Share

Summary

This video is the first part of a refresher course for the Master Plumber Licensure Exam, focusing on sanitary plumbing design and installation. It covers various topics including commercial pipe sizes, connection methods, plumbing definitions, and common plumbing components and standards.

Highlights

PPR Pipe Sizing and Connection
00:00:24

The video starts by asking about the commercial pipe size of PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) pipes. The answer highlights that PPR pipes are specified by OD (Outside Diameter) and wall thickness, not by a schedule like other pipes. It also mentions that PPR pipes are connected through fusion welding.

Cast Iron Pipe Sizing and SDR Definition
00:01:27

The discussion moves to the commercial pipe size of a cast iron hub type pipe, stating it's 1.5 M. It then defines SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio) as the specific ratio of the average specified outside diameter to the minimum wall thickness for outside control diameter plastic pipes.

Lavatory Waste Outlet Height and Offset Fittings
00:02:40

The vertical distance from a waste outlet to the finished floor line of a typical lavatory is identified as 444mm. It also addresses combinations of fittings that can create an offset and still be considered a vertical pipe, such as 90-degree and 45-degree bends.

Thermostatic Mixing Valve and Ablution
00:03:20

A thermostatic temperature control valve is explained as a mixing valve that senses outlet temperature and compensates for fluctuations in incoming hot or cold water. The term 'ablution' is defined as the ceremonial act of washing parts of the body or sacred containers.

Waste Pipe and Combination Building Sewer Definitions
00:04:06

The video defines the discharge from clinical sinks conveyed to the building drain as a 'waste pipe'. A 'combination building sewer' is explained as a building sewer that conveys both sewage and stormwater.

Trap Primer and Unconfined Space
00:04:48

A 'trap primer' is described as a device and system of piping that maintains a water seal in a remote trap. An 'unconfined space' is defined as a room or space with a volume equal to at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour of the aggregate input rating of all fuel-burning appliances.

Sewage Pump, Standard Code, and Soldered Joint
00:05:35

A 'sewage pump' is identified as a permanently installed mechanical device, other than an ejector, for removing sewage or liquid waste from a sump. A 'code' is described as an extensive compilation provision covering broad subject matter. A 'soldered joint' is defined as a joint obtained by joining metal parts with metallic mixtures or alloys that melt at a temperature up to and including 840 degrees Fahrenheit.

Authority Having Jurisdiction
00:06:42

The 'Authority having jurisdiction' is defined as the organization, office, or individual responsible for enforcing the requirements of a code or standard.
