CITR-1015 / $59 > 53429 Williams Start Anytime Water Pipe Sizing for Plumbers (online) This online course covers the most commonly used UPC method of sizing water distribution systems as described in Code sections 610.7 610.9. This is the sizing that will be used in the course you are beginning. It should be noted that the Uniform Plumbing Code offers three other ways to size water piping systems. Appendix A is useful in sizing larger systems, especially if the water supply fixture units and length limits in Table 6-6 are exceeded. Appendix L allows for separate fixtures in a bathroom to be sized as a group. This allows for large apartment complexes and condos to be more economically sized. Footnote three in Table 6-5 permits fixtures, in branches that are supplied with both hot and cold piping, to be assigned 75 percent of their Table 6-5 values. The benefit, in larger installations is cost savings that could result from smaller pipe sizes being required. The authority having jurisdiction should be consulted before using any option other than the standard sizing method.

This is accomplished by asking a series of questions. To receive the greatest benefit you should take the time to find each answer in your code book. Do not guess. The answers to these questions, as well as the answers that you will need when you take the Journey Plumber Test with Gas, will be from the 2009 Uniform Plumbing Code, not what you may or may not practice in the field. The knowledge and skill you gain from this course will be based on the effort that you put into it. Each set of questions are based on a specific chapter of the code book. In the actual journey plumber test, the questions are random and result in a wider search area of the code book for each answer. This course was intentionally not set up in that manner.
