A DWV riser diagram (drain, waste, vent) is a vertical schematic of a building's plumbing drainage system. It shows fixtures, drain lines, vent lines, and pipe sizes on each floor. Most plumbing permits in New Jersey require a DWV riser as part of the submittal.
A gas riser diagram shows how gas piping runs from the meter to each appliance, with pipe sizes and BTU loads on each segment. Required for most permits involving new gas appliances, water heaters, dryers, or piping changes.
Yes. Fixture units (WSFU and DFU), water service sizing, and gas pipe capacity tables are based on the New Jersey plumbing and gas codes. Riser Tool is a design resource — verify all output against your local code before submitting permits.
No. Riser Tool runs in your browser. You add fixtures from a sidebar, drag them to position, and the tool auto-sizes pipes. No AutoCAD, Revit, or other CAD software required. Most users build their first riser within 5 minutes.
Yes. Each saved riser gets a unique link you can bookmark, share with a colleague, or open from any device. You can save up to 5 risers of each type — DWV and gas — on your free account.
Yes — Riser Tool is free. You get the full editor, NJ-code auto-sizing, vector PDF export (no watermark), and up to 5 saved risers of each type.
Plumbing contractors, estimators, and project managers in New Jersey who do their own permit drawings. If you currently hand-draw risers or pay an engineer for each one, Riser Tool replaces both.
The tool currently uses NJ code values for fixture units and pipe sizing. NY and PA support is on the roadmap. The geometry and editor work fine for any jurisdiction; you'd just need to verify the sizing values yourself.
