Plumbing Materials:
The plumbing code specifies which materials must be used for specific plumbing applications.
Materials should have the manufacturer's identification stamped on them.
Installation should follow professional standards and comply with the plumbing code.
Rodent Prevention:
Plumbing systems must be designed to prevent rodents from entering the building.
Rodents commonly enter through drain lines, meter boxes, and piping penetrations.
Key Preventive Measures:
Install strainer plates on drains with openings no larger than ½ inch.
Ensure meter boxes are sealed to prevent rodent access near the water supply system.
Seal gaps around piping penetrations with approved sealing materials, such as caulk, suitable for the application.
