Since the removal of section 704.5 in 2009, what code is other jurisdictions using to enforce the installation of dead end pipes
The 2003 IPC
Chapter 2: DEAD END. A branch leading from a soil, waste or vent pipe;
a building drain; or a building sewer, and terminating at a developed
length of 2 feet (610 mm) or more by means of a plug, cap
or other closed fitting.
The 2003 IPC
704.5 Dead ends. In the installation or removal of any part of a
drainage system, dead ends shall be prohibited. Cleanout extensions
and approved future fixture drainage piping shall not
be considered as dead ends.
I am not sure but, it is in the 2012 Virginia Residential Code. P3005.1.5
Also look at 704.4 in 2009 IPC. Doesn’t address it as a dead end but, resembles end of definition
