Learn How To Read PLUMBING Drawings!

Learn how to read plumbing construction drawings in this video. I'll explain how I approach reading a set of plumbing construction drawings (put together by a plumbing engineer) as well as focusing in water, storm, sanitary, and gas piping details. I'll also briefly explain how plumbing is related to architectural, mechanical, electrical, and much more. Enjoy!

Subscribed. Thanks for the knowledge. You did a great job. I’m a union plumber fourth year and reading plans makes me feel stupid I don’t have a good spacial brain.

[@planandspec]

Thanks @MatthewCashew3! I'm right there with you, complex projects turn my brain into mush sometimes. So don't feel stupid - the more projects we're on the easier it gets.

Thank you so much for this! Any chance you can explain mechanical and electrical drawings?

[@planandspec]

Yes, I'll be doing those in the future 😀

[@amitsavadatti7974]

Could you please let me know what SWPPP is. Does it come under storm water piping or is it just a prevention plan ie , kind of permit

[@OriginalMrtz]

SWPPP plans are required by the EPA and are regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm water program. A plan is required for all construction projects/activities (including other land-disturbing activities) that disturb one acre or more. Construction storm water runoff has been determined to cause environmental damage to our rivers, lakes, and coastal waters in the form of animal, plant, and fish destruction; sedimentation and erosion; and pollution. While these issues are addressed in the storm water management plan, they must also comply with the Clean Water Act.

[@amitsavadatti7974]

@@OriginalMrtz Thank you for the answer. I had a payment application which mentioned SWPPP cost. Does it include the storm water piping cost. Could you please tell me what costs are buried under SWPPP cost.
