Systems & Code第 47 / 110 题
A key difference between the Uniform Plumbing Code and the International Plumbing Code affects where the building drain becomes the building sewer. Which statement correctly pairs the codes?
a.UPC 30 in, IPC 2 ft outside the wall
b.Both use 5 ft outside the wall
c.UPC 2 ft, IPC 30 in outside the wall
d.Both use the property line
解析
The UPC places the building drain to building sewer transition 2 ft outside the building wall, while the IPC uses 30 in. This boundary determines which code chapter, permit, and sometimes trade governs the piping. Knowing which model code the local jurisdiction adopted is essential before sizing or permitting.
