Hydraulic Services Design Guide 5th Edition March 2022

Updates for 2022 include

​Chapter 1 ​Revision to the introduction and introduce The Copper Mark program
​Chapter 4 ​Provide an explanation of The Copper Mark program
​Chapter 7 & 10 ​Introduction of ‘Lead-Free’ regulation
​Chapter 17 ​Introduction of plumbing design software – H2X

The first part of the design guide focuses on Copper, with chapters on history, production, specification and limitations. The second part includes design principles, cold water system design, hot water system design, warm water systems, pumps, design guidelines, pipe sizing guide and design methods.

The design guide is particularly useful for anyone starting out in hydraulic services design, such as students, graduate engineers or plumbing contractors transitioning into design services.

H2X was approached by the International Copper Association to be included in the latest edition of the design guide as they recognised the digital progression of hydraulic design methods.

You can read or download the design guide at the link below. H2X is featured on pages 171-173.

CASE STUDIES
Award-Winning Heating Design

"Using h2x was pivotal, allowing for precise heat loss calculations, pipe sizing and flow rates for each room.

This level of detail ensured that the heating load accurately matched each space's requirements, minimising energy waste and maximising comfort.

The strategic placement of heat pumps and careful sizing of pipework were crucial in maintaining minimal pressure drops over an 18-metre distance."
