The use of piping for plumbing, fire
protection, and for the transport of hazardous materials may be
subject to the provisions of a code and/or to those of local, state,
federal, or other regulations.
All the major model plumbing codes
which have become adopted, or referenced, by state and local
jurisdictions permit and prescribe to a varying but fairly extensive
degree the use of plastics piping for hot-cold water lines; water
services; drain, waste, and vents (DWV); sewerage; and drainage.
Plastics piping is also covered by
other codes, such as the following which are of interest to
industrial users:
