    The document discusses methods for calculating water fixture units and sizing water pipes using tables 6-5, 6-6, and 6-7 from the Uniform Plumbing Code.

    Fixture units are calculated by multiplying the quantity of each fixture by its fixture unit value from the tables. The total fixture unit count is the sum of all fixtures.

    Water pipe sizing is determined by the total fixture unit count, developed length, and residual pressure taking into account factors like high/low supply pressure and elevation of outlets above the water meter.
