In a large student house in Sheffield, cold water is supplied by the mains water supply at a pressure of 2 bar, gauge, and at a temperature 10°C. A wash basin cold tap is located 3 meters above the mains supply, connected to the mains pipe with a copper pipe of internal diameter 15 mm and length 12 meters.
