be collected or retained for
ultimate discharge into the
plumbing system.

3. TYPES OF FIXTURES
• WATER CLOSET
• Lavatory
• Kitchen sink/Sink
• URINAL
• BIDET
• BATH TUB

4. 1. WATER COLSET

6. WATER CLOSET
TYPES AS TO DESIGN

7. A. SIPHON WASHDOWN
*The least expensive but the
noisiest; only small amount of standing water
susceptible to fouling, staining and
contamination.
*It is mechanically satisfactory and is lower in
price. Hence, it is widely used and entirely
acceptable where price is the main
consideration.

8. • SIPHON
A siphonic flush system uses vacuum
to pull waste from the toilet bowl into
the trapway. This is done by the shape
of the trapway acting as a siphon.
• WASHDOWN
The washdown toilet uses the
weight and the gravitational current
of the water to push waste from the
toilet bowl into the trapway.

10. B. SIPHON JET
*The jet being submerged introduces its water
underwater so that its operation is entirely
muffled.
*It has a large amount of standing water to
prevent fouling. It is mechanically efficient but
expensive.

11. C. SIPHON VORTEX
*This type of bowl develops its flushing action
through the water entering through diagonal
holes around the rim which creates a swirling
action which forms a vortex in the center.
*It is considered to be the most quiet, most
efficient and most sanitary water closet.

12. D. REVERSE TRAP
*The trap way located at the rear of the water
closet eliminated the buldge at the front.
*The design and appearance of the bowl plus
its large water area and quietness in
operation, make it desirable than siphon wash
down.

13. WATER CLOSET
TYPES AS TO MAKE

14. A. ONE-PIECE
*The water closet fixture is manufactured with
the bowl and the flush tank molded into a
single unit. Usually used in tandem with the
bidet.

15. B. CLOSED COUPLED
*A water closet where in the flush tank is
separate but is attached to the toilet bowl. It
is a two-piece model.

16. C. PAIL FLUSH
*A water closet comprising only of a bowl
without a flush tank. Flushing action is
obtained only through water poured from a
pail or bucket.
*This is used in areas where running water
systems are not available.

78. FITTINGS
A pipe fitting joins pipe and
plumbing configurations. If you
were to plumb your entire house,
you would need a pipe fitting at
different parts of your house to
branch off the water supply or
bend with the water supply so that
the water goes around a corner.

79. HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH PIPE FITTING YOU NEED?
The type of pipe fitting you need depends on what kind of pipe
you're already using in your plumbing configuration. If you have a
copper tubing running through your house, you need copper
fittings. If you have CPVC pipe, then you need PVC fittings. If you
have PEX tubing, you might need a variety of different PEX fittings
or some kind of material compatible with PEX. The right pipe
fitting for the job also depends on its compatibility with the fluid
that runs through the application.

80. CAP
is a type of pipe fittings, also known as
heads, plugs, bulkheads, which are welded
on the pipe end or installed on the external
thread of the pipe end to cover the pipes.
Used to close the pipeline, the function is
the same as the pipe plug.

81. PLUG
is closed on one end with male threads or
no threads for a solvent weld connection.
It is also used to seal ruin pipe.

82. CAPS VS PLUGS
• Pipe PLUG: A male NPT fitting, meant to "plug"
off a female NPT end connection.
• Pipe CAP: A female NPT fitting, meant to "cap"
off a male NPT end connection.

83. CLEANOUT PLUG
a lid or cap that closes off the drain cleanout
pipe. It’s usually made of metal or plastic and
covers the pipe’s upper end.
This plug helps prevent the entry of debris and
pests while stopping potentially harmful sewer
gasses and fumes from exiting the pipe and
backing up in your yard.

84. CLEANOUT PLUG

85. COUPLING
Connects two lengths of pipe. Has
female thread on both ends (for
galvanized pipe) or no threads (for
copper, PVC and other solvent-
welded pipe).

