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.
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 State Health
Department when the installation will be ready for a test and inspection. To schedule inspections, contact the
state plumbing standards representative for your region, or call the metro office at 1-800-926-6216, or
Gary Topp at 651/215-0841.
