A bathroom plumbing diagram is basically a sketch for the various plumbing pipes, pipe fittings and drains as well as vent piping. This kind of a plumbing diagram is usually required in order to get a building permit. It is an isometric diagram which will help to determine in case all your plumbing meets code.

The bathroom plumbing diagram will tell you where the bathtub plumbing fixtures have been installed. Now you only need to hook up the water supply to the correct handles as well as connect the drain waste assembly to the septic system. The drain waste is basically an assembly piece which covers the drain as well as the overflow hole in the tub.

Once you go through a bathroom plumbing diagram, you may find most of the information confusing. Perhaps this is because most of the authors as well as experts assume that the readers have a certain level of knowledge. But this is un-realistic.

Typically, a bathroom plumbing diagram is for the drain and waste system, which is different from the supply system. The drain and waste system is basically a system of draining the waste from your house. It needs to be efficient as well as safe. The two main components of the drain and waste system are the drain sub-system; and the other one is vent sub-system. Both of these are tied together in order to make a safe working system. The drains for all your fixtures in the bathroom will leave the house in a single drain pipe that either connects to the municipal sewer system or to the septic system. Thus, any good bathroom plumbing diagram needs to ensure that all these drains should be in their right places for proper and safe operation.

An isometric bathroom plumbing diagram is a 3D view of the complete plumbing. This would include Drain, Waste as well as Vent system. The only things visible in this diagram are piping, connections, fixture trap as well as sizes.
