Date Received: January 5, 2000, January 4, 2000
Date Reviewed: January 5, 2000
SCOPE: This review is limited to the design of this particular project only insofar as the provisions of the
Minnesota Plumbing Code, as amended, apply, and does not cover the water supply or sewerage system to
which this plumbing system is connected. The review is based upon the supposition that the data on which
the design is based are correct, and that necessary legal authority has been obtained to construct the project.
The responsibility for the design of structural features and the efficiency of equipment must be taken by the
project designer. Approval is contingent upon satisfactory disposition of any requirements included in this
report. Special care should be taken to insure that the material and installation of the plumbing system are in
accordance with the provisions of the Minnesota Plumbing Code. A copy of the approved plans and
specifications should be retained at the project location for future reference.
Enclosed is a copy of the report and transmittal letter to be forwarded to the project owner.
INSPECTIONS: All plumbing installations must be tested and inspected in accordance with the requirements
of the Minnesota Plumbing Code. As specified in Minnesota Rules, part 4715.2830, no plumbing work may be
covered prior to completing the required tests and inspections. Provisions must be made for applying an air
test at the time of the roughing -in inspection as outlined in Minnesota Rules, part 4715.2820, subpart 2, of the
code. A manometer test, as specified in Minnesota Rules, part 4715.2820, subpart 3, is required at the time of
the finished plumbing inspection. It is the responsibility of the contractor /installer to notify the State Health
Department when the installation will be ready for a test and inspection. To schedule inspections, contact the
state plumbing standards representative for your region, or call the metro office at 1- 800 - 926 -6216, or Gary
Topp at 651/215-0841.
REQUIREMENT(S):
1. All plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the Minnesota Plumbing Code (see Minnesota Rules,
part 4715.0320).
2. The submitted plans did not include a riser diagram for the drains discharging to the flammable waste
interceptor. A water seal is not permitted in the catch basins discharging to the flammable waste
interceptor (see Minnesota Rules, part 4715.1120). The catch basins must be constructed so that no
flammable waste will be contained within the vessel and they will be allowed to drain dry.
3. A full -size vent stack (3 -inch minimum) must be provided for every building (see Minnesota Rules,
part 4715.2520, subpart 1). Verify that a full -size vent stack exists.
4. It is recommended that a cleanout be provided where new waste and vent piping connects with existing
plumbing to facilitate required testing of the new installation.
