SYMBOLS FOR HEATING AND VENTILATING DRAWINGS5
1. The objects of this standard set of symbols are to insure the correct interpretation of drawings and to conserve drafting room time by establishing simple and unmistakable symbols for the component parts of the heating and ventilating systems. In preparing the list of symbols an effort has been made to follow existing practice in so far as possible but the list cannot be expected to match exactly the existing practice of every drafting room.
2. Simplicity,, ease of execution and unmistakable identification were carefully con sidered in selecting the symbols. Uncommon fittings and appliances such as vacuum
pumps, separators, etc., have purposely been omitted in order to produce a list which can be easily remembered. It is assumed that when the scale of the drawing permits, the valves and fittings will be drawn to scale and a conventional representation is then unnecessary.
