Introduction to general design of domestic service water supply systems - with pressurized or gravity tanks
The purpose with a domestic service water supply system is to provide consumers with enough hot and cold water.
In old buildings it is common with gravity storage tanks on the top floor of the building. More commonly used in new systems are pressurized tanks and supply pumps.
Domestic Water Supply with Gravity Tank
Domestic water supply system with gravity tank:
For proper operation of the system the gravity tank is located at least 30 ft or 10 m above the highest outlet or consumer. In taller buildings pressure reducing valves are required in the lowest floors before the fittings.
The volume of a gravity tank must be designed to compensate for limited capacity of a supply line. The tank fills up when the consumption of hot and cold water is lower than the capacity of the supply line - and the tank is emptied when the consumption is higher than the capacity of the supply line.
A drawback with the open gravity tank on the top floor is the potential danger of freezing during winter conditions. Huge tanks will also influence on the construction of the building.
Domestic Water Supply with a Pressurized Tank
Domestic water supply system with pressurized tank:
The pressurized tank is partly filled with air (or gas) behind a membrane. The air compensates for pressure variations during consumption and when supply pump starts and stops.
A pressurized tank has a limited compensating capacity for the shortage in a main supply line.

Also see installation, noise and air locks, pipe jointing systems, and valves and controls.
As well as avoiding contamination and achieving the right pressure and flow, the system must be suitable for the temperature of water carried. A well-designed and installed system will also be durable, minimise noise from water flow and from problems such as water hammer, and support efficient use of water.
All water supply systems use a combination of pipes (of different dimensions and materials), valves and outlets to deliver water to building users. Some water supply systems also use storage tanks and pumps. Designing a water supply system involves getting all of these elements right so that clean water is delivered to the user at the appropriate rate and temperature.
Water pressure
If the aim is to provide for building users� needs while also using water efficiently, the right water pressure is crucial. If water pressure is too low, this will be inconvenient for building users � for example, because showers have poor water flow, and baths take a long time to fill. If pressure is too high, this will lead to wastage of water, as well as high wear and tear on the system.
Typically, new buildings in areas with mains water supply will have mains pressure systems. Existing buildings, and buildings that are not connected to mains water, may have low pressure systems or unequal pressure systems (with different pressures for hot and cold water supply).
As an example of the difference in water usage, a low pressure hot water system shower flow may average about 7 litres per minute, while a mains pressure shower may average around 12�20 litres per minute.
Mains pressure systems require pressure limiting and pressure reducing valves to control water pressure and temperature. Typically, pressure limiting or pressure reducing valves will be used to control pressure in mains-supplied hot water systems or where high pressure may lead to problems such as burst pipes.
Low pressure systems require few valves or controls. In low or unequal pressure systems, pressure can be increased to adequate levels by storing water in a header tank (typically in the ceiling space) so that gravity can be used to create water pressure. If a tank is being used, see the BRANZ publications Water and Plumbing for details of installation requirements.
Pressure can also be raised to adequate levels using a pressurising pump, in which case it may be necessary to use pressure limiting and pressure reducing valves.
Water flow rate
The Building Code requires that sanitary fixtures and appliances have adequate water supply at an adequate flow rate.
As with water pressure, flow rates are crucial. A flow rate that is too high will result in water being wasted, whereas a flow rate that is too low will mean that sanitary fixtures and appliances don�t work properly.
Flow rate is affected by: Doodle godunblocked evrything.
- Water pressure
- Pipe diameters � The smaller the internal diameter of the pipe, the lower the pressure and flow rate. (Note that pipes are generally referred to by their inside nominal diameter (DN), but it is actually the internal diameter that counts; a pipe rated as DN 15 may have an actual inside diameter ranging between 10�18 mm.)
- Water temperature � higher temperatures will tend to raise pressure and flow rates (note: also see materials below).
A flow regulator can be used to maintain a constant flow, independent of water pressure. As an example, if someone is in the shower and the kitchen tap is turned on full, the temperature and flow are likely to remain more stable if a flow regulator is used.
Limiting the flow for a tap or appliance to a reasonable rate helps balance the available pressure throughout the system. Regulating flow allows a simpler design and minimum pipe sizes as peak flow rates can be specified accurately and can also reduce noise, splashing taps, and water hammer.
Manufacturers� recommendations must be referred to for pressure and flow information when selecting tempering valves and outlets (taps, mixers and shower heads).
Flow rate can also be controlled by specifying low-flow outlets.
Flow rate and pipe size Acceptable Solutions
Building Code Acceptable Solution G12/AS1 sets out flow rates and pipe sizes. Pipes must be sized to achieve flow rates set out in accordance with Table 3 (see table below), or the pipes must be sized in accordance with Table 4.
When calculating pipe size, the speed of the water (velocity) moving through the pipes must not exceed 3.0 m/s.
Acceptable flow rates for fixtures and appliances | |
Fixture | Flow rate (l/s) and temperature °C |
Basin | 0.1 at 45 °C |
Bath | 0.3 at 45°C |
Sink | 0.2 at 60°C (hot) and 0.2 (cold) |
Shower | 0.1 at 42°C |
Laundry tub | 0.2 at 60°C (hot) and 0.2 (cold) |
Dishwasher and washing machine | 0.20 |
Adapted from G12/AS1 Table 3 |
The flow rates in Table 3 must be capable of being delivered simultaneously to the kitchen sink and one other fixture.

System layout
In the design process, the layout of the plumbing system will largely follow room layout. Nonetheless, there are many things to consider which relate to Code compliance, building users� comfort, and sustainability.
New Developments For Nsm Design Water Supply System Diagram
When planning a water supply layout, the following must be considered:
- Pipe runs and lengths � Keep pipe runs as short as possible. Pass pipes close to fixtures to minimise the number of branches and unnecessary elbows, tees and joints. Having longer pipe runs and more fixtures will reduce flow rate, increase heat losses, and increase use of materials
- Point of entry into the building � This should be into a utility space such as garage/laundry and include an accessible isolating valve, line strainer and pressure limiting valve (if required)
- Water heating system � Locate centrally to reduce the length of pipe runs to fixtures because longer pipe runs require more water to be drawn off before hot water is discharged. Install a separate point-of-use water heater for fixtures that are more than 10 m from the main water heater
- Noise prevention � Avoid running pipes over or near bedrooms and living areas.
Backflow
New Developments For Nsm Design Water Supply System Wikipedia
Backflow is the unplanned reversal of flow of water (or water and contaminants) into the water supply system. The system must be designed and used to prevent contamination from backflow. Dj quik rhythm al ism download zip. See backflow prevention for more.
Mains connection
Where the water source is a mains supply, the network utility operator is responsible for the water supplied to the property boundary. The property owner is then responsible for providing the pipework to bring the water into the building.
An isolating valve must be fitted at the point of connection to allow for maintenance and repair of the building�s water supply system if required.
Pipe materials and specifications
The pipes used in a building must not contaminate potable water supply, and must be suitable for the water pressure, flow rate and temperature of water they will be carrying. This will be influenced by the materials used and also by other factors such as the wall thickness.
Other considerations are durability, ease of installation, cost, and sustainability. Common materials for domestic water supply include copper, polybutylene (PB), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP-3 or PP Type 3), and cross-linked polyethylene (PEX).
