A friend called a few months ago and was very excited. He let me know the plastic pipe limitations in southern Nevada had been removed. “Isn’t this wonderful. Hallelujah!” he said.
The Southern Nevada Code Amendments are used in Las Vegas and Clark County. Until the latest edition of the amendments, plastic pipe was limited to buildings of combustible construction. In building code language, that means Type III, IV and V construction — buildings three or possibly four stories in height or less. The limitation applied to plastic water piping and plastic drain/waste/vent piping.
