I.C.C. code VS. IAPMO - Plumbing Zone

MASTER-3 · 02-03-2010, 01:53 PM

For me I like them both, but I favor the I.P.C. more because of its close
relationship with the I.C.C. (International Code Council)... It's changed my life for the better. I have obtained all 3 of my Master License's through the I.C.C. & union training.

The licenses I hold are National Standard: Master Plumber, Master Mechancial (A), Master Gas Pipe Fitter, not to mention my National Building Contractors License...
As one can see its revolutionized my life for the Best...

What are some of your accomplishments? We'd love to hear them?

i hold licenses in both and i prefer the IPC

most of the city`s around here now inspect on ipc where it used to be only upc.

I hold licenses in both

I like the UPC because there are only two books to carry UPC/UMC

Unlike the ICC, IPC/IMC and Fuel gas

Most all jusrisdictions here have switched to UPC

Its my understanding that the ICC is stemed off the Uniform code

UPC allows wet venting

Only a handyman uses a AAV. I have always found a way to vent without a POS AAV

Just my $.02
