James DELOURME: Sanitary installation teacher at the Lycée Maximilien-Perret adult education center
INTRODUCTION
The distribution and evacuation of domestic and industrial water requires knowledge of regulations, and in particular the use of calculation rules to evaluate supply flows and determine the diameters of evacuation pipes.
In this article, we'll look at the distribution of mains water and the devices required for correct supply and discharge. The various pipes and their conditions of use, as well as the sanitary appliances to be installed, will be described in detail. A case study will provide a concrete approach to installations.
