Ik entails duties such as installing pipes, fixtures Cguch as sinks and toilets), Valves, and pumps to guarantee correct flow And distrubution ef clean Water as well as waste water removal, Plumbers also work on heating and Covling systems, gas Vines, and may fix leaks, blockages and water pressure Concerns jn homes, bussinesses , and ether facilities +e guarantee a Safe and effective plumbing system, 02) Briefly explain how to prepare a bend And Socket using Pye Pipe? * Measure the lengh Hs of pyc pipe 300mm and mark the cutting line using a measuring tape or ruler. use a hackcaw or pvc pipe cutter to cut the Pvc pipe +o the correct length, * Use sandpaper or A Pvc deburring tool +o Smooth the edges of the cut Rv.c pipe. + Ueasure the length of Ry.c pipe middle and mark the bending line and Me bending Mne is marked 4omm on both sides, measure and mark dhe two ends of P.v.c Ape needed to make the 4 Inch Socket .Apply end Cap to the end ef the Rv.c pipe and then fill Fhe fic pipe with sand. Then close the other -end using 4 non-stick materlal, Wke Paper: ‘the bending line of Gemm 1s heated by heat gun and dhe desire bend 1s created, Tmmidiately after forming the bend 1s cooled by water: © After that, heat the marked Size of Jinch in both end of the pvc pipe and make the required ocked with the help of @ Pvc pipe of the same size. Then immediatly after forming the socket Is cooled by Warten. The Ail Above steps are fillowed for the other end AS Well, 03) Name the P.v.c joined amd explain use of them. @ Sockets Joint C Solvent Cement Joint) > Uses: PVC Pipes are connected to Fitting with smooth, Socket - like ends using Socket joints. PVE solvent Cement is applied to the pipe and the Inside of the Hitting before putting the pipe Into the Atting’s Socket + « Threaded Joint: > Uses: Rye threaded Fitting and pipes with threaded ends ave used In threaded joints. These Fitting may be Screwed together to form a strong bond,¥ Compression Joint Csiip Joint) > Uses: Slip joints are used to attach pipes and fitting using a Compression washer or gasket. They enable for simple disassembly and reassembly without the need of Cement: © Joint Belled Cor Hub)! > Uces: Belled couplings are made by Inserting PVC pipes with a belled or flared end into 4 Corresponding Fitting without the use ef Cement, They form 4 tight, Friction ~ fit connecton, * Joint Union: > Uses: Union joints are made up of +wo +Mreaded halves that may be readily attached or separated with the use of a nut and « threaded ring. They make 1+ Possible to remove a Segment of pipe without having +o Cut Vt * Saddle C Saddles) Joint : > Uses: Saddle couplings are used to connect a new branch line without breaking the main pipe by connecting 4 saddle- shaped fitting te an existing Pipe.04) How to install the We Suite ? > Materials and Tools Needed : We Suite ( toiled bowl And cistern) War ring er rubber gasket for sealing the tvilet to the Floor - Adjustable wrench Mounting bolts and washers. Screwd river level Water Supply line. Shims CLP needed) , Plumber's tmpe, Silicone Caulk. © Prepare the Enyironmemt ! Make sure the space around the trilet Installation location is clear. Make that the Flange C the meta] er plastic ring that attaches fo the diinpipe) Is clean and in excellent Shape. ¢ Inctal) the War ring or Rubber flasket as follows : Apply a rubber gasket or 4 wax ring te the Flange. This will Seal the toilet and Arainpipe together, Check that His Centered over the Hange. © Place the Toilet Bowl: Lower the toilet bowl Carefully ever the Wax ring or gasket, matching the mounting holes \n the toilet’s base with dhe Flange bolts « Project the Toilet Bow! + Install mounting belts through the holes In the dvileL’s base and into the Flange. Tighten the nuts on the flange bolts 4p Secure the toilet bowl. Excessive Hghtentng might Cause ahe toilet bow! +o break.