Solvent plumbing systems & BIM
The single stack system:
When we talk about improving plumbing performance in colossal properties, we find the best way to improve it is- Solvent plumbing system. This system accomplishes the function of drainage waste and venting in a single stack, unlike that of the traditional two-stack system. The two-stack systems enable the utilization of waste water directly for irrigation dissimilar to single-stack systems. One pipe in the stack serves for draining and the other serves for ventilation which is why single stack, nowadays, is also preferred more by MEP Bim Services as it is advanced and the installation is easier.
The single stack system eliminates individual fixture vents and therefore minimizes the cost and consume lesser resource. The single stack system saves a lot of time as only one pipe is required to be repaired instead of two; and money as there are fewer pipes to repair or rebuy. This system deals with the flow in the interiors of the pipe to keep pressure excursions from surpassing +/- one-inch of water column (standard for all the drainage systems).
The system contains:
- A vertical stack open to the atmosphere,
- Horizontal branches to each fixture,
- Solvent Aerator fittings,
- Solvent De-aerator fittings.
The primary fitting holds two main elements of the system, the aerator and de-aerator. These fittings utilize hub less connections for assembly management with preserving the acoustical values.
Benefits of single stack systems:
- Saves installation space because there is one stack and no added vents.
- Easier to design with fewer equipment to review.
- Cost effective.
- Requires a reduced amount of pipe & fittings.
- Minimizes water testing, due to less pipe, and related labor.
- Decreases the number of penetrations required.
- Diminishes coordination delays.
- Reduced potential leaks because of the reduced number of joints.
- The designing and planning of plumbing systems gets easier and faster.
- Pneumatic pressure inside the pipe is comparatively low.
