This is a demonstration on how to size a water system utilizing available pressures, distance, elevation, and gallons per minute. This is Appendix A of the UPC (Uniform Plumbing Code). If you have any questions, please ask and I will be happy to assist!

Great Review. I did this about 6 years ago for a permit I needed for a repipe. The engineer down at the city was cool, he helped me with it, and I had to get a line diagram and detail, along with the calculations and needed WSFU table submitted to the city. It was a 4 unit apartment building, 16 PSI & 28 feet elevation. you made it look easy. Thank again!

It gets easy once it's explained WHY it needs to be done this way, and when you do it a few times.

Wow. Thanks! Believe me it is my pleasure!!! I swear I do the videos just as an excuse to draw the beginning time lapse. Kidding. I never would've done these videos if it wasn't for Covid and having to take my class online. I'm so thrilled that others outside my class are watching these.

Great Video. Thanks for taking time to share.... Would the calculation procedure be any different if the main service line was from a water storage tank on a roof slab? Would there be a need to factor any elevation since the water is distributed by gravity?

In order to properly provide the necessary volumes in gpm per fixture, it would be advisable to size according to available pressures- whether the supply is coming from the street or the roof. I hope this answers the question sufficiently.

Great explanation! Upped my confidence in using Appendix A. Do you have plans do do one for Appendix B?

It is said that when you make plans, God laughs. I have every intention of furthering this code series, however as of late I have been packing up the whole family to move to the other side of the country. From west coast to Tennessee. I will do more as soon as I am situated back there. Thank you for the kind words.
