401.1 Scope. This chapter shall govern the materials, design and installation of plumbing fixtures, faucets and fixture fitting in accordance with the type of occupancy, and shall provide for minimum number of fixtures for various types of occupancies.
*This section contains the scoping requirements for Chapter 4. Compliance with this chapter will result in a building or structure having adequate plumbing fixtures for the sanitary, hygienic, cleaning, washing and food preparation needs of the occupants. Many of the requirements of this chapter have been duplicated in the International Building Code (IBC), Chapter 29, for the convenience of the architect, who is often responsible for the layout and number of plumbing fixtures when creating the floor plan of a building. In fact, Chapter 29 of the IBC is under complete control by the plumbing code.
