This document specifies the water supply pipe sizing for studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, and 3 bedroom apartments based on fixture units. For a studio apartment with total fixture units of 6.9, a 32mm PPR pipe is required. For a 1 bedroom with 11 fixture units, a 32mm pipe is also sufficient. A 2 bedroom with 15.1 fixture units requires a 40mm pipe. Finally, a 3 bedroom with 17.8 fixture units needs a 50mm water supply main pipe. The pipe sizing is determined according to the International Plumbing Code chart based on fixture quantities and water demand in gallons per minute.
