Pro Tips

  • Drainage pipes need minimum fall: 1:60 for 100mm, 1:40 for 65mm
  • PEX is increasingly popular for residential water supply — cheaper and faster to install
  • All plumbing work must be done by a licensed plumber in Australia
  • Fixture unit values: toilet=4, basin=1, shower=2, kitchen sink=2
