Steps of design
1- Count the number of sanitary ware S.W served fed by this
pipe
2- Count water supply fixture unit WSFU for this sanitary ware
(by table A-2)
3- Convert fixture unit WSFU to GPM (by chart A-2 OR A-3)
4- BY GPM we get pipe size (by friction chart A-5)

1-2 Hot water networks:

:

Steps of design
1- Count the number of sanitary ware S.W served fed by this
pipe which have hot water connection
*( W.C, UR, Dish Washer D.W , Washing Machine W.M ) this sanitary ware havent hot water connection

2- Count water supply fixture unit WSFU for this sanitary ware

(by table A-2) and Multiply it with

3
4
*

3- Convert fixture unit WSFU to GPM (by chart A-2 OR A-3)

4- BY GPM we get pipe size (by friction chart A-5)

sanitary ware
which have hot water 3/4 WSFU GPM diameter size
connection
