Re: 2006 IRC and IPC code trick (not really, but it may seem that way)
There are some differences between the 2006 IRC Plumbing Section and the 2007 California Plumbing Code, which is based on the 2006 Uniform Plumbing Code. Sample: Water Heater’s PTRV; CPC 508.5 - Discharge from a relief valve into a water heater pan shall be prohibited. Think that’s a good rule and would like to see the IRC so adopt. On the other hand, I think Jerry P enumerated them; the IRC has a 13 item list on PTRV piping that CA should adopt. My question; will I live long enough to see one national code?
