1. Typical layouts of water distribution systems include
The loop system, grid system, and tree branching types
Diamond, vertical standpipes, and capillary systems
Upflow, gravity, and pancake systems
Victaulic, static, and thrust block types
2. Which kind of exchangeable device can be connected to an existing plumbing
system to deliver and drain water?
water supply fixture
plumbing materials
plumbing fixtures
waterway materials
3. What are the primary components of a water supply and distribution system that
ensure the delivery of water to consumers?
Water mains, distribution lines, and plumbing fixtures
Water meters, valves, and tanks
Pumps, filters, and treatment facilities
All of the above
4. If a new airport is being constructed and is expected to serve 10 million passengers
annually, how would you estimate its daily water consumption rate based on typical
usage rates for airports? Assume an average consumption rate of 5 gallons per capita
per day.
Calculate 5 gallons multiplied by the total number of passengers divided by
,365 days.
Estimate that the airport will not require any water since it is new.
Use the average consumption rate of residential apartments instead.
Assume the airport will have a consumption rate equal to that of a hospital.
, 5. Explain the significance of the source in a water supply system and how it relates to
building plumbing.
It is the final point of water delivery to consumers.
It regulates the pressure of water in the distribution system.
It serves as the initial point where water is supplied before entering the
plumbing system.
It measures the volume of water consumed by a facility.
6. A new residential building is being constructed, and the plumbing design team needs
to select an appropriate water meter. What factors should they consider regarding
the inclusion of gate and check valves in the water meter system?
The size of the water meter and the expected water consumption rate
The color and design of the water meter
The location of the water main and the type of plumbing fixtures used
The potential for water contamination and the need for filtration
7. What is the primary function of a water main in a water supply system?
To distribute water to individual fixtures
To supply water from the utility company
To measure water usage
To store water for future use
8. What is the term used to describe the point of supply for water before it enters a
building's plumbing system?
Water Main
Water Meter
Source
Fixture Unit
9. What is the primary function of a plumbing fixture in a water supply system?
To store water for future use
