Sizing the Building Water Supply Distribution System

Building Officials and Code Administrators International Inc.

Publication Date:

Scope:

Introduction

This appendix contains three methods for sizing a water supply and distribution system. The methods outlined are only recommended. This appendix is not intended to be enforced as code minimum requirements. Other methods of sizing water supply and distribution systems may be acceptable.

The designations used to distinguish the three methods are prefixes C.1, C.2 and C.3.

Purpose: The primary purpose of this appendix is to set forth performance requirements, design criteria and procedures for safe and efficient water supply and distribution systems within buildings and thereby protect the health and safety of building occupants. A practical procedure is developed whereby maximum probable demands may be determined and pipe sizes selected consistent with the stated objective and recognized basic plumbing code principles. Conformance to this recommended practice will assure that the intent of the code has been met. Nothing in this appendix is envisioned as exclusionary nor is it intended to preclude the use of alternative techniques.
