Overview of California Plumbing and Mechanical Codes 

Synopsis:   After all the recent code changes, this class is intended to help put both the Plumbing and Mechanical Codes in to perspective by exploring the major provisions of the 2016 California Plumbing Code and 2016 California Mechanical Code, both old and new provisions.  The background behind many of the code requirements will be discussed to provide the participant with an understanding of the intent of the requirements and how to apply it to their everyday work.  Learn more about how products and materials are tested to the required standards; the methods available for confirming code compliance, and key information on what to look for while enforcing the code.  Please bring your code book. 

CEUs are available.  This class is taught by an ICC Preferred Provider.
