Water Distribution Pipe Sizing Guide

This document provides information for sizing water supply distribution pipes. It outlines 7 steps: 1) preliminary information on service pressures and fixture requirements, 2) computing demand load based on fixture types and counts, 3) estimating water meter friction loss, 4) calculating available pressure loss, 5) determining total development length, 6) permissible friction loss per 100m of pipe, and 7) selecting pipe size based on total drainage fixture units. Computations are shown but values are missing. The goal is to size pipes to provide adequate pressure at fixtures while staying within allowable friction losses.

WATER SUPPLY DISTRIBUTION PIPE SIZING

1. Preliminary Informations
Minimum daily service pressure at water main
(kPa)

Minimum pressure 103 kPa (15 psi)


Maximum pressure 551 kPa (80 psi)

Pressure req'd at highest fixture


Flushometer valves = 103.42 kPa (15psi)
Flush tanks = 55.16 kPa (8psi)

Static Head Loss (kPa)

2. Demand Load
Computation for Demand Load
Fixture No. of fixture WSFU Total

*WSFU multiplied by 0.75 for


individual piping (Hot/Cold)

TOTAL WSFU

ESTIMATED DEMAND
LOAD BASED ON CHART

3. Water Meter Friction Loss

Estimated Pressure Loss at water meter (kPa)

4. Available Pressure loss due to Friction 0


(Water main - Static loss - water meter loss -
pressure maintained at highest fixture)

5. Total Development Length 0


( total length + fittings equivalent length )
Total Length
Fittings Equivalent length 0 (Can be assumed 150% of total length )

6. Permissible Friction per 100m #DIV/0!

7. Size of Water Supply Piping


Fixture No. of fixture connected DFU Total DFU

TOTAL DFU 0

Drainage Size
Vent Size

*Minimum size is 32mm


or 1/2 the drain size it
serves
