    Qn: Show by means of a sketch, a typical direct cold water supply system within a dwelling-
    house.

    For efficient operation, a high pressure water supply is essential particularly at periods of peak
    demand. Pipework is minimal and the storage cistern supplying the hot water cylinder need only
    have 115 litres capacity. The cistern may be located within the airing cupboard or be combined
    with the hot water cylinder. Drinking water is available at every draw-off point and maintenance
    valves should be fitted to isolate each section of pipework. With every outlet supplied from the
    main, the possibility of back siphonage must be considered. Back siphonage can occur when
    there is a high demand on the main. Negative pressure can then draw water back into the main
    from a submerged inlet, e.g. a rubber tube attached to a tap or a shower fitting without a check
    valve facility left lying in dirty bath water.
    The larger the pipe diameter of the pipe(22mm) used the lower the pressure required and the
    smaller the diameter of the pipe(15mm) the higher the pressure required to the supply the cold
    water. The rising main has a small diameter pipe(15mm) since there’s high pressure required to
    supply water to other fixtures in the house like the basins, baths, WC and also feeding the cold
    water cistern.
