4PART 1 International Plumbing Code202CHANGE TYPE:Plumbing FixtureDefinitionCHANGE SUMMARY: The definition of “plumbing fixture” has beenmodified to include fixtures such as waterless urinals.ModificationInternational Code Council 2012 CODE: Plumbing Fixture. A receptacle or device that is eitherpermanently or temporarily connected to the a water distribution supplysystem or of the premises and demands a supply of water therefrom;discharges wastewater, liquid-borne waste materials or sewage eitherdirectly or indirectly to a the drainage system of the premises; or requiresboth. Such receptacles or devices require a water supply of water;connection and a or discharge liquid waste or liquid-borne solid waste;or require a supply of water and discharge waste to a the drainage systemof the premises.CHANGE SIGNIFICANCE: The previous definition of “plumbing fixture”was outdated and incomplete. The definition now includes receptaclesand devices that do not necessarily require connection to a watersupply. Waterless urinals and floor drains, now addressed in the reviseddefinition, were not defined as plumbing fixtures in the past.Waterless urinalS GN S42474 pt01 ptg01 hr 001-071.indd 4C SO6/29/11 12:54 PM
Significant Changes to the IPC 2012 EditionCHANGE TYPE:202ClarificationCHANGE SUMMARY: The definition of “plumbing appliance” has beenchanged to clarify the difference between appliances and fixtures. Plumbing Appliance Definition5202Plumbing ApplianceDefinition2012 CODE: Plumbing Appliance. Any one of a special class ofplumbing fixtures Water-connected or drain-connected devices intendedto perform a special function. Included are fixtures having the Thesedevices have their operation or control dependent on one or moreenergized components, such as motors, controls, or heating elementsor pressure or temperature sensing elements. Such fixtures devices aremanually adjusted or controlled by the owner or operator, or are operatedautomatically through one or more of the following actions; a time cycle,a temperature range, a pressure range, a measured volume or weight.International Code Council CHANGE SIGNIFICANCE: The modified definition of “plumbingappliance” provides a better distinction between appliances and fixtures.The revised text updates and simplifies the definition, now recognizingthese two classes as different. Examples of plumbing appliances includedishwashers, clothes washers, garbage disposals, water softeners, waterpurifiers, and water heaters.Domestic garbage disposal42474 pt01 ptg01 hr 001-071.indd 56/29/11 12:54 PM
6PART 1 International Plumbing Code202CHANGE TYPE:Grease InterceptorDefinitionCHANGE SUMMARY: The definition of “grease interceptor” has beenmodified for consistency with current industry terms for the two generaltypes of grease interceptors being used in plumbing installations.Modification2012 CODE: Grease Interceptor. A plumbing appurtenance that isinstalled in a sanitary drainage system to intercept oily and greasy wastesfrom a wastewater discharge. Such device has the ability to intercept freefloating fats and oils.Grease Interceptor.Hydromechanical. Plumbing appurtenances that are installedin the sanitary drainage system to intercept free-floating fats, oilsand grease from wastewater discharge. Continuous separation isaccomplished by air entrainment, buoyancy and interior baffling.Gravity. Plumbing appurtenances of not less than 500 gallons(1893 L) capacity that are installed in the sanitary drainagesystem to intercept free-floating fats, oils and grease fromwastewater discharge. Separation is accomplished by gravityduring a retention time of not less than 30 minutes.The installation of a typicalhydromechanical greaseinterceptor (Courtesy of Thermaco,6" thickconcrete padInc. 2010 )Solid manhole coverGrade or pavingSteps36" diameterprecastmanholebarrel sectionAs required7"Precastconcretegreaseinterceptor24"10" COOutletCast irontee withcleanoutplugWaterlevel12"Cast ironlong 1/4 bend8"Concrete baffleInternational Code Council InletGrout(typical)Typical concrete grease interceptorS GN S42474 pt01 ptg01 hr 001-071.indd 6C SO6/29/11 12:54 PM
Significant Changes to the IPC 2012 Edition202 Grease Interceptor Definition7CHANGE SIGNIFICANCE: The provisions of Section 1003.3.4 addressinggrease interceptors and automatic grease removal devices were neverintended to apply to gravity grease interceptors. The new terminology nowmakes a clear distinction between the two types of grease interceptors,hydromechanical and gravity. The revision to the definition along withthe changes made in Section 1003.3.4 place the IPC in better alignmentwith product standards and industry terminology. Both types of greaseinterceptors require diligent effort by restaurant facility managers and staffto ensure that they are regularly maintained and properly serviced. For agrease collection device to work correctly, it must be properly designed,installed, maintained, and serviced regularly.42474 pt01 ptg01 hr 001-071.indd 76/29/11 12:54 PM
8PART 1 International Plumbing Code303.1, 303.4CHANGE TYPE:Material Identificationand Third-PartyCertificationCHANGE SUMMARY: The identification requirements for plumbingproducts and materials have been clarified.Clarification2012 CODE: 303.1 Identification.