+ Toilet Adjustment: Make sure the toilet+ bowl! is level from tront 40 back ane} side to side by using a level. Sf the toilet is net level, make the required mod fication with shims. « Attach the Cistern to the Bow! as follows: Place the ¢listern on top of the boiled bowl, matchin the eistern’s mounting heles with the bowls heles. Bolts and Washers supplied ky the manufacturer are used to Secure the cistern to the bowl, Install the water Supply : Connect the water supply line to the Fill valve on the cistern’, bottom To achieve a Hight Seal, use plumbers tape. Turn on the water and \ock for any leaks, Make necessary changes: « Flushing Test: Flush the toilette check that it properly Fille and flushes. Examine the base And the connections for any leaks: « Cate Final Verification: Examine the toilet throughly for any leftover leaks or problems. Make sure the toilet Is level and Steady.05) Draw bathroom area pipe lineout, teat vent must be @ minimum of 2'-0" abeve the Ceiling Tubular 's" trap or / Bette 6’ bap Shower L _—— | f Lo tubuler ‘5! trap26) Briefly explain Why we use bib dnp, plate tmp, and gate valve * Bib Tape CBibceck) + Bib tape are Frequendly Used with outdoor foucets and garden hoses. They Are Intended for rapid and easy Water access and Shut - off. Bib taps are often bacie in form, having 4 single lever on knob to requlate the water flow. They're frequently employed In situations when a full size Faucet Isnt necessary. * Plate Elbow Cwall plate Tap)! Plate tape are commonly found on wall-mounted Faucets in bathrooms and kitchens. They provide a sofe and visually beautiful method of connecting Pipes to faucets. Plate taps are made out of a flat plate that mounts +e the wall and hides the plumbing Connections behind the wall. The fyucet Is then installed on this plate © Valve with & gore. Rate valves ave used in plumbing System +e Control the flow of Niguids Cusually water). They're frequently used as water Supply line shut-off valves and are appropriate for on/off applications. Gate valves Contain an internal gate or wedge - shaped Alsk that slides up and down to regulate the flow. The gate permits unlimited How when completely open, and produces a water tight Seal When fully closed, Gete valves are well-known for their ability +0 Close eyutekly,Jon How +o do the pressure test at the Constnaction site + Inspect the system: > Before conducting the pressure dest, visually inspect the entire system to ensure that al components, pipes - Fittings and connections are in good condition and Properly installed, * Choose the Test Pressure : > Determine the appropriate test pressure based on local codes, Project Specifications , or engineering recommendation. The test pressure Is usually higher than the maximum expected operating pressure but Should not exceed the system's design Mmits- + Instat Test plugs or Caps! > Fer systems with open ends or connections, use test plugs or caps to Seal them Securely. Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to ensure a water Hight Seal, + Connect Pressure Gauge: > Install 4 pressure gauge at & Suitable location In the syctem to monitor the pressure during the test. Make sure the gauge 1S rated for the test pressure. « Fill the system: > Slowly introduce the test Fluid Cusually water) Into the system. This should be done gradually to avoid sudden pressure surges. Ensure that there are no air pockets er trappeal air within the system,* Pressurize the system: > Use @ pressure testing pump or equipment to pressurize the system up to the specified tect pressure, De this Slowly and Carefully, monitoring the pressure gauge aS you go- * Hold the prescure ! > Once the system reaches the test pressure, Close the Valve on the testing equipment. The system should Now hold this pressure for a specified duration, often 15 to 30 minutes or as specified in project requirements. « Monitor for pressure Loss: > During the test period, observe dhe pressure Jauge to check for any significant pressure drop. A Slight pressure drop may be acceptmble , but A Substancial drop indicates G leak. * Identify and Repair leaks: > Df there \s a noticeable pressure drop, Carefully inspect the entire system +p locate and repaire Any leake- Leaks Can oceuy at joints, Fittings or connec tons. « Complete the Test! > After the specified test curation, release the prescure Slowly and Safely using the testing equipment . Be cautious when depressurizing to avoid sudden bursts of water.* Document the Resulte! > Record the results, including the test pressure, duration,| and any issues encountered. This documentation 1s often required for compliance and quality Control, 08) What Are the names of Water pumbs ? + Centrifugal pump: + Submersible pump: * Jet pump + Diaphragm pump « Positive Displacement pump, Perictaltic pump + Hand pump. © Booster pump «Fire pump « Trash pump © Chemical pump + Solar pump:
