Long Description Ensure your plumbing projects are up to code with the 2021 International Plumbing Code (IPC). Published by the International Code Council (ICC), this comprehensive guide establishes minimum regulations for plumbing systems using both prescriptive and performance-related provisions. It is the go-to resource for plumbing inspectors, architects, engineers, and contractors who need to ensure the health and safety of building occupants through sanitary and efficient plumbing practices.
The 2021 Edition brings the code into the modern era with significant updates regarding inclusivity and new technologies. A major change involves the introduction of regulations for multi-user toilet facilities designed to serve all genders, providing clear standards for privacy and fixture counts. The code also embraces innovation by allowing push-fit DWV fittings for PVC and ABS piping and adding two new standards for the relining and rehabilitation of existing building sewers. Additionally, it incorporates CSA B805/ICC 805 as an alternative design method for rainwater harvesting systems.
