n  Jointing between dissimilar materials n 

n 

Avoid joining dissimilar materials where possible to avoid electrolytic corrosion (when two or more metals come in the presence of moisture or water, an electric current is created between the metals through the water and as a result, one of the metals will corrode) However, when dissimilar pipes have to be used, there are available approved unions made of electrically nonconducting materials for jointing. For example, copper unions can be used for the following connections: n  n

n  Traps, vent and water seals n  Traps n 

n 

A trap can be a a fitting or part of an appliance in the case of a water closet pan and arranged to retain water, call the water seal The water seal prevents foul smells from the drains entering the room, the depth of the seal is usually between 50 to 75mm. All traps should be accessible and provided with access cover or cleaning eye to facilitate cleaning

n  Trap and water seal

Building Services – Plumbing and Sanitary Services

n  Trap Venting n 

n  n  n  n 

A vent is a pipe or opening that brings outside air into the plumbing system and equalizes the pressure on both sides of the trap to prevent trap seal loss A trap provides a water seal that keeps sewer gas from entering the building through a waste outlet It is necessary to design a horizontal drainage pipe to flow half full of waste and half full of air In optimal flow, the pipe will be approximately one-third full of waste with the remaining space occupied by air In the case of vertical pipe, the fluid flow is on the wetted perimeter of the pipe, making the flow look similar to a doughnut

Building Services – Plumbing and Sanitary Services

n 

Ventilated stack system

Building Services – Plumbing and Sanitary Services

n  Fully ventilated system n  Fully ventilated system is used where there are large numbers of sanitary appliance in range or they are widely dispersed n  The system permits the discharges from the soil and waste appliances to be connected into a branch discharge pipe and discharged to a common discharge stack n  The individual soil appliances are individually vented and connected to the main vent stack, which runs side by side to the main discharge stack

Building Services – Plumbing and Sanitary Services

n  Fully ventilated – six storeys and below n  The system uses a separate discharge and ventilating stack, individual traps/soil sanitary appliance is connected directly to the discharge pipe or stack that need to be provided with branch ventilating pipe, which is connected to ventilating stack n  The vent pipe starts at the 2nd level of the building soil appliances, connect to the main stack and terminates to the discharge stack at a point not less than 150mm above the spill over level of topmost soil appliance of floor trap
