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 Midwest Plumbing&Heating.
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
