CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
th
In the late 19 century when indoor plumbing began being installed into homes, people had to
make rooms for their toilet that were to be installed, since it was one place into the home that
had indoor water, it was called the ‘ Water closet’ fun fault modern day building codes still
refers to designation.
Water closet is plumbing texture fitted with a seat and device for flushing the bowl and trap
made in one piece, which is connected to the city water and server system or other approved
Water closet come in various shape, designs and colors. The device is design for waste
properly in a sanitary sewer system. Most water closet have various designs features which

FUNCTIONS.
The water closet is academic sanitary waste product which is used as toilet, this kind of toilet is
more hygiene and easy to clean. The toilet which is designed to sit known as water closet.
Usually sitting height of the water closet will be 400mm of (16 inches) is not going to be away
some but its standard height preferred when designing a water closet toilet, water closet is
attached by a tank for flushing, the water, the tank can be made of plastic material or cement
mostly plastic seat and cover will be connected with the water closet.

The most modern toilet system on the market; is the double cyclone toilet system. The toilet
system has two nozzles that direct more water to the system or siphon crabbing more powerful

A toilet system like this is made with big trap ways meant to make water from each trap. The
method used in its toilet flush system involves forcing water into the toilet bowl. The waste is
then taken out with the water via the trap. It usually has a gurgling sound which is caused by the

valve. This kind of flush valve are designed depending on the toilet.

Stuff a ray into the pipe to block sewer gas and mount hard care from failing in.

Push the collar until its slobs are pushed to the right and left of the hole.
Secure the collar to the flow with stainless steel screws slow enough to bite into the sub- floor.

c. Solder the stop valve
Shut off the both rooms supply value.
Place a bucket beneath supply line then sever the line with a tubing cutter. Level about
inch of pipe to attach the stop valve and remove the valve handle and steam.
Dry the pipe and outside with ray. Clean the inside and outside of the pipe and the inside
of the valve inlet using wire brush pipe cleaner apply the both areas.

2.7 HOW FLUSHING CISTERN OPERATES
As washer rises inside the cistern and inside the siphon, it compress the air under the
dome which creates pressure to prevent the water rising any further inside the siphon.
As the level continuous to rise outside the siphon, the pressure will eventually built up under
the dome and force the level of water in the trap down the flush pipe.
Water trice ling down the flushing pipe will also absorb source of the air inside the siphon which
will reduce the pressure, causing the greater atmospheric pressure sure acting on the water in the
cistern to force it through the siphon and down the flush pipe.

The first thing to check is that the water supply behind the toilet is open call, the way to the right if
you haven’t accidentally closed off the water out of your taps then the problem is in the tank.
19 | P a g e
Take a look of the float, because if control the water level in the tank its position is important ,
try adjusting the float, adjustment screw a little higher and sue it that works.
Some toilets have a fill in marked on the insides of the tank if it doesn’t a good rule of thumb
i. Clogs
You may have a clog or partial clog, if you have small children in the house, they may have
tried full experiments with flushing toys that didn’t quite wash out.
If you’ve some guest, they may have tried to flush paper towels, hygiene product, flushable
wipes (we didn’t consider this flushable) or simply for much toilet paper.
Our first step is to apply plugging the toilet with plunger to reduce splashing and get a good sized
plunge and wiggle it into place so it entirely covers the hole of the bottom of the bowl, you don’t
have to pull quickly. Just thoroughly that doesn’t work you can try using from hardware store.
Assuming no one has raised the target it generally means one way or another the issue is
The wax seal between the bottom of the toilet and the main train has come loose offer
will leak only when you flush.
There is a crack somewhere in the base of the toilet. This is often the case when he leak
is constant even if you don’t flush.

capable of holding not less than 10litres between the normal water level and the hihest possible
The water closet shall be fitted with water, its normal water seal level and charged with six

CHAPTER FOUR
Despite the long term interest in finalizing the project, the final information is collected from
different sources and put together to make it successful. The information has come from
different sources like; institution, organizations and unions. I.e. National Construction Authority
Authority International Plumbing Codes, Local Authority on water supply and Ramogi Institute
Although there are, notable expectations the majority of research has focused on water
4.2 FINDINGS
Water closet has a lot of things to be discussed from the type of water of water closet, installation
This research project has enabled me as a student to gather a lot on water closet, installation
procedure.
More shore, I have come across different types of water closet like pressure assisted toilet
system, gravity flush toilet system, doubled cyclone toilet system, wash down toilet, dual flush
25 | P a g e
I dearly gained a lot on the requirement on sizes and dimensions required for a toilet and water
closet at large.
Lastly, limitations of research problems and possible solutions on how it is being solved.
Furthermore. The research will enable solve problems that might occur in real work
situations and develop more skills and how the real work is done.
a) Assess; if the study depends on having asses to people, organizations or documents and
b) Fluency in language; if the study focuses on measuring the perceived value after school
tutoring among (English has a second language) there will be limitations to interpret what
c) Longitudinal effect; due to distances, it might be very difficult for you to assess the
a) Sample size – the type of the project is dictated by the type of the research problem.
Note that if your sample size is too small, it will be difficult to find significant
relationships from the data. As a test normally require a larger sample size to ensure a
representative distribution.
b) Lack of prior research studies on the topic – citing prior research studies forms the basis
of your literature review and help in foundations for understanding the research
26 | P a g e
c) Measures used to collect data. Sometimes it is the case that after completing your
interpretation of findings. You discover the way in which you gathered data inhibit
d) Self – reported – whether you are relying on pre- existing self-reported data or you are
conducting qualitative research study gather data yourself. Self – reported data is limited
by the fact that it rarely can be independently verified. You have to take what people

I will recommend that the project is of good importance to us as students who are taking
It is my original work and I would recommend it to be used for study in coming future. As

CONCLUSIONS
During my study I would conclude that, there are a lot of problems I have come across during
my research project work. Some of which were assess information was a hindrance as some
people were not ready to air out the information and in case the information is availed out it
might be bias. In that the information might be irrelevant, another one is lack of proper research
Overall, I would conclude that, due to many problems that I came across during my research, my
work is complicated successfully and I gained a lot of knowledge and experience during my
study and my work. This will enabled me get courage on how will handled my day today work
