NOTE: For fixtures not listed, loads should be assumed by comparing the fixture to one listed
using water in similar quantities and at similar rates. The assingned loads for fixtures with both hot
and cold water supplies are given for separate hot and cold water loads and for total load, the sepa-
rate hot and cold water loads being three-fourths of the total load for the fixture in each case.

Notes:
1 Size of the cold branch outlet pipe, or both the hot and cold branch outlet pipes
2 For unlisted fixtures, refer to a listed fixture with a similar flow rate and frequency of use
3 The listed fixture unit values represent their total load on the cold water service The separate cold water and
hot water fixture unit value for fixtures having both cold and hot water connections shall each be taken as three-
qyarters (3/4) of the listed total value of the fixture
4 The listed minimum supply branch pipe sizes for individual fixtures are the nominal (ID) pipe size
5 "General use" applies to business, commercial, industrial, and assembly occupancies other than those defined
under "Heavy-use" Included are the public and common areas in hotels, motels and multi-dwelling buildings
6 "Heavy-use assembly" applies to toilet facilities in occupancies which place a heavy, but intermittent, time-
based demand on the water supply system, such as schools, auditoriums, stadiums, race courses,
transportation terminals, theaters, and similar occupancies where queuing is likely to occur during periods of
peak use
7 For fixtures or supply connections likely to impose continuous flow demands, determine the requied flow in
gallons per minute (GPM) and add it separately to the demand (in GPM) for the distribution system or portions
thereof

GPF: (Galon Per Flush)
