Sanitation Systems phase 2 1.5

Why is it important to position waste pipe systems and soil pipe systems with care inside buildings?

• To improve the aesthetics of the building

• To save money on materials

• To prevent damage to the building fabric

• To make it easier to install the pipes

What happens if notching of joists is done when the pipe is greater in diameter than 1/8 of the joist depth?

• The joist strength will be severely compromised

• The joist will become stronger

• The pipe will be easier to install

• The pipe will become unstable

Can waste pipe systems and soil pipe systems be positioned across the joist run?

• Yes, it is the recommended positioning

• No, it is not recommended

• It doesn't matter

• Only if the pipes are small in diameter

What is the maximum diameter of the pipe that can be notched into a joist?

• 1/8 of the joist depth

• 1/2 of the joist depth

• The full joist depth

• 1/4 of the joist depth

What is the purpose of positioning pipes with the joist run?

• To improve the aesthetics of the building

• To save money on materials

• To prevent damage to the building fabric

• To make it easier to install the pipes

Why are waste pipe systems and soil pipe systems difficult to position under floors?

• Because they are fragile

• Because they require large pipe sizes

• Because they are heavy

• Because they are expensive

What should NOT be done when positioning waste pipe systems and soil pipe systems?

• Positioning them across the joist run

• Positioning them with the joist run

• Notching of joists

• Positioning them under floors

What will happen if notching of joists is done when the pipe is greater in diameter than 1/8 of the joist depth?

• The joist will become weaker

• The pipe will be easier to remove

• The joist strength will be improved

• The pipe will become more stable
