Plumbing Systems
When selecting a piping material for any component of plumbing-related systems, the applicable plumbing code is of primary importance. Here, the allowable piping materials will be listed as well as any restrictions for their use. In addition, the code will also stipulate various accepted standards that govern the manufacture, tolerances, and installation of all components.
When renovating an existing facility or where circumstances require a unique design, it may be necessary to request a deviation from the accepted list of materials in order to match existing piping or obtain special design characteristics. The authorities reviewing such requests require enough information to determine that the intent of the applicable code provisions is followed in terms of safety and suitability of materials for the purpose intended.
Applicable plumbing and model building codes are discussed in Chap. 9, “Plumbing Systems.” Other Code Requirements
Codes required for systems other than plumbing are generally the following :
1. ANSI B31.l-9 series
2. FDA requirements, such as cGMP
3. Sanitary 3-A Standards for the food and pharmaceutical industries
