Question: I don't know if anyone can help but if so it will be greatly appreciated. I posted previously about the lack of proper sleeving used on the copper pipe in my slab. In talking to the state board of licensing I am told that in the non-incorporated areas of the state of Texas in 1998 that the plumber had the option of using the following 3 codes: The Southern Standard Plumbing Code, Uniform Plumbing Code and the National Standard Plumbing Code. Can anyone tell if all or any of them allowed this practice or did they all require "minimum 25 mil" sleeving or similar?
Answer: -In 1998-Texas-nonincorporated areas, there was no state building or plumbing code. Only incorporated areas had building codes. If the home was "in-the-county" there were no building or plumbing codes that could be legally enforced unless a code was specified in the contract between the contractor and owner. -I'd say that would be county-dependent... some counties in (even) TX had county-wide zoning/codes by 1998?
