Piping safety standards
Plumbing codes are regulations governing the installation, maintenance, and inspection of plumbing systems in buildings.
These codes specify requirements for pipe materials, fixture placement, drainage, venting, and water supply to ensure public health and safety.
In the United States, most jurisdictions adopt versions of the Uniform Plumbing Code or International Plumbing Code, often with local amendments.
