Can you tie a 1.5 inch sink drain and a 2 inch shower drain together into a 2 inch connection at a 4 inch main line?
Answering this question leaves a lot of unknowns; 1) Is this in the basement, in the floor, under concrete, or, going to be. 2) Is this on a main level, above a basement (Not a crawl space!). And 10 more questions! There is some planning, but, could be trying to answer 25 different scenario's, as much supplied info. will help. For a short answer to keep it simple, the answer is, yes, you can!
What is the usual diameter for main water supply in residential setting?
That totally depends on how many houses there are, and what the pressure in the water mains is. The smallest allowed where I work is an 8" diameter water main, but 10" and 12" are common, too.
What size is your water pipe?
1/2 inch copper/plastic pipe is standard for water2" water main then the branches are sized to properly supply fixture unit demand with out excessive velocity which can cause erosion and hydraulic shock
How many two inch water services will an eight inch water main supply?
16 of them.
What size should a cold water main be?
a cold water main should be a minimum of 3/4" and to figure the right size of main you will need to look up in the UPC and figure out all your fixture units and PSI and elevation
What is the minimum amount of fall allowed on main sewer lines?
1/16 per inch BUT the pipe must be at least 8" diameter and then only 1440 Fixture units can be connected If you increase pitch to 1/2" per ft then you can go up to 2300 fixture unites
How many gallons of water per minute can you get out of a 1 inch water main 50 psi?

What is the pupose of a check valve on recirculating hot water system?
The check valve is a directional valve. Hot water needs to be piped from the top of the tank to the fixture, because that is where the hottest water in the tank is. If a return line is tied into the bottom of the tank, a directional valve (check valve) should be installed between the heater and the pump. That's what they taught me don't know if it really matter upstream or down stream. If you don't have a check valve the water could flow through the return line to the fixture instead of through the supply pipe and the water at the fixture might not be hot enough.
Do you need a water shut off for an ice maker?
In most countries, the law clearly states that any fixture which draws water and comes from a live main feed shall always have a water shut off valve.
How much water pressure is needed for a irrigation system with a half inch main supply?
40
What type of water pipe is best to use in a home?
That depends on the number of fixture units in the house. Usually, your county or city building inspector can show you how to count up fixture units according to the local building code. BUT . . . if you have a normal house with 2 toilets, a shower, a bathtub, and 3 sinks, you might need a 3/4-inch water service. In my town, the minimum size is 1-inch, so that if you add anything in future years, the meter and pipe will deliver sufficient flow at a good pressure. If your house is very large and there is an irrigation sprinkler system, then it might turn out that a 1-1/4-inch or even a 1-1/2-inch meter and pipe would be necessary.
How close can you mount a light fixture to a water line?
Your main concern in installing anything near a water line is to avoid accidentally driving a nail or screw into the pipe, causing a leak. Therefore it is prudent to allow a separation of at least a few inches. Other than that, there is no reason why a light fixture cannot be close to a water line. The wires are insulated, so they are not going to short circuit as a result of the metal pipe.
Which item would be used to determine that a cold water supply to a dwelling would be adequate to serve the plumbing appliances?
There is no one item..Sizing the proper size of a water main one has to calculate the fixture unit demand . A fixture unit is one cubic foot of water (7.48 gallons) and each fixture is given a rating then one has to figure in friction losses through piping and fittings and developed lengh. To much velocity you will have erosion and lots of noise plus hydraulic shock (water hammer) to little allowances for the demand and you can experience a severe pressure / volume drop
How many drains can be used on one vent?
10,784 drains can be connected to a main vent give or take depending on the fixture units and the developed lenght 10,784 drains can be connected to a main vent give or take depending on the fixture units and the developed lenght
