When this shows up on the exam

The Plumbing House exam asks you to total fixture units for a house, pick a drain, stack or branch size from a table at a given slope, check a trap arm length, size a vent, convert roof area into a storm load and size a water pipe. The On-site Sewage Systems exam asks the simpler versions: fixture unit totals, fixture outlet sizes and the minimum slope of small drains.

The method

  1. List every fixture draining to the pipe you are sizing. The load on a pipe is everything upstream of it, including fixtures roughed in for the future and any roof or paved area that drains into it (OBC Div. B 7.4.10.1.OBC Div. B 7.4.10.1. Total Load on a Pipe(1) The hydraulic load on a pipe is the total load from (a) every fixture that is connected to the system upstream of the pipe, (b) every fixture for which provision is made for future connection upstream of the pipe, and (c) all roofs and paved surfaces that drain into the system upstream of the pipe.).
  2. Give each fixture its drainage load from Table 7.4.9.3.OBC Div. B Table 7.4.9.3. Minimum Permitted Size of Fixture Outlet Pipe and Hydraulic Loads for Fixtures[1]Table 7.4.9.3. — Minimum Permitted Size of Fixture Outlet Pipe and Hydraulic Loads for Fixtures[1] Forming Part of Sentences 7.4.9.3.(1) and 7.4.10.2.(1) Fixture | Minimum Nominal Pipe Size of Fixture Outlet Pipe, NPS | Hydraulic Load, fixture units Autopsy table | 1½ | 2 Bathroom group (a) with flush tank | N/A | 6… A fixture that is not listed takes its load from its trap size in Table 7.4.10.2.OBC Div. B Table 7.4.10.2.

B 7.4.10.2.OBC Div. B 7.4.10.2. Hydraulic Loads for Fixtures(1) The hydraulic load from a fixture that is listed in Table 7.4.9.3. is the number of fixture units set forth in the Table. (2) Except as provided in Sentence (1), the hydraulic load from a fixture that is not listed in Table 7.4.9.3. is the number of fixture units set forth in Table 7.4.10.2. for the nominal pipe…). Watch the rows that depend on trap size.
  3. Use the bathroom group value when a water closet, a domestic lavatory and one bathtub or one single-head shower share a room. A flush-tank bathroom group is 6 fixture units, not the sum of its parts.
  4. Add continuous flows. A pump or air-conditioning fixture adds 31.7 fixture units per L/s of flow to a sanitary system (OBC Div. B 7.4.10.3.OBC Div. B 7.4.10.3. Hydraulic Loads from Fixtures with a Continuous Flow(1) Except as provided in Sentence (2), the hydraulic load from a fixture that produces a continuous flow, such as a pump or an air-conditioning fixture, is 31.7 fixture units for each litre per second of flow. (2) Where a fixture or equipment that produces a continuous or semi-continuous flow drains to a combined…).
  5. Pick the table that matches the pipe: stack, Table 7.4.10.6.-AOBC Div. B Table 7.4.10.6-A. Maximum Permitted Hydraulic Load Drained to a StackTable 7.4.10.6.-A Maximum Permitted Hydraulic Load Drained to a Stack Forming Part of Sentences 7.4.10.6.(1) and 7.5.7.3.(2) and Table 7.5.8.4.

