National Plumbing Code of
Canada 2010 |
The National Plumbing Code of Canada (NPC) is
prepared for anyone who designs or installs plumbing systems. The body of the
document contains the Plumbing Code regulations, and a helpful appendix
provides numerous supporting diagrams and explanatory material. The NPC sets
out technical provisions for the design and installation of new plumbing
systems. It also applies to the extension, alteration, renewal and repair of
existing plumbing systems.
The Code specifies minimum requirements for
draining systems, venting systems, water service pipes, and water distribution
systems. Want to know how to prevent back-siphonage in buildings? Can you use a
cast iron soil pipe in a water system? What is the minimum size of a water
service pipe? The NPC provides answers to these questions - and hundreds more -
clearly and logically. |

Division A includes compliance options and
information on new elements called objectives and functional statements.
Objectives describe the overall goals that a particular Code's provisions are
intended to achieve. Functional statements describe the functions that a
building or its components must perform to fulfill the objectives. At least one
objective and one functional statement are linked to each technical requirement
to help users better understand the reason why a particular requirement must be
met and to help them evaluate alternative solutions.
In Division B, Code
users can find the "acceptable solutions," which consist of the Code provisions
updated with technical changes.
Finally, Division C contains
administrative provisions, which have all been consolidated into this one
place.
Under Canada's Constitution Act, plumbing regulation is the
responsibility of provincial and territorial governments. The NPC is in the
form of a model code to permit adoption by the appropriate authority. Most
provinces and territories adopt or adapt the model NPC and enforce its
requirements.
Available in two practical formats:
- A binder version that lies flat for easy reference
easily accommodates updates.
- A soft-cover version that contains the same
information as the binder, at about half the weight. This format is ideal for
the job site.
