2018 International Plumbing Code [Paperback]

The IPC provides minimum regulations for plumbing facilities in terms of both performance and prescriptive objectives, and provides for the acceptance of new and innovative products, materials, and systems. Important changes include: Updated table for the Minimum Number of Required Plumbing Fixtures. Single-user toilet facilities (a room having a single water closet and a single lavatory) are not required to be labeled for use by only a male or female (separated use designations). Solar thermal water heating systems need to conform to the ICC 900/SRCC 300 standard. Well systems are required to comply with standard NGWA-01 where local requirements do not cover subject matter or are lacking in detail on others.1.Scope and Administration 2.Definitions 3.General Regulations 4.Fixtures, Faucets and Fixture Settings 5.Water Heaters 6.Water Supply and Distribution 7.Sanitary Drainage 8.Indirect/ Special Waste 9.Vents 10.Traps, Interceptors and Separators 11.Storm Drainage 12.Special Piping and Storage Systems 13.Nonpotable Water Systems 14.Subsurface Landscape Irrigation Systems 15.Referenced Standards 16.Appendix A: Plumbing Permit Fee Schedule 17.Appendix B: Rates of Rainfall for Various Cities 18.Appendix C: Structural Safety 19.Appendix D: Degree Day and Design Temperatures 20.Appendix E: Sizing of Water Piping System
