Design & SizingCâu 9 / 110
A horizontal fixture branch carries 30 DFU. The sizing table lists these branch capacities: 2 in = 6 DFU, 3 in = 20 DFU, 4 in = 160 DFU. Two of the fixtures are water closets. What is the minimum pipe size for the branch?
a.4 in
b.2 in
c.2-1/2 in
d.6 in
Giải thích
The 30 DFU load exceeds the 20 DFU capacity of a 3 in branch, so the table already forces the next size, 4 in (160 DFU). The presence of water closets independently forbids anything smaller than 3 in, but here the load alone requires 4 in. Always pick the smallest size whose capacity equals or exceeds the load.
