Four Pointers for Architects when Designing a Plumbing System

Construction Business Review | Monday, July 26, 2021

Too many plumbing fixtures are put in different parts of the house, leading to fluid collection in the piping system, which can cause problems with the electric system.


Fremont, CA: The decisions taken by architects when constructing a home can impact the plumbing system as a whole. An efficient plumbing system is built in such a way that it conserves both water and energy. Short runs between plumbing fixtures are also part of a good house design. It will also make use of the greatest materials available. Here are four-pointers to keep in mind while planning a plumbing system:


Follow the Codes


It is critical to observe local construction codes and ensure design compliance before designing a house for drain, plumbing, waste, and vent systems. Plumbing codes restrict the number of fixtures that can be installed on a vent stack and a drain system in a room, as well as the location of supply drains and lines within the walls.


Plumbing Fixtures


One of the most common causes of inefficient plumbing is that the pipes used in the layout design are frequently insufficient in length. Too many plumbing fixtures are put in different parts of the house, leading to fluid collection in the piping system, which can cause problems with the electric system. Pipes can collide with


mechanical and structural aspects, requiring more money for materials and, as a result, more effort.


Water Supply


The water supply moves between the rooms that need plumbing as it is an integrated system. This also applies to the waste, drain, and vent system, usually located close to the water supply system.


It is advised that you pay special attention to these two while designing someone's home because you will save money on materials. In addition, it would be reasonable to consider grouping the rooms that require plumbing closer together to make the system more efficient.


Proper Pipe Placement


When plumbing and planning the house, it's critical to make sure the pipes are hidden but conveniently accessible. This will improve the appearance of the house you're working on from the outside. The rationale for this is that there will be no pipes strewn about. This design also makes it easier to repair them in the event of damage or leaks.
