9. Water Supply Fixture Unit (WSFU)
WSFU are used to determine the water demand in water supply
systems. One WFSU for a single unit corresponds to one GPM.
1 Water Supply Fixture Unit (WSFU) = 1
GPM
Example. One water closet is valued at 6 fixture units
Therefore,
1 WC × 6
FU
WC
× 1
GPM
WSFU
= 6GPM
