Date Received: June 12, 2002, May 7, 2002
Date Reviewed: July 1, 2002
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.
A set of the identified plans and specifications is being returned to Carl E. Johnson Mechanical Contractors.
Enclosed is a copy of the report and transmittal letter to be forwarded to the project owner.
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 Minnesota
Department of Health when an installation for a state contract job, licensed facility, or project in an area where
there is no local administrative authority is ready for an inspection and test. To schedule inspections, contact the
state plumbing standards representative for your region, or call the metro office inspection hotline at 1-800-926-

REQUIREMENT(S):
1. The building drain shall be at least 5 inches between the meat preparation sink and building sewer.
2. The installation of reduced pressure zone backflow preventers is permitted only when periodic testing is
done by a trained backflow preventer tester acceptable to the administrative authority. Testing intervals
shall not exceed one year, and records must be kept. All devices must be tested after initial installation to
assure that debris from the piping installation has not interfered with the functioning of the device. The
devices shall be overhauled at least once every five years. The installation of new backflow preventers must
be at least 12 inches, but not more than 6 feet above the finished floor or ground level.
3. Potable and nonpotable water lines shall be tagged and labeled in accordance with Minnesota Rules,
