Answer options:
- 2.5 m
- 3.0 m ✅ 3.5 m
- 4.0 m
Correct answer: 3.5 m
Explanation: According to NPC Table 2.5.7.1.(1), the maximum developed length of a pipe branch between a trap weir and its vent for a 40 mm pipe connected to a single fixture with a maximum 3 fixture units (a dishwasher typically has 2 DFUs) is 3.5 m.
