FixtureUnit turns plumbing code tables into a working reference

fixtureunit.com Observed source
Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A practical plumbing reference that maps fixture units to pipe sizes, explains venting and material choices, and estimates whole-house repipe costs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The homepage groups the reference by the quantities plumbers actually size: WSFU for supply lines, DFU for drains, pressure loss, venting, and material-specific comparisons. Its examples range from ½-inch PEX pressure loss at 2 GPM to building-drain questions for different bathroom configurations. A separate repipe section indexes 1,494 city-level calculations, including a state-by-state estimate for a 12-fixture house.
