COURSE CODE ECM346
LEVEL OF OPENNESS 1
CATEGORY PARTIALLY OPEN
DEGREE OF OPEN-ENDED (%) 33
PERIOD OF ACTIVITY 1 WEEKS
TITLE PLUMBING AND SANITARY SYSTEM
1.1 Introduction
Level 1 laboratory activity refers to condition where the problem and ways &
means are guided and given to the students. However, the answers to the
assignment are left to the students to solve using the group creativity and
innovativeness. The activity is to slowly be introduced and inculcate independent
learning amongst students and prepare them for a much harder task of open-
ended laboratory activities.
In this laboratory activity, students will be exposed to the water supply in the
building and the collection of all the used water for treatment.
PREAMBLE
1.2 Objective
The objective of this activity is:
• To study the existing plumbing and sanitary layout systems of specific building.
1.3 Learning Outcomes
At the end of the laboratory activities, students would be able to:
1. Understand the plumbing and sanitary layout system.
2. Identify and solve problem regarding the plumbing and sanitary systems.
1.4 Theoretical Background
Plumbing is the art and science of creating and maintaining sanitary conditions in
building. It includes installation, repair work and servicing the pipes, fixtures and
appurtenances necessary for bringing in water supply and removing liquid and
water-borne wastes.
UiTM Pahang consists of academic and non-academic buildings. Each building had
water supply and sanitary problem. From time to time the same problem are
repeating and are not able to be solved.
PROBLEM STATEMENT You are required to study the existing plumbing and sanitary layout systems,
analysed the possible problems that may arise regarding the plumbing and sanitary
system and proposed the solution so that the problem can be avoided and
resolved.
