2021 International Plumbing Code – IPC-2021
The 2021 International Plumbing Code® (IPC) establishes minimum standards for the design, installation, and inspection of plumbing systems in all building types—except one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses up to three stories, which are covered under the IRC. This code supports both prescriptive and performance-based approaches and promotes innovation in materials and design.
Highlights:
- Permits multiple-user all-gender toilet facilities
- Adds two approved methods for sewer relining and rehabilitation
- Allows rooftop solar panels to be installed over vent terminals
- Recognizes CSA B805/ICC 805 for rainwater harvesting system design
- Integrates accessibility provisions from ICC A117.1-2017
- Covers potable and nonpotable water, sanitary and storm drainage, venting, water heaters, and graywater systems
- Structured into prescriptive chapters with appendices and accessibility references
- Fully aligned with the 2021 I-Codes for unified plumbing regulation and enforcement
Who It’s For:
Plumbing engineers, contractors, inspectors, and code officials working on compliant, modern plumbing systems in commercial and multifamily buildings.
