  1. 1Count fixture units connected, calculate peak flow rate
  2. 2Apply the formula using your project measurements
  3. 3Add required safety factors or waste allowances per code

Worked Examples

Инпут
3 sinks at 2 GPM each, 2-minute retention
Резултат
Trap = 6 GPM flow → use 10 GPM trap

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not applying code-required safety factors or derating
  • Forgetting to account for waste and cut losses in material estimates
