A.) PIPE SIZING for Main line (By WATER SUPPLY UNIT VALUE LOAD)

ITEM FIXTURES No wsFU SUB-TOTAL

T2 WESTERN WATER CLOSET TYPE-2 8 x 2.50 = 20.00
T5 EASTERN WATER CLOSET - TYPE-5 23 x 5.00 = 115.00
L-1 LAVATORY TYPE (LAV-2) 21 x 2.00 = 42.00
L-2 LAVATORY TYPE (LAV-1) 1 x 2.00 = 2.00
SK-1 SINK SK-1 5 x 2.00 = 10.00
SK-2 SINK SK-2 1 x 2.00 = 2.00
SK-3 SINK SK-3 7 x 2.00 = 14.00
JMS Janitor sink 3 x 3.00 = 9.00
AF ABLUTION FAUCET 46 x 2.00 = 92.00
PS PIRENEAL SPRAY 31 x 2.00 62.00
HB HOSE BIBS 4 x 2.50 10.00
EWC ELECTRIC WATER COOLER 11 x 2.00 = 22.00
EWH ELCTRIC WATER HEATER 4 x 2.00 = 8.00
Total No. of Fixtures 165
= 408.00

From Uniform Plumbing Code 1994 Edition, Chapter 6, Table 6-5;

PIPE DIAMETER = 65 (2-1/2") mm < for Building supply
MAX. ALLOWABLE LENGTH = 61 m
MAX. ALLOWABLE LOAD = 500 wsFU

>>>>>>> From IFC drawing,Total length of pipe is 209 meters(from pipe entering building to the farthest fixture)
>>>>>>> Calculated total Fixture units is 492, then we will use the next standard pipe size which is 3"ø( equivalent to 80 mm ø)
as the main line pipe size
Note: UPC Table 6-5 shows maximum 2-1/2" dia. Pipe but this only has maximum allowable length of 61 meters
hence, we go for the next standard pipe diameter

T2 WESTERN WATER CLOSET TYPE-2 4 x 5.00 = 20.00
T5 EASTERN WATER CLOSET - TYPE-5 8 x 8.00 = 64.00
L-2 LAVATORY TYPE LAV-2 9 x 1.00 = 9.00
SINK SK-1 1

SK-2 SINK SK-2 1 x 2.00 = 2.00

SK-3 SINK SK-3 7 x 3.00 = 21.00

EWC ELECTRIC WATER COOLER 8 x 2.00 = 16.00
EWH ELCTRIC WATER HEATER 2 x 2.00 = 4.00
Total No. of Fixtures 55 173.00

From Uniform Plumbing Code 1994 Edition, Chapter 6, Table 6-5;

PIPE DIAMETER = 50 (2") mm < for branch supply
MAX. ALLOWABLE LENGTH = 122 m
MAX. ALLOWABLE LOAD = 205 wsFU

>>>>>>> From IFC drawing,Total length of pipe is 120 meters(from branch te to the farthest fixture)
>>>>>>> Calculated total Fixture units is 173, therefore 2"ø( equivalent to 50 mm ø) as the line pipe size for zone -1

MAX. ALLOWABLE LOAD = 250 wsFU

>>>>>>> From IFC drawing,Total length of pipe is 89 meters(from branch tee to the farthest fixture)
>>>>>>> Calculated total Fixture units is 268, therefore 2"ø( equivalent to 50 mm ø)
