PLUMBING SYSTEM

 Plumbing system of a building includes the water supply


distributing pipes, the fixtures and fixture traps, the soil, waste
and vent pipes; the house drain and house sewer the storm-water
drainage; with their devices, appurtenances and connections all
within or adjacent to the building.
A 3-inch (76 mm) drain would
require a 1½-inch (38 mm) vent. A
2-inch (51 mm), 1½-inch or 1¼-
inch (38 or 31.8 mm) drain would
require a minimum 1¼-inch (31.8
mm) vent, this being the minimum
size allowed.
WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

 Water Main
 Water Service
 Meter
 Valve
WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
 Fixtures
Water Heater
 Trunk and Branch Lines
DRAIN-WASTE-VENT (DWV)
SYSTEM
 The drain-waste-vent system, also known as the
sanitary system is all of the plumbing in your home
minus the water supply system. This includes the
drainpipes, drains, and vents.
THREE TYPES OF PIPES
▪︎DRAIN PIPES
▪︎WASTE PIPES
▪︎VENT PIPES
FIRE PROTECTION
 Is the study and practice of mitigating the unwanted effects
of potentially destructive fires.

Types of Fire Protection


1. Active fire protection- is a group of system that require some amount of action in
order to work efficiently in the event of fire.
2. Passive fire protection-is a group of system that compartmentalize a building
through the use of fire resistance rated walls and floors, keeping the fire spreading
quickly and providing time to escape for people in the building.
Fire Resistance
 Is the property of materials or their assemblies that
prevents or retards the passage of excessive heat, hot
gasses or flames under conditions of use.
Fire Resistance Material
A fire resistant material is one that is designed to resist burning and
withstand heat.
Example
• Bunker gear worn by firefighters
Fire-Retardant Materials
 designed to burn slowly
Examples
• Mineral wool is a fibrous material
• Brick
 A type of block used to build walls, pavements and
other elements in masonry construction.
• Concrete
Is a composite material composed of fine and coarse
aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement (cement
paste) that hardens (cures) over time.
• Glass
Is a non-crystalline, often transparent amorphous solid,
that has widespread practical, technological, and
decorative use in, for example, window panes,
tableware, and optics.
