifespan of your tools you need to inspect them regularly to see
for any damaged done during and after finishing a plumbing job. You have to take care
of your tools because without them, you cannot perform a very good plumbing
operation. They are your investment to earn more money in your job as a plumber.
96
4. Pick quality tools initially
There are three (3) different grades of tools available — the professional,
intermediate, and consumer-grade. I would like to recommend that you select the
professional tools because they are heavy-duty and will not betray you during your
plumbing operations, giving you a peace of mind and ease of work.
Caring for your plumbing tools all the time with a TLC can save you a lot of time
and money and in the long run will help to do your plumbing job to the best of your
abilities. So, always see to it that this simple advise is given due and utmost
considerations.
