ICC P2 - Commercial Plumbing Inspector Exam Prep

The specifications in this standard make sites, facilities, buildings and elements accessible to and usable by people with such physical disabilities as the inability to walk, difficulty walking, reliance on walking aids, blindness and visual impairment, deafness and hearing impairment, in coordination, reaching and manipulation disabilities, lack of stamina, difficulty interpreting and reacting to sensory information, and extremes of physical size. The intent of this standard is to allow a person with physical disability to independently get to, enter, and use a site, facility, building, or element.

Includes:

• Coordination of requirements for the various types of dwelling units
• Technical requirements for Type C (Visitable) Units added
• Variable Message Signs (i.e., gate information in train stations and airports)
• Better consistency of sign requirements regarding when raised characters and Braille are required
• Location of toilet paper dispenser (more design options, recessed fixtures addressed, single point of measurement, etc.)
• New chapter for a variety of types of recreational facilities

These new recreational criteria are intended to provide a level of coordination between the accessible provisions of this standard and the revised Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA/ABA AG).

This is a must have reference for facility professionals, building owners, architects, designers, and code officials that want to stay up to date with the requirements of this Accessibility Standard.

The IPC provides minimum regulations for plumbing facilities in terms of both performance and prescriptive objectives, and provides for the acceptance of new and innovative products, materials, and systems.

• The townhouse separation provisions now include options for using two separate fire-resistant-rated walls or a common wall.
• An emergency escape and rescue opening is no longer required in basement sleeping rooms where the dwelling has an automatic fire sprinkler system and the basement has a second means of egress or an emergency escape opening.
• The exemption for interconnection of smoke alarms in existing areas has been deleted.
• New girder/header tables have been revised to incorporate the use of #2 Southern Pine in lieu of #1 Southern Pine.
• New tables address alternative wood stud heights and the required number of full height studs in high wind areas.
