Plumbing and Sanitary Work | Principles of Sanitary/Plumbing Design

Plumbing is the skill and art that is needed to transport water from the source to the users, then to the treatment plants, and finally supplying the treated water to the users through a distribution system. It is a system of pipes and fixtures installed in a building for the distribution and use of potable water and the removal of waterborne wastes. It uses pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other apparatuses to convey fluids for a wide range of applications such as heating and cooling (HVAC), waste removal, and potable water delivery. Sanitary work, on the other hand, refers to carrying the wastewater to the waste disposal system (sewerage system) through plumbing fixtures.

Plumbing and sanitary system is an essential part of the construction. This system needs to be designed and properly planned as it ensures that hygiene is maintained in the house, office or any structure being built. It is believed that around 8% of the construction cost of a building is allotted for plumbing and sanitary work.
