Sanitary plumbing

Sanitary plumbing and drainage chapter from the CIPHE's Plumbing Engineering Services Design Guide.

A good sanitary pipework system should be designed and installed to provide the following attributes:

  1. Prevent the transmission foul air into the building.
  2. Minimise the frequency of any blockage and provided with adequate pipe access to enable the effective clearance of any such blockage.
  3. Provide efficient conveyance of discharge from sanitary, kitchen, laundry and wash-down facilities, to enable the correct function of each appliance.
  4. Where any sewer is likely to surcharge, minimise the risk of flooding to any part of a building where the floor level is located below normal ground level.
