International Plumbing Code:
A Guide for Use and Adoption
Edward Brunet, Jr., P.E.
Overview
This
subject matter for this course is The International Plumbing Code: A
Guide for Use and Adoption* published by the International Code Council (ICC).
This document was developed by the ICC to assist in the analysis of the
International Plumbing Code (IPC).
The
IPC is founded on plumbing principles utilized in the plumbing codes of more
than 30 states across the U.S. Every code requirement in the IPC is based
on sound engineering principles, years of research, and field experience.
Additionally, every code requirement in the IPC has been enforced in a plumbing
code somewhere in the U.S. The Guide document developed by the ICC covers
the major technical provisions of the International Plumbing Code and provides
the rationale and justification behind much of the technical content contained
within the IPC.
This course is relevant to
engineers responsible for designing, upgrading or maintaining
plumbing systems, as well as engineers simply interested in learning more about
plumbing system design.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of
twenty questions at the end of
this course to obtain PDH credits.
