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.
Enclosed is a copy of the report and transmittal letter to be forwarded to the project owner.
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
Depaitment of Labor and Industry 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 state plumbing standards representative for your region, or call Jim Peterson at 651/284-5889.
REQUIREMENT(S):
1. Verify that the existing water supply and waste systems are sized to accommodate the added fixtures (see
Minnesota Rules, part 4715.3700 and part 4715.2310). Please note that the co-op adds 108 drainage fixture
units to the existing 4-inch sanitary piping and a maximum of 160 drainage fixture units can be served by a
4-inch sanitary branch.
2. Changes in direction in drainage piping must be made by appropriate use of wyes and bends. Sanitary tees
are not allowed where the direction of flow changes from either vertical to horizontal or horizontal to
horizontal (see Minnesota Rules,part 4715.2410).
3. The minimum size for underground waste pipe shall be 2 inches in diameter(see Minnesota Rules,
part 4715.2350).
This information can be provided to you in alternative formats(Braille,large print or audio).

4. Double wyes may not be used for drainage fittings in the horizontal position (see Minnesota Rules,
part 4715.2420, subpart 3). Proper pipe slope cannot be maintained on both of the offset branches. Verify
that a double wye fitting in the horizontal position is not used for the sanitary branches serving the floor
drains near the Food Bar.
5. Vent connections serving floor drains, floor sinks, and trench drains must be taken off above the centerline
of the pipe and must rise vertically, or within 45 degrees of the vertical, to a point at least 6 inches above the
floor before offsetting horizontally(see Minnesota Rules,part 4715.2540, subpart 2). Verify that code
compliant vents are provided for the vented floor drain in the produce section and for the vented floor drain
near the Food Bar. Refer to the enclosed Venting of Floor Drains handout for additional information.
6. Floor drains which receive substantial amounts of liquid waste must be individually vented in accordance
with Minnesota Rules,part 4715.2620 and part 4715.1300, subpart 4.
7. Cleanouts shall be of the same nominal size as the pipes they serve up to 4 inches in size(see Minnesota
Rules,part 4715.1010). A cleanout must be installed where there is an increase in pipe size from 2 inches to
3 inches and from 3 inches to 4 inches.
8. Each horizontal drain branch, including floor drain branches, shall be provided with a cleanout at its upper
terminal with the following exceptions (see Minnesota Rules,part 4715.1000):
a. A fixture trap or a fixture with an integral trap,readily removable without disturbing concealed piping,
may be accepted as a cleanout equivalent for this purpose.
b. A floor drain cleanout may be omitted if the floor drain or fixture branch line is less than 5 feet in
length.
c. Floor drains used for shower drains,recessed slop, or similar receptors may have the full-sized
cleanout installed on the individual vent pipe serving the fixture or on the fixture.
9. All pot, scullery, food prep, and bar sinks must be provided with a floor drain on the individual drainage
branch serving each sink.This floor drain, or tell-tale drain,must not be equipped with a backwater valve
(see Minnesota Rules,part 4715.1390, subpart 2). Verify that a tell-tale drain is provided for the
two-compartment sink in the Produce Prep Room.
10. A single 2-inch trap and waste may serve the three-compartment sink if the trap is located not more than
30 inches from each compartment outlet(see Minnesota Rules,part 4715.0900). Locating the trap beneath
the center compartment will meet this requirement in most instances. Pot or scullery sinks must be provided
with waste outlets not less than 2 inches in diameter(see Minnesota Rules,part 4715.1390, subpart 1).
11. Water closets in public bathrooms must have elongated bowls with open-front seats, except round bowls
with closed-front seats may be used in residential or dwelling-type occupancies(see Minnesota Rules,
part 4715.1420). The maximum water volume per flush of a floor-mounted water closet shall be 1.6 gallons.
Water closets shall comply with American National Standards Institute A112.19.6 (see Minnesota Statutes,
Section 326B.43, subd.4).
12. In all buildings other than dwellings, shutoff valves shall be installed which permit the water supply to all
equipment in each separate room or to each individual fixture to be shut off without interference with the
water supply to any other room or portion of the building(see Minnesota Rules,part 4715.1800, subpart 6).

13. Several capped and valved cold water pipes will be provided,without backflow preventers, for future
connections to coffee makers or other equipment. Please note that when the equipment is provided,water
supply connections to fixtures or equipment which have submerged inlets, or inlets below the spill line of
the fixture or equipment, must be provided with an air gap arrangement, approved backflow preventer or
backflow preventer assembly as specified in Minnesota Rules,part 4715.2000 and part 4715.2010.
14. Materials used for the plumbing system shall comply with the standards set forth in the Minnesota Plumbing

a. The installation of the chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC)water distribution pipe must be in
accordance with International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) Installation
Standards 20-98 (see Minnesota Rules,part 4715.0520).
b. The hubless cast iron pipe used for the drain,waste,and vent piping must comply with ASTM

part 4715.0600. Above-grade horizontal runs of plastic waste and vent pipe cannot exceed 35 feet in
total length. Above-grade vertical stacks constructed of plastic pipe may exceed 35 feet in total height
only if an approved expansion joint is used.
15. The installation of cross-link polyethylene (PEX)tubing was specified for the water distribution system. If
all of the following requirements cannot be met, a different material that complies with Minnesota Rules,
part 4715.0520 must be used:
