    Fixture Unit Calculator (DFU / WSFU)

    How many fixture units is a toilet?

    Under the IPC, a residential flush-tank water closet is 3 DFU for drainage; under the UPC it is typically counted as 3–4 DFU. A flushometer (commercial) water closet is higher, often 6 DFU. On the water-supply side a tank-type toilet is about 2.2 WSFU. Always use the table that matches your adopted code and whether the use is private or public.
