Pipe Sizes for Plumbing Plans

It's important to realize pipe sizes must be correct to avoid clogs. Certain fixtures require minimum pipe sizes.

As an illustration, showers need to have a 2-inch drain pipe.

Residential toilets require a minimum 3-inch drain pipe.

Fixture Units Add Up

Another key point is that plumbing drain pipes can only handle so much water flow.

Engineering studies determined many years ago the average amount of water discharged in X seconds by common plumbing fixtures.

These common fixtures in a house are:

• toilets
• kitchen sinks
• vanity sinks
• tubs
• shower stalls
• washing machines
• floor drains

The first thing to remember as you draw plumbing plans is to keep track of the fixture units so you know when to upsize to the next larger drain line.
