Nothing has caused us more problems than trying to enforce venting of floor drains, whether onsite inspections or during plan review. It is like this is a new concept. How do you folks do in this area?
Hit them at plan review (riser diagram is a requirement for all commercial projects with new plumbing fixtures) and hit them at ground work inspection...top-out inspection is usually too late.jar546 said:Nothing has caused us more problems than trying to enforce venting of floor drains, whether onsite inspections or during plan review.

905 confuses the issue of floor drains in most cases it is imposible to get a 45% rise to 6 inches above the flood rim, you need to look further to 912. Combination drain ventingjar546 said:To get specific, how do you gain compliance with IPC 905?
Would you please direct me to the section requiring slope to floor drain?ICE said:Another problem that I run into with floor drains is that the floor doesn't slope towards the drain. The plans never mention this. I point it out at the underfloor inspection and it still gets missed. Invariably I hear "We have never heard of this before."
I believe ICE is under the Uniform Plumbing CodeYankee said:Would you please direct me to the section requiring slope to floor drain?
