First time I ran across this.

New house (2007) had no exterior faucets!!??

Usually there are at least two hose bibs!!!

Does plumbing code require exterior faucets?

Charles,

I'm not seeing a Requirement in IRC 2003. A lot of requirements on how to but nothing on required.:confused:

Just another reason codes are "minimums".
