| The 2006 International Plumbing Code®addresses the design and installation of plumbing systems through requirements that emphasize performance. Provisions are provided for fixtures, piping, fittings, and devices, as well as design and installation methods for water supply, sanitary drainage, and storm drainage. The code provides comprehensive minimum regulations for plumbing facilities using prescriptive- and performance-related provisions. The objectives of the code provide for the acceptance of new and innovative products, materials, and systems.
Benefits:
⢠establishes provisions code that adequately protect public health, safety, and welfare; do not necessarily increase construction costs; and do not restrict the use of new materials
