What is Pipe Sizing?

Calculate plumbing pipe sizes based on fixture units

Technical Overview

Size your internal and external plumbing lines with confidence. Using the Fixture Unit (FU) method, this tool determines the required pipe diameters to maintain adequate pressure and flow throughout your building.

Common Questions

1
What is a Fixture Unit (FU)?

A Fixture Unit is a dimensionless factor used in plumbing to represent the maximum load produced by different types of plumbing fixtures (e.g., a toilet has a higher FU than a washbasin).

2
How is pipe diameter determined?

It is based on the total accumulated fixture units and the available water pressure, ensuring the velocity stays within recommended limits (typically 1.5 to 2.4 m/s).
