Introductory Message
Welcome to TLE 10 – ICT (Technical Drafting)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Antique and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through
the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to
guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping the
learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 10 – ICT (Technical Drafting) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate
the leaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will
be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent
learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 10 – ICT (Technical Drafting) Activity Sheet is developed to help

you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides
you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and
answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

Draft Water Distribution System

I. Learning Competency with Code

LO1. Draft water distribution system
(TLE_ICTTD9-12SC-IVa-1)

1.1 Draft hot and cold water distribution systems according to

Plumbing and Water Codes.
1.2 Layout electronic and communication devices according to
electrical drafting requirements.

II. Background Information for Learners

This module is designed to familiarize students with the concept of sanitary

disposal of waste and the principle of introducing clean water in to the residential
unit from source. It will also help the students understand the intricacy of designing
and planning a sanitary plumbing and sewerage layout. It also familiarizes them
with the different abbreviations and symbols used in the drafting of sanitary and
plumbing layout, the materials used for its construction and the different kinds of
fittings intended for a sound construction of the layout.

After going through this lesson, you are expected to:

• Draft hot and cold water distribution systems according to Plumbing and
Water Codes; and
• Indicate signs and symbols according to sanitary and plumbing
requirements.

Draft Water Distribution Systems

Water distribution systems for residential and commercial buildings are conveyed
thru pipes, a PVC, Cast Iron or G.I. pipe.
Hot and cold water is supplied to the buildings by a series of pipes connected from the
source under pressure to the building fixtures thru a water line distribution system.

Pipes used for water line distribution systems may be classified as:
1. Steel and wrought iron pipe
2. Cast iron pipe
3. Seamless brass and copper pipe
4. Copper tubing
5. Special pipes such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride),Aluminum and Stainless Steel pipes,
and CPV’C (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride ) pipe

 Water main refers to the public sewer system along the streets, or laid
underground where the service to the house is connected. Water coming from it is
under pressure but normally could serve only houses of moderate height. Otherwise, a
pump is installed to augment the pressure, pressure is the force required to move the
water inside the pipe.

The size of the service pipe is governed by the demand for water, maximum
demand is one factor, or the maximum water discharge for plumbing fixtures and the
probable demand is another, which is the peak demand or peak load.

Connection of Pipes

Pipes are connected by methods dependent upon the material and the demands
of service. Steel, brass or bronze pipes are normally threaded and screwed into
coupling and fitting. Fittings are used to join adjacent lengths of pipes and to provide
changes of direction, and branch connections at any angle and to effect a change in
size.

Connections
1. Threaded connections
2. Soldered fittings
3. Connection by bolded flanges
4. Solvent cement weld connections

Common types of fittings

1. Screwed fittings
2. Welded joints
3. Flanged joints
4. Solder joints
5. Slip fittings (for plastic pipes)

Valves
1. Gate valves
2. Globe valves
3. Check valves
4. Pressure reducing valves
5. Safety valves

Valves are specified by giving the nominal size, material and ride.

Kinds of Fittings

1. Elbows are used to change direction of a pipeline either 90 degrees or 45 degrees

2. Tee connects three pipes
3. Cross connects four pipes
4. Couplings are used to connect straight section pipes
5. Reducers are used to connect straight section pipes of different sizes.
6. Nipples are short pieces of pipes threaded on both ends and classified as close
nipple and short nipple.
7. Cap is used to close the end of a pipe.
8. Plug is used to close an opening in a fitting
9. Bushing is used to reduce the size of an opening.
10. Unions are used to close systems and to connect pipes that are to be disassembled
occasionally.

5
Systems of Drawing Pipe Layout
1. Scale Layout are used for large pipes
2. Diagrammatic lay out are used for architectural plans.

IV. Activity Proper

Suggested Activity: Drafting the Auxiliary System Plan

Directions: Based on your residential building/house layout/draw your water distribution

system starting from main source of water up to the water disposal. Label the kinds of
fittings and fixtures being used in your plan.
Note: Use long-size of bond paper and don’t forget to draw the title blocks and border before you start in
planning.

Home-based Project

Analyze the actual water distribution system of your own home. Assess what is needed
to improve based on your competencies about water distribution system. For week 1 &
2, please write down your assessments.
