Key changes in the 2021 IFGC® include:

• Press-connect joints are acceptable for high pressure (over 5 psig) applications indoors.
• Commercial cooking appliances are not allowed within dwelling units.

In October 2019, the Code Council released an independent study comparing model plumbing codes. It found that over a 12-year period, counties using the IPC saved $38 billion in construction costs, emitted 1,000,000 fewer tons of carbon dioxide, saw an additional 166,000 jobs, and saved 880 million feet of pipe. On average, a single-family home could save up to $4,000 in labor, materials and overhead compared to that same home built to other codes.

Important changes in the 2021 IPC include:

• Multiple-user toilet facilities to serve all genders are now permitted.
• Two new methods for relining/rehabilitation of existing sewers are added.
• Accommodations for mounted roof top solar panels over vent terminals is added.
• CSA B805/ICC 805 Rainwater Harvesting Systems is allowed as an alternative design method.
• Plumbing provisions from ICC A117.1-2017 Standard for Usable and Accessible Buildings and Facilities are now included.
