International Plumbing Code

As Hydro's chemical dispensers fulfill ASSE 1055 requirements and consequently, meet IPC standards, our equipment is acceptable from a plumbing regulatory standpoint anywhere the IPC is adopted.

The International Plumbing Code (IPC) is written by the International Code Council (ICC). The 2003 Code states:

2003 International Plumbing Code / Chapter 6 Water Supply and Distributions / Section 608 Protection of Potable Water Supply / 608.13 Backflow Protection / 608.13.9 Chemical Dispenser Backflow Devices

608.13.9 Chemical Dispenser Backflow Devices

Backflow devices for chemical dispensers shall comply with ASSE1055 or shall be equipped with an air gap fitting.
