Where are the requirements for water heaters detailed in the UPC?

The requirements for water heaters are detailed in Section 5 of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC). This section specifically outlines the essential criteria regarding the installation, maintenance, and operation of water heating systems. It includes information on safety standards, temperature controls, and venting requirements, which are crucial for ensuring safe and effective water heater performance.

This section is structured to address various types of water heating systems, including tankless, storage, and solar water heaters, ensuring that all installations are up to code. Understanding these requirements is vital for plumbing professionals to ensure compliance with safety regulations and to avoid potential hazards associated with improper water heater installation.

The other sections do not specifically focus on water heaters, which means they will not provide the detailed guidance needed regarding their regulation and standards.
