Plan of Procedures

The water filtration structure will be produced from the following supplies in each list. Each tool, part, and material have individual uses which all come together to form the overall system. Each item under each list has an assigned number. Each list also indicates the quantity per item, the size, and any notes or uses for the item. Supplies include what materials are used for the system, tools are what are used to aid in putting the system together, and parts are the individual pieces of the system. The system being created is a water filtration system to be used in Zimbabwe, Africa.

Supplies List
Number	Material	Quantity	Size	Notes
S1	Polycarbonate Container	1	14” diameter 25” height	Houses filters and water
S2	PVC Pipe	54” total length	1” diameter	Support Structure
S3	PVC Pipe Connectors (with side outlet 90)	4	1” diameter outlets	Support Structure

Tools List
Number	Tool	Use
T1	Drill	Drills hole for water spigot
T2	3/4” Hole Saw Drill Bit	Drills hole for water spigot
T3	Ruler	Measures
T4	Marker	Creates markings
T5	PVC Cement	Adhesive for PVC pipe and connector
T6	Chop Saw	Cuts PVC pipe

Part P3: Container

1. Measure up 1” from bottom of polycarbonate container (S1) using ruler (T3).

2. Mark polycarbonate container (S1) at 1” line using marker (T4).

3. Insert drill bit (T2) into drill (T1).

4. Drill out hole at 1” mark using drill (T1).

 

S2 and S3: PCV Pipes and Connectors

1. Take PVC pipes (S2), measure with ruler (T4) every 8”, and use marker (T4) to create a line marking off four 8” long pieces.

2. Take remaining pieces of PVC pipes (S2), measure with ruler (T4) every 5 ½”, and use marker (T4) to create a line marking off four 5 ½” long pieces.

3. Cut PVC pipes (S2) into four 8” pieces and four 5 1/2” pieces using chop saw (T6).

 

4. Create PVC support structure by taking four 8” pieces and assembling into a square. At each corner of square, fit PVC pipe pieces into PVC pipe connectors (S3) creating a 10” wide structure.

 

 

5. Glue PVC pipe pieces (S2) and PVC pipe connectors (S3) together using PVC cement (T5). Ensure that the remaining opening of each PVC pipe connector (S3) is facing the same direction when gluing.

6. Glue each of the 5 1/2” PVC pipe pieces into the PVC pipe connectors (S3) forming a supporting structure resembling a table.

Parts List
Number	Part	Quantity	Size	Notes
P1	Lid	1	14” diameter	Encloses system
P2	Filter Container	1	14” diameter 12.5” tall	Houses set of filters
P3	Container	1	14” diameter 25” tall	Houses entire system
P4	Rod	1	1 ½” diameter 10 ¾” tall	Supports filter container
P5	Spigot	1	3.4”x3”x0.7”	Allows water to exit container
P6	Rubber Washers	2	3/4”	Supports spigot
P7	Nut	1	3/4”	Supports spigot
P8	PVC Support Structure	1	10” square 5 1/2” height	Supports filtration system

Assembly

1. Insert one rubber washer (P6) onto neck of spigot (P5). Insert spigot (P5) into cutout hole of container (P3) from the outside. Take remaining rubber washer (P6) and insert onto neck of spigot (P5) from other side of hole of the container (P3). Screw nut (P7) onto neck of spigot (P5) following the rubber washer (P6), ensure that the nut (P7) is tight.

2. Place PVC Support Structure (P8) into container (P3) so the structure resembles a right-side-up table.

3. Place filter container (P2) on top of PVC Support Structure (P8).
