7 The International Plumbing code , in this 2015 edition, is designed to meet these needs through model code regulations that safeguard the public health and safety in all communities, large and small. This comprehensive Plumbing code establishes minimum regulations for Plumbing systems using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. It is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials and new Plumbing designs. This 2015 edition is fully compatible with all of the International Codes (I-Codes ) published by the International code Council (ICC) , including the International Building code , International Energy Conservation code , International Existing Building code , International Fire code , International Fuel Gas code , International Green Construction code , International Mechanical code , ICC Performance code , International Private Sewage Disposal code , International Property Maintenance code , International Residential code , International Swimming Pool and Spa code , International Wildland Urban Interface code and International Zoning code .

8 2015 INTERNATIONAL Plumbing code 6 The International Plumbing code provisions provide many benefits, among which is the model code development process that offers an international forum for Plumbing professionals to discuss performance and prescriptive code requirements. This forum provides an excellent arena to debate proposed revisions. This model code also encourages international consistency in the application of provisions. Development The first edition of the International Plumbing code (1995) was the culmination of an effort initiated in 1994 by a development Committee appointed by the ICC and consisting of representatives of the three statutory members of the International code Council at that time, including: Building Officials and code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA), International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) and Southern Building code Congress International (SBCCI).

9 The intent was to draft a comprehensive set of regulations for Plumbing systems consistent with and inclusive of the scope of the existing model codes. Technical content of the latest model codes promulgated by BOCA, ICBO and SBCCI was utilized as the basis for the development. This 2015 edition presents the code as originally issued, with changes as reflected in the subsequent editions through 2012 and with changes approved through the ICC code Development Process through 2013 (completion of Group B). A new edition such as this is promulgated every 3 years. This code is founded on principles intended to establish provisions consistent with the scope of a Plumbing code that adequately protects public health, safety and welfare; provisions that do not unnecessarily increase construction costs; provisions that do not restrict the use of new materials, products or methods of construction; and provisions that do not give preferential treatment to particular types or classes of materials, products or methods of construction.

10 Adoption The International code Council maintains a copyright in all of its codes and standards. Maintaining copyright allows ICC to fund its mission through sales of books, in both print and electronic formats. The International Plumbing code is designed for adoption and use by jurisdictions that recognize and acknowledge the ICC s copyright in the code , and further acknowledge the substantial shared value of the public/private partnership for code development between jurisdictions and the ICC. The ICC also recognizes the need for jurisdictions to make laws available to the public. All ICC codes and ICC standards, along with the laws of many jurisdictions, are available for free in a non-downloadable form on the ICC s website. Jurisdictions should contact the ICC at to learn how to adopt and distribute laws based on the International Plumbing code in a manner that provides necessary access, while maintaining the ICC s copyright. Maintenance The International Plumbing code is kept up to date through the review of proposed changes submitted by code enforcing officials, industry representatives, design professionals and other interested parties.
