604.5 Size of Fixture Supply
| FIXTURE | MINIMUM PIPE SIZE (inch) |
|---|---|
| Urinal, flush tank | 1/2 |
| Urinal, flushometer valve | 3/4 |
| Wall hydrant | 1/2 |
| Water closet, flush tank | 3/8 |
How do you size a water distribution system?
Three Steps to Sizing Plumbing Piping Systems
- Add up the total number of water supply fixture units (wsfu) required in the facility.
- Estimate demand using the table from the IPC that correlates wsfu to expected demand.
- Size the pipe using demand vs. friction loss curves found in the IPC charts.
Why do homes not have urinals?
Because homes are built to standards. It doesn’t make sense to have a urinal and a traditional toilet in every bathroom, from a monetary or design standpoint. Simply put, a toilet is capable of dealing with all the standard bathroom needs.
What does a flushometer do in a toilet?
A. A flushometer is a metering valve for commercial toilets and urinals. Basically, a flushometer is a commercial flush valve. A flush valve is a component in a tank style toilet. Q. “Is there anything to be aware of when using high volume flush valves on low consumption china?” A.
What’s the name of the valve that flushes the toilet?
A flushometer valve or popularly Sloane valve, named for its inventor uses building water pressure alone to flush waste from a toilet or urinal.
What happens when you open the flushometer valve?
The flushometer valve is opened, the relief valve is removed from the internal parts, and the flushometer is reassembled without those parts in place. The flushometer water flow control stop is opened to its wide-open position. If the fixture siphons, that is it flushes, more water volume is needed.
What should the water pressure be for a Sloan flushometer?
• FLUSH ALL WATER LINES PRIOR TO MAKING CONNECTIONS. The Sloan Flushometer is designed to operate with 15 to 80 psi (103 to 552 kPa) of water pressure. THE MINIMUM PRESSURE REQUIRED SELECTED. Consult fixture manufacturer for minimum pressure requirements. Most High Efficiency water closets require a minimum flowing pressure of 25 psi (172 kPa).

What’s the minimum pressure for a Sloan flushometer?
Sloan’s flushometers are designed to operate with 15 to 80 psi (103 to 552 kPa) of water pressure. THE MINIMUM PRESSURE REQUIRED TO THE VALVE IS DETERMINED BY THE TYPE OF FIXTURE SELECTED. Consult fixture manufacturer for minimum pressure requirements. Most High Efficiency water closets require a minimum flowing pressure of 25 psi (172 kPa).
