Reference: Section AP201.1 (1), IRC 2012. 3. Verify the water pressure available to the site prior to determining the size of the water service piping; use the minimum pressure when sizing the water piping. Limit the velocity of the water in the pipe to no more than 8 feet per second, in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions (e.g. provide calculations for PEX which has a smaller interior diameter than copper or PVC pipe). Include the pressure drop for static lift and the reduced pressure backflow preventer as well as any required minimum pressure in excess of 8 PSI. Reference: Sections P2609.2 and AP201.1, IRC 2012. 4. Provide fixture descriptions for all plumbing fixtures.