Choose the smallest size whose limit is at least your load.
  6. Apply the minimum sizes that override the tables: NPS 3 for any pipe serving a water closet, NPS 4 downstream of the third water closet (OBC Div. B 7.4.9.2.OBC Div. B 7.4.9.2. Serving Water Closets(1) Drainage pipes that serve a water closet shall be not less than NPS 3. (2) Branch and building drains downstream of the third water-closet fixture drain connection shall be not less than NPS 4. (3) Stacks that serve more than 6 water closets shall be not less than NPS 4. (4) Discharge pipes serving a macerating…) and NPS 4 for a building drain or sewer downstream of the main cleanout when connected to a public sewer (OBC Div. B 7.4.9.4.OBC Div. B 7.4.9.4. Minimum Size of Building Drain and Sewer(1) Building drains and building sewers connected to the public sewer system downstream of the main cleanout (see Sentence 7.4.7.1.(6)) shall be not less than NPS 4. (2) Storm building drains and storm building sewers shall be not less than NPS 4.).
  7. Check the slope. Drainage pipes of NPS 3 or less need at least 1 in 50 (OBC Div. B 7.4.8.1.OBC Div. B 7.4.8.1. Minimum Slope(1) Except as provided in Sentences (2) and (3) and Articles 7.4.10.8. and 7.4.10.9., drainage pipes that are NPS 3 or less shall have a downward slope in the direction of flow of at least 1 in 50. (See Note A-7.4.8.1.(1)) (2) Sentence (1) does not apply to a force main. (3) Where it is not possible to comply with…). Fall equals run divided by the slope ratio.
  8. Trap arms and vents. Read the maximum trap arm length for the trap size in Table 7.5.6.3.OBC Div. B Table 7.5.6.3. Length of Trap ArmTable 7.5.6.3. Length of Trap Arm Forming Part of Sentence 7.5.6.3.(4) Nominal Pipe Size of Trap Served, NPS | Maximum Length of Trap Arm, m | Minimum Slope 1¼ | 1.5 | 1 in 50 1½ | 1.8 | 1 in 50 2 | 2.4 | 1 in 50 3 | 3.6 | 1 in 50 4 | 4.9 | 1 in 50 4 | 9.8 | 1 in 100 An individual or dual vent is sized from the largest trap served using Table 7.5.7.1.OBC Div. B Table 7.5.7.1. Minimum Permitted Size of Vent Pipe Based on Size of Trap ServedTable 7.5.7.1. — Minimum Permitted Size of Vent Pipe Based on Size of Trap Served Forming Part of Sentences 7.5.7.1.(1) and 7.5.8.2.(1) Nominal Pipe Size of Trap Served, NPS | Minimum Nominal Pipe Size of Vent Pipe, NPS 1¼ | 1¼ 1½ | 1¼ 2 | 1½ 3 | 1½ 4 | 1½ 5 | 2 6 | 2, with no length check (OBC Div.

(2) When sizing an individual vent or a dual vent, the length is not taken into consideration.). A branch vent, header, circuit or continuous vent uses load and developed length in Table 7.5.8.3.OBC Div. B Table 7.5.8.3.

  9. Storm loads. Load in litres = SB-1 15 min rainfall (mm) x (horizontal roof area + one-half of the largest adjoining wall area) in m² (OBC Div. B 7.4.10.4.OBC Div. B 7.4.10.4. Hydraulic Loads from Roofs or Paved Surfaces(1) Except as provided in Sentence (2), the hydraulic load in litres from a roof or paved surface is the maximum 15 min rainfall determined in conformance with MMAH Supplementary Standard SB-1, "Climatic and Seismic Data," multiplied by the sum of (a) the area in square metres of the horizontal projection of the…).

(3) For fixtures listed in Table 7.6.3.2.-A that are permitted to have an…, read the smallest size in Table 7.6.3.4.OBC Div. B Table 7.6.3.4. Hydraulic Load, Fixture UnitsTable 7.6.3.4. — Hydraulic Load, Fixture Units Forming Part of Sentence 7.6.3.4.(5) Nominal Pipe Size of Water Pipe, NPS | Water Velocity, 3.0 m/s[1]: Hydraulic Load, fixture units | Water Velocity, 2.4 m/s[1]: Hydraulic Load, fixture units | Water Velocity, 1.5 m/s[1]: Hydraulic Load, fixture units ½ | 8 | 7 | 4 ¾ |… under the chosen velocity column.

Worked example 1: total load and building drain size

A house has two bathroom groups with flush tanks, a powder room (flush-tank water closet and a domestic lavatory with an NPS 1¼ trap), a kitchen sink, a domestic dishwasher with its own drain connection, a clothes washer draining to a standpipe, and a floor drain with an NPS 2 trap. The building drain runs at 1 in 50 to a municipal sewer.

Fixture Fixture units
2 bathroom groups x 6 12
Water closet, flush tank 4
Lavatory, NPS 1¼ trap 1
Kitchen sink 1½
Dishwasher (separate connection) 1
Clothes washer, domestic 1½
Floor drain, NPS 2 trap 2
Total 23

Table lookup: Table 7.4.10.6.-C, row NPS 3, column "1 in 50" gives 27 fixture units, so by load alone NPS 3 would work. But there are three water closets, so the drain downstream of the third one must be at least NPS 4 (OBC Div. B 7.4.9.2.(2)OBC Div. B 7.4.9.2. Serving Water Closets(1) Drainage pipes that serve a water closet shall be not less than NPS 3. (2) Branch and building drains downstream of the third water-closet fixture drain connection shall be not less than NPS 4. (3) Stacks that serve more than 6 water closets shall be not less than NPS 4. (4) Discharge pipes serving a macerating…), and the drain downstream of the main cleanout must be NPS 4 anyway (OBC Div. B 7.4.9.4.(1)OBC Div. B 7.4.9.4. Minimum Size of Building Drain and Sewer(1) Building drains and building sewers connected to the public sewer system downstream of the main cleanout (see Sentence 7.4.7.1.(6)) shall be not less than NPS 4. (2) Storm building drains and storm building sewers shall be not less than NPS 4.). NPS 4 at 1 in 50 allows 240. Answer: NPS 4. Note that 7.4.8.1. sets 1 in 50 only for NPS 3 or less; an NPS 4 drain could run at 1 in 100 (limit 180).

