    Explanation
    The answer 2.5, 4 indicates the water flow rate for a water closet (economical flush) in both private and public settings. This means that the water closet uses 2.5 liters per flush in private settings and 4 liters per flush in public settings. The higher water flow rate in public settings is likely due to the higher usage and need for more efficient flushing to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.

    Minimum Trap/ trap arm size and DFU of drinking fountain?

    • 31 mm, 1

    • 32 mm, 2

    • 38 mm, 2

    • 51 mm, 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 31 mm, 1
    Explanation
    The minimum trap/trap arm size and DFU of a drinking fountain is 31 mm and 1, respectively. This means that the trap and trap arm of the drinking fountain should have a minimum diameter of 31 mm, and it can handle a Drainage Fixture Unit (DFU) value of 1. The DFU value is a measure of the potential load that a plumbing fixture or group of fixtures can put on a drainage system. In this case, the drinking fountain has a relatively small drain size and a low DFU value, indicating that it has a lower water flow and waste load compared to larger fixtures.

    What is used to discharge waste pool water to the drainage system?

    • Tank

    • Waste pipe

    • Sump pit

    • Pump

    Correct Answer
    A. Pump
    Explanation
    A pump is used to discharge waste pool water to the drainage system. Pumps are mechanical devices that create pressure and force water to move from one location to another. In the context of a pool, a pump is responsible for circulating and filtering the water. When it comes to discharging waste water, a pump is necessary to push the water out of the pool and into the drainage system. Therefore, a pump is the correct answer for this question.

    Diameter of individual vent is _________ diameter of the drain

    • 1" - 2"

    • 1/3"- 1 1/2"

    • 1/4" - 1 1/8"

    • 1/2" - 1 1/4"

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/2" - 1 1/4"
    Explanation
    The diameter of the individual vent is typically smaller than the diameter of the drain. This is because the vent is responsible for allowing air to enter the plumbing system, preventing airlock and ensuring proper drainage. A smaller diameter vent can effectively perform this function without obstructing the flow of water. The range of 1/2" - 1 1/4" indicates the typical sizes for individual vents in plumbing systems.
