Water + Drainage Fixture Unit Calculator

Total the water supply fixture units and drainage fixture units for a building, and size the building drain that has to carry them.

WSFU and DFU are different systems that happen to share a name. Supply units feed a demand curve to size pipe and meter; drainage units feed a table to size the drain and its slope. Mixing them is the most common error in a plumbing submission.

What the plan reviewer checks

Fixture unit values differ between code editions and between adopting jurisdictions, so the table is editable here rather than fixed – set it to the edition your city actually enforces.
