How to install plumbing in a house? Materials used for plumbing installations: Cast iron PVC PPR Copper CPVC PPR or polypropylene piping was used in this video. Step 1. Identify the Water Inlet To begin the installation, you need to know the location of the water inlet. To identify it, look for the globe and nose valves, located after the meter. Step 2. Locate the Fixtures To do this, use the project or house plans to identify the fixtures that require water supply. Keep in mind that in some constructions, the bathroom and kitchen must be built close together, so that all the plumbing runs through the same wall, which will avoid additional costs. Step 3. Route the inlet pipe to the water tank Locate the water tank at the top of the house, 50 cm above the roof slab and two meters above the shower head, to ensure pressure. Before the water enters the water tank, install a globe valve to control its supply. The inlet pipe is 13 millimeters in diameter, and the outlet to the cabinets is 19 millimeters in diameter, and it must also have a globe valve. Note: You must consider the location of the water tank on the roof, as the weight of the water contained in the tank is an important factor to consider when assembling the slab. Step 4. Locate the water heater or boiler If you use a water heater, it should be located in an open area and never inside the house. Avoid unventilated areas and make sure it has a safety valve. The 13-millimeter diameter pipe runs from the heater to the cabinets that require hot water. Step 5. Cabinet outlet For the toilet, the supply pipe comes from the downspout of the water tank and must be reduced from 19 millimeters to 13 millimeters. The outlet is located on the wall behind the toilet, at a height of 38 cm. Note: Slot the walls to accommodate the pipe. For the sink installation, the supply pipe comes from the downpipe of the water tank and the heater; it must be reduced from 19 millimeters to 13 millimeters. The outlet is located on the back wall of the sink, at a height of 79 cm. Note: Slot the walls to accommodate the pipe. For the installation of other fixtures, the outlet heights are: Shower: Faucets at 1.37 m height and the shower at 2 m height, with a diameter of 13 millimeters. Sink: Outlet at 90 cm height and a diameter of 13 millimeters. Laundry room: Outlet at 90 cm height and a diameter of 13 mm. Now you know how to install plumbing in a house!