Significant Changes to the IPC 2012 Edition303.1, 303.4 Material Identification9PEX tubing label with complete identification and conformance information (Courtesy of Uponor Corporation)CHANGE SIGNIFICANCE: The modification to the identificationprovisions of Section 303.1 clarifies the intent of the code that productsand materials shall bear the identification of the manufacturer, as wellas the identification requirements that are referenced by the applicablestandard. As a result of the modifications made to Section 303.4, allplumbing products and materials must now be listed by a third-partycertification agency. Table 303.4 was deleted as a result of the modificationsmade to Section 303.4.42474 pt01 ptg01 hr 001-071.indd 96/29/11 12:54 PM
10PART 1 International Plumbing Code308.9CHANGE TYPE:Parallel WaterDistribution SystemsCHANGE SUMMARY: In parallel water distribution systems, the hotand cold water piping may now be grouped in the same pipe bundle.Modification2012 CODE: 308.9 Parallel Water Distribution Systems. Pipingbundles for manifold systems shall be supported in accordance withTable 308.5. Support at changes in direction shall be in accordance withthe manufacturer’s installation instructions. Where Hhot and cold waterpiping shall not be grouped in the same is bundled with cold or hot waterpiping, each hot water pipe shall be insulated.CHANGE SIGNIFICANCE: Hot water piping is now permitted to bebundled together with other cold or hot water piping. However, thisinstallation method is only permitted where each hot water pipe isinsulated. Only one of the hot water pipes in a parallel water distributionsystem actually has hot water running through it at any given time. Theother hot water pipes have cold water sitting in them and heat transferbetween the hot pipe being used and the other piping will take place.Manifold plumbing systems are control centers for hot and cold waterthat feed flexible PEX supply lines to individual fixtures. Cold water andun-insulated hot water piping in the same bundles are known to absorblarge amounts of heat. This code modification will prevent this costlyheat transfer.International Code Council Hot waterHot waterTempered waterExample of insulated bundle pipingS GN S42474 pt01 ptg01 hr 001-071.indd 10C SO6/29/11 12:54 PM
315.1Significant Changes to the IPC 2012 EditionCHANGE TYPE: 11Sealing of Annular Spaces at Penetrations315.1ModificationCHANGE SUMMARY: The provisions for sealing any annular spacescreated at piping penetrations have been revised to be consistent withthe building envelope sealing requirements of the International EnergyConservation Code.Sealing of AnnularSpaces at Penetrations2012 CODE: 305.4 315.1 Sleeves Sealing of Annular Spaces. Theannular spaces between the outside of a pipe and the inside of a pipesleeves, and pipes or between the outside of a pipe and an openingin a building envelope wall, floor, or ceiling assembly penetrated bya pipe shall be filled or tightly caulked sealed in an approved mannerwith caulking material or closed with a gasketing system. The caulkingmaterial, foam sealant, or gasketing system shall be designed for theconditions at the penetration location and shall be compatible with thepipe, sleeve and building materials in contact with the sealing ma
hapter 1 of the International Plumbing Code (IPC) clarifi es how the code will be enforced by code offi cials. Defi nitions of plumbing code terminology are found in Chapter 2. General regula-tions in Chapter 3 identify requirements not listed in other code chapters, such as testing and inspections.
