A Salon Riser Diagram Let’s You Shampoo
A salon riser diagram is a drawing that shows all the drain, waste, and vent (DWV) pipes in your new salon. The pipes interconnect and the drawing, as well as the installation, must comply with all of the requirements found in the Uniform Plumbing Code.
It’s important to realize these drawings can be very complex. Here is a very condensed list of some of the things that need to be shown on a salon riser diagram:
- the correct size of all the DWV pipes
- illustrate the correct fittings and angles at all pipe junctures
- show how to collect all the vents
- include general notes about installation parameters
Who Can Create This Drawing?
A riser diagram is best drawn by one of these three professionals:
- a mechanical engineer
- a master plumber
