The symbols shown in figure 8-31 are for general appurtenances, such as drains and sumps, but other fixtures, such as sinks, water closets, and shower stalls, are shown on the plans by pictorial or block symbols. The extent to which the symbols are used depends on the nature of the drawing. In many cases, the fixtures will be specified on a bill of materials or other schedules keyed to the plumbing plan. When the fixtures are described on the schedule, the EA can use symbols that closely resemble the actual fixtures or obtain mechanical symbol templates that are available commercially.
