Isometrics For Plumbers

As a plumber it is important to be able to read and draw isometrically. Isometric is a fancy way of saying 3-Dimensional drawing. In this video, Plumber-Tom explains the basic rules for isometric drawings, and then gives examples of isometric pipe drawings from actual building plans. This is the perfect tutorial for any plumber trying to understand isometrics.

Thanks for sharing your great video. what app or software do you draw on computer?

[@plumber-tom9470]

Hey thanks. I use a ReMarkable tablet and screen share through Wi-Fi to the computer. Then I use Camtasia to record my screen.

I'm using Sketchup for arch drawings. Gotta tell ya, the isometrics take moments to prepare. Laughably fast. My problem is, I'm not a plumber! XD

Can u do this for upc as well as upc wouldn't allow that lav wet vent

[@plumber-tom9470]

I live in a state that uses IPC so I am more familiar with this. But next year I may produce some videos about UPC. I will keep that in mind. Thanks!

Why there is no vent for toilets/WC on exercise 1 & 2. You have provided the single vent on lavatory. I just wanted to know if this is up to the code or good for this type of arrangement.

[@plumber-tom9470]

Good question. This is up to code for the International Plumbing Code which allows for wet venting. Depending on where you are at the local jurisdiction may or may not allow wet venting.
