Glossary

Code Check Plumbing is an illustrated guide to the most common code questions in plumbing of single-family and two-family dwellings. This book emphasizes the basic safety principles that are at the heart of these codes. The basic codes used in Code Check Plumbing are the 2003 International Residential Code and the 2000 Uniform Plumbing Code. Most of the United States will be using one or the other of these codes through 2005. A few additional code references are needed for energy issues and related building and electrical requirements pertaining to plumbing. We have chosen the International Energy Conservation Code as the most widely promoted model energy code (IRC) and California's energy code as an example of a state energy code. The Uniform Building Code (URC) has been used as an example of a legacy (pre-ICC) code that is still widely used. Check with your local building department to determine what codes apply in your area.
