A 'home run' plumbing design features centrally located manifolds distributing water to each fixture with dedicated hot and cold lines. A 'welded pipe' is a steel pipe manufactured by drawing flat steel strips through a die to form a cylindrical shape.
The video starts by defining a bidet as a plumbing fixture used for washing external genitalia. It then defines a riser as a vertical pipe or reservoir into which water is pumped to give it a head.
A 'cut pipe' is described as a piece of pipe over 300mm in length but less than commercially available, functioning as an extension. A 'fixture trap' is defined as a fitting or device that provides a liquid seal to prevent sewer gas emission when properly vented.
A 'yolk vent' is explained as an interconnection between a vent stack and a soil stack. The video then states that a plumbing permit becomes null and void if work is not commenced within one year.
A 'temperature pressure relief valve' is identified as a valve installed on a hot water tank to release temperature or pressure buildup. A 'circulating pump' is used to boost hot water pressure.
CCI P means 'central cast iron pipe'. 'Anaerobic bacteria' are identified as bacteria that require no oxygen for sewage decomposition. A 'tailpiece' is the pipe or tubing connecting a fixture's outlet to the trap.
A 'bushing' is a fitting to connect the male end of a pipe to a larger-sized fitting. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipes for Drain Waste Vent (DWV) are manufactured based on standards set by 'ASTM'.
RCPC means 'reinforced concrete pipe culvert'. 'Schedule 40' is generally considered standard weight pipe. The simplest and cheapest bonnet design of a valve is 'bolted'.
A 'rainwater leader' is a pipe that conveys rainwater from the roof to the storm drain. 'Rigging' is the securing of equipment or materials for lifting using ropes, chains, or webs.
