Plumbing Fixture Calculations and Sump Design

This document provides information to calculate plumbing fixture requirements and sump pump sizing for a building basement. It includes the number and type of fixtures, total fixture units, required pump flowrate and head, sump pit dimensions and drainage pipe sizing. Storm drainage calculations are also included to size the horizontal and vertical storm drainage pipes based on roof area and rainfall intensity.

Building including the following -:

1 -no of WC is 20

2 -no lav. Is 15

3 -no k.s is 6

4 -no Sh. Is 10

5 -no of Bath is 7

6 -no of FD is 11

Calculate the following

1 -submersible pump flow and head

2 -sump pit dimensions

3 -diameter of drainage pipe and flow in this pipe

4 -illustration of sump pit including

level of floats

Where this fixture as public

Solution
Assume that all the units are in the basement , the water closet is " flush tank "

units Number of Fixture unit


them
Water closet 20 20*4=80

lav 15 15*1=15

Kitchen sink 6 6*2=12

Shower 10 10*2=20

bathtub 7 7*2=14

Floor drain 11 11*2=22

Total f.u 163

pump flowrate = 81.5 GPM = 0.310404 M3/min

as per code every 2 FU needs 1 GPM

head = static head + friction head + residual (fix units )


Assume basement depth is 4 m

Head = 0.4 bar+ 0.24 bar+0.5 =1.14 bar

Head =2 bar

sump pit dimensions

volume = 0.310404*5 min =1.6 M3

from TABLE 710.1(1) in IPC

pipe diameter = 4 inch , slope = 1%

assume the length of the drain pipe = 40 m

slope =40 cm

depth of the sump pit = 40 cm+ 60 cm = 100 cm= 1 m

drain pipe is 4 inch , the flow rate 82 Gpm

storm drain

Q=CIA ,

c= 0.3 ,

I= 38 mm/hr=1.497 in/hr

Assume Area of roof = 1000 m2=0.25 acres

Q=0.3*0.75*1.497=112 cfs=148 Gpm

HORIZONTAL STORM DRAINAGE size= 6 inch

Slope 1%

VERTICAL STORM DRAINAGE size = 5 inch
