SUITABLE PIPE SELECTIONCriteria• Design life• Cost involved• Hot or cold water• Material and environment characteristics – strength, roughness, ease
of transportation, available sizes, and availability of skilled labor
General Principles• Corrosion resistant material• Lead may be used only for flushing and overflow pipes• Polyethylene and unplasticized PVC pipes should not be
installed near heat sources.

NBC GENERAL REQUIREMENTS• Wholesome water supply for drinking and culinary purposes• No cross-connection between pure and contaminated water pipes• No back-flow towards the source of supply• Maintain definite air gap in all appliances (minimum 15 cm or twice
pipe bore for storage cisterns)• Water-tight pipes and pipe-connections• No piping under wastewater pipes• Corrosion protection measures in corrosive environments (e.g.
corrosive soils, proximity to electric cables), e.g. exterior CI tubing• Sufficient strength of pipes underground or under traffic loads or
frost• Maximum rate of discharge required• Economy in labor and materials
![Page 31: 2.the Plumbing Practice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061522/563dbba0550346aa9aaecf6c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
NBC GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
• Avoid formation of air locks• Avoid noise transmission • Avoid unsightly arrangement• Smooth joints• Gradual size and direction changes• No direct connection of boilers or hot machinery,
use feed cistern
![Page 32: 2.the Plumbing Practice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061522/563dbba0550346aa9aaecf6c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
NBC PIPEWORK REQUIREMENTS• Adequate size providing required rate and pressure of flow• Use sluice and other valves to divide main into sections of shutting off
for maintenance• Avoid dead ends• Wash-out valve not to discharge directly into drain or sewer,
interpose a trap chamber• Air valves at all summits and washout at low points between
summits.• Mains to follow general contour, rise towards air valves and fall
towards washouts; always ensure positive pressure everywhere • Clear cover over pipe 90cm under roadways and 75 cm under
footpaths• Locate mains in easily identifiable locations where there are
telephone and electric cables, etc. laid.

NBC COMMUNICATION PIPES REQUIREMENTS
• Communication Pipes (Between water main and stop-cock at the boundary of premises) – A communication pipe may serve many premises, if an owner owns many adjacent premises
• Disconnection using screwed ferrules upto 50mm dia pipes and T-branch off for larger diameter
• Identification and repair is easy of communication pipe and underground service pipe both are perpendicular to main and parallel to each other
• All communication pipes to have a stop-cock and concealed meter for inspection and observation by authority
![Page 34: 2.the Plumbing Practice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061522/563dbba0550346aa9aaecf6c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
NBC CONSUMER PIPES REQUIREMENTS
• Underground connection to communication pipe• Use stop-cocks suitably to minimize interruption during repairs of
sections• Do not use booster pumps directly on the service pipe, use it on a
storage tank• Consideration of expansion and contraction or other movements• No service pipe connection with distribution pipe; tanks may
backflow into service pipes causing contamination and overpressure
• No direct service pipe connection with any water closet or urinals; use separate storage tanks instead
• No direct service pipe connection to hot water apparatus
![Page 35: 2.the Plumbing Practice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061522/563dbba0550346aa9aaecf6c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
NBC WATER STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
• PurposeTo provide against interruptions of the supply caused by repairs to mains, etc.To reduce the maximum rate of demand on the mainsTo tide over periods of intermittent water supplyTo maintain a storage for firefighting requirements
• ProvisionsGenerally welded, riveted or pressed galvanized steel tanks are used. Steel tanks bitumen coated internally and exterior painted with anti-corrosive weather-resistant paint are also used. Tanks are covered with dust-tight, mosquito-proof lids and are provided with mosquito-proof warning pipes.Stop valve or stop tap at each outlet except overflow pipe
![Page 36: 2.the Plumbing Practice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061522/563dbba0550346aa9aaecf6c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
NBC WATER STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
• Storage capacity requirements criteriaHours of supply at sufficiently high pressure to fill up the overhead tankFrequency of replenishment of overhead tanks during 24 hoursRate and regularity of water supplyConsequences of exhausting storage particularly in case of public buildings like hospitals.
• Generally minimum half a day’s supply is stored when the water supply is intermittent and the hours of supply are irregular.
• It is not necessary to have separate storage for flushing and sanitary requirements when there is only one communication pipe provided for water supply to a building. Tap water for flushing purpose from lower level and other domestic purposes from upper level outlets.
