Planning & EstimatingQuestion 310 of 360
On a plumbing plan, what does a "point of connection" (POC) note typically identify?
a.The color of the fixture
b.The paint booth location
c.Where the new piping ties into an existing system or the public utility main
d.The parking count
Explanation
A point of connection marks where new work ties into an existing pipe or the public main, defining the boundary of the contractor's scope. Locating the POC is critical for planning excavation, permits, and coordination with the utility. Missing or misreading the POC can leave a gap between new and existing systems.
