Notes:
1 Indirect waste receptors shall be sized based on the total drainage capacity of the fixtures that drain therein to, in accordance with UPC Table 702.2(b).
2 Provide a 2-inch (50 mm) miniraura drain.
3 For refrigerators, coffee urns, water stations, and similar low demands.
4 For commercial sinks, dishwashers, and similar moderate or heavy demands.
5 Buildings having a clothes-washing area with clothes washers in a battery of three or more clothes washers shall be rated at 6-fixture units each for purposes of sizing common horizontal and vertical drainage piping.
6 Trap sizes shall not be increased to the point where the fixture discharge is capable of being inadequate to maintain their self-scouring properties.
7 Assembly [See Minnesota Rules, chapter 1305, International Building Code].
Notes
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
