The next step of designing my house is to make the plumbing plan. This included the cold and hot water piping, plumbing fixtures, sanitary piping, and gas piping. I started with the main house drain, connecting them to the drains of each fixture. Then I drew the main hot water and cold water pipes and determined thier widths. I had to connect smaller pipes to the required fixtures that needed them. The pipes that go off of the main pipes had a smaller width, so instead of a 3/4" pipe it is a 1/2" pipe. The cold water pipe ended outside of the house as a hose bib. Hot water pipes connect to the water heater in the service area. I needed less gas piping in the house because it only connected to the fire place and the meter outside of it. The piping was 3/4" wide and made of iron. Shut offs were put in places that required one, for example I placed one for both the hot water and cold water piping in front of the washing machine.

The Plumbing Plan |
The fixture plan was made to organize which plumbing fixture I have choosen. In total I have
choosen eighteen fixtures to be placed inside the house. These include the sinks, tubs, washer, dryer, dishwasher, and faucets.
