>If I recall, the IPC has been used in the DCVA vs. RPZ debate.... Todd,
In chapter nine of the IBC, the only time the International Plumbing Code is mentioned is with the requirement for backflow prevention. Which the water claim jurisdiction over usually anyway. The scope section of chapter 9 (the very beginning) only references the IFC. I think if the IMC and IPC were to be referenced this would be the place to do it. Also, I do not believe a run of the mill plumbing system would need to be tested @ 200psi for 2 hours. (Yes we have an FDC) So I'm thinking a drywall screw in the pipe would become obvious real quick. My opinion only based on an incident that occurred recently with us. Dry wall guys stuck a drywall screw into a 2" CPVC elbow. This kind of reminds me of the code official that tried to apply the area limitations found in the alarm chapter to sprinkler systems.
