Plumbing Load Analysis and Septic Design

This document provides a plumbing load analysis for two separate projects based on the Revised National Plumbing Code of the Philippines. For the first project: the minimum septic tank capacity is 1,500 gallons based on a total drainage fixture unit load of 28. The recommended septic tank dimensions are provided. For the second smaller project: the minimum septic tank capacity is 1,000 gallons based on a total drainage fixture unit load of 8. The recommended pipe sizes for drainage, soil, waste and vent pipes are specified for both projects based on the total fixture loads. For the first larger project: the recommended water supply main is 40mm diameter to supply the 88 total water supply fixture units.
