hinged cover or extending the top cover with counter.

The following material, the one approved by code for cleanout plugs in a cast iron drainage system is
brass.

No cleanout required for trap arms 76mm in diameter, the change of direction not exceeding 22 ½
degrees.

In designing plumbing plans, what shall be a registered master plumber remembered first when plotting
cleanouts, except? Cleanouts in underfloor piping shall be extended outside the building when there is
less than 17inches (18 inches or 450 mm) vert. clearance or 28 inches (30 inches or 750 mm) hor.
Clearance to the means of access.

Cleanouts shall be provided for a pressure drainage system. True

To allow cleaning of the soil and waste line each cleanout should be installed in the direction of flow.

Countersunk – a kind of cleanout plugs that will be installed in case where raised heads may cause
hazards to passing personnel or vehicles.

Well:

Artesian well – a well that passes though one or more sources impervious strata and penetrates a water
hearing stratum in which water is held under pressure and water rises in the well.
Flowing well – the top of the well is lower that the high position of the previous stratum from which the
water is obtained and water will rise through the entire length of the well and way flow from the wall
without pumping.

Dug well – can be constructed with hand tools or power tools depth of about 15 meters (50 ft) can have
the greatest diameter that a space may allow.

Dry well – the type of sewage lift station houses the pumps and motors in a different compartment than
the one that receives the waste water.

The design, construction and operation of deep well for the abstraction of groundwater in accordance
with the criteria set by water code.

What provision does the design, construction and operation of deep wells for the abstraction of ground
water will have to follow? Water Code of the Philippines

Water Treatment:

Coagulation – the process of water supply purification which consists of applying certain chemicals in
particles too small to be removed by plain sedimentation.

Flocculation – the physical process in which the sediment particles collide with each other and stick
together.

Floe – the jelly like substance being formed in the process of coagulation.

Sedimentation – a method of purifying water wherein particles of matters that are suspend in the water
are allowed to stay in a container so that they will settle in the bottom then drawing the water out,
leaving these matters in the container.

– is the chief factor in clarification of still water since particles of solid materials will settle
more readily in still than flowing water.

The maximum percentage of the suspended solid of the sewage is removed largely by sedimentation to
form a semi–liquid substance is 70%.

Aeration – the process of exposing water in their films to the oxygen of the atmosphere in order to
remove neutralize the taste, order and dissolved oxygen.

Filtration – this process Is the removal of silt and dirt in the water.

Filter – a device or structure, above or below the ground used for removing soil or colloidal materials of
a type that cannot be remove by sedimentation.

Ozonation – this is less esthetic than aeration but more certain oxidation process. It is commonly used in
cooling treatment and in addition ozonation has very wide range of treatment application.

Reverse Osmosis – the stage in water purification, which removes mineral deposits, salts, heavy metal,
totally dissolve solids while some useful minerals are retained.

Chlorination – a water treatment processes designed to destroy disease–causing microorganisms. Is

The used disinfections large public water supply is chlorine.

The important advantage of chlorine compared to other water supply treatment is to kill bacteria.

Algae – the cause of object taste and odor of water.

Electrolysis – it is added to water to reduce salinity.

Infiltration – the movement of water to the surface of a soil and into the soil below the surface.

The amount of waste discharged for a waste water treatment facility is 500 gpm.

Classification of water:

The classification of water when it contains dissolved salts of calcium and magnesium is Hard.

The water hardness is measured by Ounce of hardness.

The process of removing the hardness causing minerals from water is water softening.

What is the good reason why hardness in water is objectionable? Scaling of boilers

When heat is applied to water; molecular activity intensified and such particle expand in itself, followed
by the change in behavior. Increases the volume

Mineral that makes water hard is the water that diminishes the capacity of water to form lather with
soap.

Wrench:

Strap wrench – is the type of wrench used in working with plated finish and in place with ton small in
admit pipe wrench.

Stillson wrench – a variation of pipe wrench with a swiveling serrated jaw and knurled control knob
located between the frame forming the head and the handled of the wrench.

Compound leverage wrench – a unique type of pipe wrench in which turning force applied is multiplied.
The principle of lever action in a simple machine had been applied in this type of patented plumbing
tools.

Chain wrench – a type of wrench having a heavy sprocket chain that is slipped around a pipe and then
attached to the wrench handled. It is used on piping work especially large size pipe metal pipes and in
areas that is not easily accessible.

Hex wrench – a wrench with hexagonal jaw which is multisided, used to provide secure grip on all
hexagonal nuts, square nuts, unions and valve packing nuts. The extra–wide opening offset is ideal for
securing drain nut on sticks and tubs.
Rap wrench – it has a deeper and broader hook jaw housing which provided a smooth, flat surface that
is may be used be occasionally used as a hammer.

Torque wrench – a type of wrench uses to assemble hubless joint.

Allen wrench – a wrench for screws with hexagonally shaped recess in its head.

Offset pipe wrench – another variation of pipe wrench featuring a jaw opening parallel to the handle
and a narrower hook jaw which provided easy entry into tight space.

End pipe wrench – a tool fast and easy grip used in constricted spaces or close to a wall. It has solid
housing which keeps it from breaking or wrapping under normal use.

Basin wrench – is used to remove square and octagonally shaped threaded faucets. It has right angle bar
with one end for square nuts and other octagonal.

– it is a special tool designed to reach the hex jam nut beneath a fixture.

Monkey wrench – the type of wrench uses for screwing bolt and insert for valve with hexagonal end.
