Product Description
The 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code Study Guide from IAPMO is a paperback companion to the 2024 UPC that helps plumbers, apprentices, inspectors, and exam candidates learn and apply the current edition of the code.
The Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) is developed by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) through an ANSI-accredited consensus process, and the 2024 edition is the current one. The code sets the requirements for safe and sanitary plumbing systems while leaving room for new technology. The study guide follows the code, so you can work through the 2024 UPC chapter by chapter and check your understanding as you go.
What’s included
- 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code Study Guide – paperback, published by IAPMO
- Companion to the 2024 UPC; designed to be used with the code book, which is sold separately
- Covers the 2024 edition’s changes, including tileable shower receptors, distribution manifolds, hot-water recirculation, private well tanks, all-gender facilities, updated WSFU and DFU values, and the new Appendices O through R
Who it’s for
Journeyman and master plumber license candidates in states and cities that enforce the Uniform Plumbing Code. Plumbing apprentices in IAPMO-based training programs. Plumbing inspectors and plan checkers preparing for IAPMO or state certification. Mechanical contractors and engineers who need to understand the 2024 UPC without reading it cold.
Why this edition
The 2024 UPC introduced enough new material, from indoor horticultural facilities to tiny houses to minimum qualifications for inspectors in Appendix P, that a study guide written for the 2021 code will miss the questions a current exam asks. This guide is keyed to the 2024 section numbers. Pair it with the 2024 UPC itself for a complete exam-preparation set.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the Uniform Plumbing Code itself or a study guide?
It is the study guide. It is written to be used alongside the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code and helps you learn and navigate the code; it does not replace the code book.
What changed in the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code?
Highlights include new provisions for tileable shower receptors, water supply and distribution manifolds, hot-water recirculating systems, private well water tanks, and all-gender facilities, updated fixture unit values, and new appendices covering non-sewered sanitation, inspector qualifications, indoor horticultural facilities, and tiny houses.
Which states use the Uniform Plumbing Code?
The UPC is adopted mainly in the western United States and by a number of other jurisdictions and agencies. The International Plumbing Code is used elsewhere. Check which code your state or city enforces before buying a study guide.
