Domestic Water Piping Calculator
Quickly size domestic water piping
With a 100% Money Back Guarantee
There are two parts to the Domestic Water Piping Calculator. The (1) Custom Quick Sizing Tables and (2) the Domestic Water Pressure Calculator. The (1) Custom Quick Sizing tables are automatically created to match any designers situation, whether it be a system with predominantly Tank or Flush Valve fixtures or a copper piping system or any other piping material. The designer can also customize the acceptable velocities and pressure drops, in order to easily see what size domestic water pipe is suitable for any WSFU value.
The (2) Domestic Water Pressure calculator is designed to be comprehensive to apply to nearly all domestic water designs, but also simple and easy to use. The interface is in excel format which makes it easy for anyone to quickly learn. You are able to add in extra rows to your pressure drop calculation similar to how you would with excel. Inputting data is simple and intuitive, just follow the examples within the calculator. Change pipe material, pipe sizes, attached fixtures and add valves or fittings to each pipe run and have the calculator automatically determine the pressure drop through the run, along with velocity, Reynolds number and much more.
The references that create the basis of this calculator are also editable such that you can customize roughness values or add-in pipe sizes. However, if you do not feel comfortable making changes, then simply email me and I will customize the spreadsheet to suit your needs.
The calculator also beautifully prints to a standard 8.5 x 11 format for your basis of design or other design report appendix.
Hawaii general excise tax is not included in the cost below and will be added to the final cost.

Instruction Manual
Download the instruction manual and whitepaper Domestic Water Piping Calculator - Whitepaper. Learn about the design experience and equations behind the calculator. The calculator has an instruction manual specifically on the calculator and how to use the calculator, but this PDF also includes design instructions.
BASIC INPUTS
The calculator starts by taking the basic information like the approximate water temperature, initial pressure, initial elevation, final elevation and the minimum pressure at the most hydraulically remote fixture.
PRESSURE OUTPUTS
The calculator will automatically output the pressure loss due to piping, fittings, miscellaneous equipment and calculate the pressure at the most hydraulically remote fixture. Then it will compare the final pressure to the required pressure. If the require pressure is greater, then a booster pump will be required.
PIPE SECTION INPUTS
For each pipe section, you can quickly select the pipe material, type, size, fittings and the fixtures fed by the pipe section. This will determine the velocity, Reynolds number and pressure loss within the pipe section.
INSTRUCTIONS
The calculator comes with detailed instructions to answer any questions you may have. The instructions are color coordinated to match with the cells within the calculator.
QUICK SIZING TABLE
The calculator also will automatically create a quick sizing table that you can print out and use when you go through your isometric or layout to quickly size your domestic water piping.
WATER SUPPLY FIXTURE UNITS
The calculator is currently based off of the International Plumbing Code Water Supply Fixture Units table. However, you can easily change these values to match your specific county, state, city or local code. All references are easily editable and intuitive.
WSFU TO GPM
This table shows the conversion between WSFU to GPM, which is from the IPC.
MANY PIPE TYPES
There are many pipe materials and pipe types within each pipe material. The calculator includes, ABS, Ductile Iron, Stainless Steel, PEX, Polyethylene, CPVC, Galvanized Steel, Polypropylene, Brass, PVC, Copper and much more. The pipe types also include SIDR, SDR and Schedule types.
