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.
A set of the identified plans and specifications is being returned to Galaxy Mechanical, Inc. 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 Minnesota
Department of Health when an installation for a state contract job, licensed facility, or project in an area where
there is no local administrative authority is ready for an inspection and test. To schedule inspections, contact the
state plumbing standards representative for your region, or call the metro office inspection hotline at 1- 800 -926-
6216 (7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.), or 651/215 -0836 (8 a.m. to 9 a.m.) on Monday, Wednesday or Friday.
REQUIREMENT(S):
1. Pot or scullery sinks must be provided with waste outlets not less than 2 inches in diameter (see Minnesota
Rules, part 4715.1390, subpart 1). Each trap serving the three - compartment sink must be at least 2 inches in
size (see Minnesota Rules, part 4715.2300).
2. Water supply connections to fixtures or equipment which have submerged inlets, or inlets below the spill
line of the fixture or equipment, must be provided with an air gap arrangement, approved backflow
preventer or backflow preventer assembly as specified in Minnesota Rules, part 4715.2000 and
part 4715.2010. This shall include the ice maker.
3. The waterline to post -mix -type carbonated beverage machines must have an approved stainless steel

2. This facility is served by existing municipal water and sewer service connections.
Authorization for construction in accordance with the approved plans may be withdrawn if construction is not
undertaken within a period of two years. The fact that the plans have been approved does not necessarily mean
that recommendations or requirements for change will not be made at some later time when changed conditions,
additional information, or advanced knowledge make improvements necessary.
