Planning & EstimatingQuestion 289 of 360
What is the main purpose of a plumbing fixture schedule on a set of plans?
a.To list the paint finishes
b.To identify each fixture type, its connection sizes, and its mark so it can be matched to the floor plan
c.To show soil-bearing capacity
d.To give the electrical load calculations
Explanation
A fixture schedule lists each fixture by mark or tag along with its make/model reference and connection sizes, letting the installer match plan symbols to real fixtures. It drives both the material order and the rough-in dimensions. Reading it alongside the floor plan avoids ordering the wrong fixture or trap size.
