Regarding Table C404.5.1 PIPING VOLUME AND MAXIMUM PIPING LENGTHS
-
Question:
Is the intent that lavatories within patient room bathrooms in a hospital to be classified as Public Lavatory Faucets or Other Fixtures and Appliances?
-
Comments:
Since these rooms have generally restricted access and are generally used by one person, it would seem to make sense that they would be classified as private fixtures, and therefore not fall under the "Public Lavatory Faucets" column of this table. Additionally, in order to minimize patient disturbance, shutoff valves for patient room fixtures are generally preferred to be in the corridor outside the patient room and looping a recirculated hot water main down the wall to each patient room fixture would potentially add significantly more piping and valves to a project.
