Planning the piping layout involves the piping that goes from the pumphouse to the home and service buildings. The first step is to determine how much water demand there will be at each building, or at each outside hydrant. The only difference between determining the demand on the pump is that the demand must be determined separately for each location.
Water Demand at Various Locations
Determining Where to Place the Pipelines
Water Demand At Various Locations
Home | Peak Allowance (gpm) |
---|---|
Comb. Tub & Shower | 2.00 |
2 Lavatory | 1.00 |
1 Toilet | .75 |
1 Kitchen Sink | .50 |
1 Dishwasher | 2.00 |
Home | Peak Allowance (gpm) |
---|---|
Comb. Tub & Shower | 2.00 -> 8.00 |
2 Lavatory | 1.00 |
1 Toilet | .75 |
1 Kitchen Sink | .50 |
1 Dishwasher | 2.00 |
Home | Peak Allowance (gpm) |
---|---|
Comb. Tub & Shower | 8.00 |
2 Lavatory | 1.00 |
1 Toilet | .75 |
1 Kitchen Sink | .50 |
1 Dishwasher | + 2.00 |
13.25 | |
Lawn Sprinkler | + 5.00 |
18.25 |
Note that by totaling the demands for the home with those for the service buildings and yard hydrants, the total is much greater than the demand figured for the pump. This is because the peak demand changes throughout the day from one building to the next, because many uses are not likely to be occurring at the same time.
Determining Where to Place the Pipelines
In planning the piping layout, things to keep in mind are
locations of asphalt and concrete paving, and where to locate the
cutoff
valve so that the least disruption will be caused by the servicing of
pipelines. Select the word procedure to see a
