Water and sewer cap detail
I have been asked to ‘clearly show’ how the the water and sewer lines are being capped on a drinking fountain that is being removed for a plumbing drawing. Can anyone link me to a detail to that effect if it exists. Never been asked to supply such a thing, I assumed it was a pretty straightforward procedure.
It is ,draw the wall.Indicate the drain line,and the water line.Draw in a sch4o cap on the dwv,and a pressure cap on the water supply behind the wall thickness.Good Luck.THIS part is for the stickler inspector,the line of water that feeds this capped unit should terminate at as close as is possible to it’s origin.This makes things harder but should be done to protect the rest of the water supply system. Since the pool is clean and i have nothing else to do .If the waste line is not deep enough in the wall,or the branch arm dose not expose enough pipe to allow for capping.You must remove the sanitary tee ,and connect the waste vent pipe without the tee.Locating the supply origin is a little more complicated.It will most often come from the most central cold supply manifold.Some times this rule of thumb may be remiss .The plumber would have looked to supply this low flow fixture from the nearest code compliant source possible.that manifold would be the best place to cap the line.Again Good Luck.
