INTERNATIONAL PLUMBING CODE, 2018 EDITION

The *International Plumbing Code, 2018 Edition* available from 1 Exam Prep is the official reference publication developed by the International Code Council (ICC) to establish minimum regulations for plumbing system design, installation, and maintenance. This edition provides comprehensive coverage of topics such as water supply, drainage, venting, fixtures, backflow prevention, and sanitary systems, ensuring uniformity and safety across residential and commercial projects. Required for multiple state and county plumbing contractor licensing exams, including those administered by PSI and Prometric, the 2018 IPC is recognized by regulatory authorities nationwide as a core codebook for trade knowledge testing. It serves as an essential resource for plumbing contractors, inspectors, and designers working toward compliance with modern construction and health standards.

The 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC) provides minimum regulations for plumbing facilities in terms of both performance and prescriptive objectives, and provides for the acceptance of new and innovative products, materials, and systems.
