2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC)

Plumbing failures are rarely dramatic and always expensive. The 2024 International Plumbing Code is the model code most US jurisdictions adopt to prevent them — governing how water arrives, how waste leaves, and how the two are kept permanently separate.

What the code covers

• Fixture requirements and minimum plumbing facility counts by occupancy
• Water supply and distribution, sizing, and backflow prevention
• Sanitary drainage systems and drain sizing
• Vents and venting methods
• Traps, interceptors, separators and indirect waste
• Storm drainage, water heaters, and non-potable water systems

Who it’s for

Plumbing contractors and journeymen, mechanical engineers, plan reviewers and plumbing inspectors, and candidates preparing for ICC plumbing certification. Commercial and multi-family work is governed by the IPC; detached one- and two-family dwellings are usually covered by the IRC instead.
