 Plumbing is the art and technique of installing pipes, fixtures and other apparatus to convey and supply water in buildings and to dispose and discharge waste water and other liquids, gases and other substances out of the building in a safe orderly, healthy and sanitary way to ensure the health and sanitation of life and property.  The word Plumber is a title given to a person who is skilled in the field of sanitation. It was derived from the ancient Roman word Plumbarius which is taken from the Latin term word Plumbum.  Plumbarius refers to an individual who worked in the sanitary field of ancient Rome.  Plumbum on the other hand, meant lead. A metal used as plumbing materials by romans, preferred for its twin properties of malleability and resistance to acid.

CONDITIONS FOR AN EFFECTIVE WATER SUPPLY IN BUILDING:

1. TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF WATER SUPPLY EACH FIXTURE
2. TO PREVENT BACK FLOW OF USED WATER INTO THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM.

PLUMBING IN THE PHILIPPINES

• IN 1902, THE PLUMBING TRADE WAS DULY RECOGNIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN THE CITY OF MANILA.
• MASTER PLUMBER JOHN F. HAAS BECAME THE FIRST CHIEF OF THE DIVISION PLUMBING CONSTRUCTION AND INSPECTION.
• A PLUMBING CODE BASED ON THE PLUMBING CODE OF THE UNITED STATES WAS INCORPORATE INTO THE BUILDING CODE FOR THE CITY OF MANILA.

WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM A PLUMBING SYSTEM IS TO DELIVER WATER TO ALL CUSTOMERS OF THE SYSTEM IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITY FOR PORTABLE DRINKING WATER AND FIRE PROTECTION PURPOSES, AT THE APPROPRIATE PRESSURE, WITH MINIMAL LOSS, OF SAFE AND ACCEPTABLE QUALITY AND AS ECONOMICALLY AS POSSIBLE

FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM THIS SYSTEM INCLUDES FIRE SUPPRESSION, SPRINKLERS, SMOKE DETECTORS, AND OTHER FIRE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT THAT WORKS IN TANDEM TO PROTECT AGAINST FIRE. IT IS THE BEST TO WORK WITH A FIRE PROTECTION COMPANY THAT UNDERSTANDS THE NEEDS OF YOUR PROPERTY AND PROVIDES A VARIETY OF INTEGRATED PROTECTION SYSTEM.

SANITARY DRAINAGE SYSTEM A SANITARY DRAINAGE SYSTEM IS A SYSTEM OF PIPING WITHIN PUBLIC OR PRIVATE PREMISES THAT CONVEYS SEWAGE OR OTHER LIQUID WASTE TO AN APPROVED POINT OF DISPOSAL. THE INTENTS IS TO DESIGN AND INSTALL SANITARY DRAINAGE SYSTEM THAT WILL FUNCTION RELIABLY, ARE NEITHER UNDERSIZED NOR OVERSIZED, AND ARE CONSTRUCTED FROM MATERIALS, FITTINGS AND CONNECTIONS WHOSE QUALITY IS REGULATED BY CODES AND STANDARDS.

STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM IT’S A NETWORKS OF STRUCTURES, CHANNELS AND UNDERGROUND PIPES THAT CARRY WATER( RAIN WATER) TO PONDS, LAKES, STREAMS, AND RIVERS. THE NETWORKS CONSISTS OF BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SYSTEM.

• ALL PREMISES INTENDED FOR HUMAN USE OR HABITATION SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH SUPPLY

OF PURE AND WHOLESOME WATER, NEITHER CONNECTED TO UNSAFE WATER SUPPLY NOR

SUBJECT TO BACKFLOW.

• PLUMBING FIXTURES, DEVICES AND SHALL BE SUPPLIED WITH WATER INSUFFICIENT VOLUME

AND PRESSURE ADEQUATE TO FUNCTION SATISFACTORILY AND WITHOUT UNDUE NOISE.

• PLUMBING SHALL BE DESIGNED AND ADJUSTED TO USE THE MINIMUM QUANTITY OF WATER

CONSISTENT WITH PROPER PERFORMANCE OF CLEANING DEVICES FOR HEATING AND

STORING WATER SHALL BE SO DESIGNED AND INSTALLED AS TO PREVENT DANGERS FROM

EXPLOSION THROUGH OVERHEATING.

• EVERY BUILDING ABUTTING ON A STREET, ALLEYOR EASEMENT WITH PUBLIC SEWER SHALL

CONNECT ITS PLUMBING FIXTURE TO THE SEWER SYSTEM.

• PROPER PROTECTION SHALL BE PROVIDED TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF FOOD, WATER,

STERILE GOODS AND SIMILAR MATERIALS BY BACKFLOW OF SEWAGE. WHEN NECESSARY, THE

FIXTURE, DEVICE OR APPLIANCE SHALL BE CONNECTED INDIRECTLY WITH THE BUILDING

DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

• NO WATER CLOSET SHALL BE LOCATED IN ROOM OR COMPARTMENT WHICH IS NOT

PROPERLY LIGHTED AND VENTILATED.

• PLUMBING SYSTEM SHALL BE MAINTAINED IN SERVICEABLE CONDITION BY REGISTERED MATER

PLUMBERS.

• ALL PLUMBING SHALL BE INSTALLED WITH DUE REGARD TO THE PRESERVATION OF THE

STRENGTH OF STRUCTURAL MEMBERS AND THE PREVENTION OF DAMAGE TO WALLS AND

OTHER SURFACES THROUGH FIXTURE USAGE.