Worked example 2: trap arm length and fall

A kitchen sink has an NPS 1½ trap. Table 7.5.6.3., row NPS 1½, gives a maximum trap arm of 1.8 m at a minimum slope of 1 in 50 (OBC Div. B 7.5.6.3.(4)OBC Div. B 7.5.6.3. Location of Vent Pipes(1) Except as provided in Sentences (2) and (3), vent pipes that protects a fixture trap shall be located so that (a) the developed length of the trap arm is not less than twice the NPS of the fixture drain, (b) the total fall of the trap arm is not greater than its inside diameter, and (c) the trap arm does not have…). Fall at full length: 1,800 mm / 50 = 36 mm. Article 7.5.6.3. also limits the total fall of the trap arm to its inside diameter and the cumulative change in direction to 135°. Check the inside diameter of the actual pipe used.

Worked example 3: vent sizes

The kitchen sink in Example 2 gets an individual vent. Table 7.5.7.1., row "NPS 1½" trap, gives a minimum NPS 1¼ vent, and length is not considered.

Upstairs, a branch vent serves two flush-tank bathroom groups (12 fixture units) and has a developed length of 12 m. Table 7.5.8.3. has rows for 8 and 20 fixture units and does not say how to treat a load in between, so the safe reading is the row at or above your load: row 20. NPS 1¼ is limited to 7.5 m (too short); NPS 1½ allows 15 m. Answer: NPS 1½. (Here the 8 row gives the same size, since NPS 1¼ allows only 9 m there.) Separately, every sanitary building drain needs at least one vent of NPS 3 or more (OBC Div. B 7.5.7.2.(2)OBC Div. B 7.5.7.2. Size Restriction(1) The nominal pipe size of a branch vent, stack vent, vent stack or vent header shall be not less than the nominal pipe size of the vent pipe to which it is connected. (2) Sanitary building drains shall be provided with at least one vent that is not less than NPS 3. (3) A vent referred to in Sentence (2) shall be a…).

Worked example 4: roof storm load

A house in Toronto (City Hall location) has a roof with a horizontal projection of 120 m², and a 30 m² wall drains onto it. SB-1 Table 2 gives a 15 min rain of 25 mm.

  • Effective area: 120 + (30 / 2) = 135 m²
  • Load: 135 x 25 = 3,375 L
  • Circular leader, Table 7.4.10.11.: NPS 2½ carries 3,070 L (too small), NPS 3 carries 5,000 L. Leader: NPS 3.
  • Storm building drain at 1 in 100, Table 7.4.10.9.: NPS 4 carries 4,220 L, which also meets the NPS 4 minimum for storm drains (OBC Div. B 7.4.9.4.(2)OBC Div. B 7.4.9.4. Minimum Size of Building Drain and Sewer(1) Building drains and building sewers connected to the public sewer system downstream of the main cleanout (see Sentence 7.4.7.1.(6)) shall be not less than NPS 4. (2) Storm building drains and storm building sewers shall be not less than NPS 4.).

Common mistakes

  • Adding the water closet, lavatory and tub separately (6½) instead of using the bathroom group value (6).
  • Counting a domestic dishwasher that drains through the kitchen sink.
  • Using the wrong trap-size row for a lavatory or floor drain.
  • Using the "2 or 3 heads" shower row for a 4-head shower.
  • Checking only the stack total and forgetting the "from any 1 Storey" limit in Table 7.4.10.6.-A.
  • Reading Table 7.4.10.6.-C in the wrong slope column, or forgetting the NPS 4 minimums.
  • Applying the NPS 1½ trap arm row to an NPS 2 trap, or using the 1 in 100 row (NPS 4 only).
  • Using the row below your load in Table 7.5.8.3., which can give an undersized vent.
  • Including the most downstream fixture when sizing a wet vent.
  • Taking the whole wall area instead of half, or using the one-day rain column.
  • Applying the 75% hot and cold reduction when 7.6.3.4.(5) requires 100% of the load.
