Section 12-F1104. CONDUCTORS AND CONNECTIONS

 

Strike Section 1104.2 of the International Plumbing Code in its entirety and insert new Section 1104.2 in the Plumbing Code in its place to read as follows:

1104.2 Combining storm with sanitary drainage.  The sanitary and storm drainage systems of a structure shall be entirely separate except where the structure is served by a combined public sewer system.  The storm building drain and the sanitary building drain shall remain separate through the exterior walls of the building.  Where a combined public sewer is utilized, the building storm drain shall be connected in the same horizontal plane through a single-wye fitting to the combined sewer, not less than 10 feet (3048 mm) downstream from any soil stack, and downstream of any backwater valve.  Where the connection is in public space or when the size of either drain is 8 inches in diameter or larger, the combination shall be made with a manhole in lieu of a single-wye.
