Where can you determine the capacity of a plumbing fixture from prints?

The capacity of a plumbing fixture can be determined through the specifications or notes provided in the prints. Specifications are detailed descriptions that outline the performance characteristics and requirements of fixtures, including their capacity. Notes add further clarity by including necessary information that may not be depicted visually on the drawings themselves.

Graphical illustrations primarily serve to represent the fixtures’ designs and their placements but may not provide specific capacity details. The title block of a drawing usually contains general project information such as the name, date, and drawing number, rather than technical specifications about individual fixtures. Color codes might be used for categorizing different systems or types of utilities in a drawing but are not reliable indicators of the capacity of plumbing fixtures. Thus, the specifications or notes are the most accurate source for obtaining capacity information directly related to plumbing fixtures from the prints.
