2018 IPC SOFTCOVER

Course Outline

Provides minimum regulations for plumbing facilities regarding both performance and prescriptive objectives, and provides for the acceptance of new innovative products, materials, and systems. The IPC® also includes its companion document, 2018 International Private Sewage Disposal Code® that contains provisions for design, installation, and inspection of private sewage disposal systems, and provides flexibility in the development of safe, sanitary systems.

The 2018 IPC® contains many significant changes including:

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.