86. REDUCER COUPLING
joins two different sizes of pipe.

87. ADAPTER COUPLING
joins two different types of
connection types, such as
threaded and solvent weld.

88. REPAIR COUPLING

small sections of broken pipe.
The old damaged section of
pipe is removed and the repair
coupling is installed in its place.

89. ELBOW
Changes the direction of the
pipe, usually at a 45°, 90° or
22.5° angle. Most common are
elbows with female threads or
solvent welds on both ends.

90. STREET ELBOW
has a female end on one end
and a male end on the other.
Also available for solvent
welded products.

91. SWEEP
is a type of elbow that has a longer
curve for a more gradual bend.
Available in long or short versions.

92. REDUCING ELBOW
change the size of the pipe.

93. STRAIGHT TEE
all tee has three female openings in a
T shape. Ithas the same size
openings.

94. REDUCING TEE
has two openings of the same size
and one of a different size.

95. SANITARY TEE
a curved center section to allow
smoother, more efficient liquid flow. In
drainage systems, it is primarily used to
connect horizontal drains to vertical
drains. Sanitary tees should not be used
to connect a vertical drain to a
horizontal drain because of the
likelihood that solids will build up at the
bottom of the junction and cause a
blockage.

96. CROSS TEE
has four female openings of equal size

97. CLEANOUT TEE
has a threaded opening to be used in
conjunction with a threaded plug for a
cleanout opening on a drain pipe.

98. WYE BEND TEE
has three female openings. Two are
straight in a line; the third is at a 45°
angle.

99. SANITARY TEE VS WYE BEND TEE
Sanitary tees are used to connect horizontal lines to vertical
lines.
Wyes are used to connect vertical lines to horizontal lines. You
can also use wyes to combine or split horizontal lines.

100. NIPPLE
Any length of pipe that is less than 12”
and used to extend a run of pipe.
Usually available in increments of 1”,
from “close” (the shortest length,
where threads almost touch) to 12”.
Longer lengths of pipe are considered
“cut lengths” and are available in 24”
increments.

101. FLOOR FLANGE
Connects a pipe to a wall, floor or any
flat surface. Flanges are threaded onto
pipe and tightened. Four screw holes
allow the flange rim to
attach to a flat surface.

102. CLOSET FLANGE
is made to connect toilets to drain and
vent systems. The adjustable ring on
some closet flanges allows for easier
toilet alignment.

103. OFFSET CLOSET FLANGE
used when the drain pipe has been
incorrectly positioned.

104. DROP EAR ELBOW
Also known as a wing elbow.
Drop ear elbow provides a rigid
installation for mounting an elbow to
a wall. Usually used for installing a
shower arm or washer hose valve.
Some variations of the drop ear elbow
include fittings that can transition
from plastic to
brass or copper

105. BUSHING
Inserted inside a coupling to reduce
the size of the pipe. Any number of
reductions can be made to reduce and
couple to another size of pipe. Male
threaded on one end with a smaller
diameter female thread on the other.

106. UNION
A three-part fitting that connects any
standard size pipe where it may be
necessary to
disconnect later, such as on a water
heater. Connects to male threaded
ends.

107. TRANSITION UNION
joins different types of tubing, such as
CPVC to brass.

108. SADDLE TEE
Joins a smaller drainpipe to a larger one,
such as a 1-1/2” pipe to a 3” pipe. Used
when installing a drain on existing
plumbing. Saves the labor of cutting and
rejoining
the main pipe. Some types are made for
joining a PVC pipe to a cast iron drain.

109. P-TRAP
Used at each plumbing fixture to
prevent sewer gasses from escaping, by
keeping a water seal in the trap.

110. CLEAN-OUT
Must be installed to allow
cleaning of the drainage system.

111. PVC (POLYVINYL CHLORIDE)
Used as a cold water supply pipe in many
countries around the world because of
the low price and ease of installation.

112. CPVC
(CHLORINATED POLYVINYL CHLORIDE)
Used as a hot/cold water supply pipe in
many countries around the world
because of the low price and ease of
installation.
