I.C.C. code VS. IAPMO - Page 6 - Plumbing Zone

ipc 18.2 and the commentary cover their duty. to site the section that is allegedly being violated so the responsible person can respond to the notice.

a red tag without a section of violation. is just a red tag. i have been down that rode with older inspectors who have not had any new training on the plumbing law changes in 20 years . it is code rule, not opinion rule. and i will challenge them on it. 99% of the time it works out well and we become friends. they are not use to anyone question them. and anyone has the ability to be wrong

Wet-venting a laundry tub/laundry machine with a kitchen sink\dishwasher on the floor above is now standard in the homes that we do.

Or wet-venting a bar sink (basement), with a kitchen sink/dishwasher (first floor) and two lavs (second floor). What a system!

I never seemed to understand the reason for soo many different plumbing codes all over the USA. Why not have one uniform code? (Except for Chigago, they don't seem as they will ever change lol)

Wet venting fixtures on sepreate floors isn't wet venting it's not venting.
