JLC ??JANUARY 1993
As a contractor in California,
I have the dubious pleasure
of conforming to some of
the strictest code interpretations in
the country. Builders and remodelers
here comply with Title 24, a
collection of recent model codes
amended by various state agencies
with current seismic, safety, energy,
accessibility, and other requirements.
The result is codes that are
often more restrictive than what's
published by the model code organizations.
I also think it's just a
matter of time before building
codes become as strict in other
states.
The 1992 version of Title 24, as
it relates to bathrooms, is based on
the Uniform Building Code
(UBC), published by the International
Conference of Building Officials.
Plumbing requirements are
adapted from the International
Association of Plumbing
