Current through June 24, 2024
(1) GENERAL. When designing a plumbing
				  system, due consideration shall be given to sizing, working pressure,
				  temperature and material, compatibility of a plumbing system with the water and
				  wastewater to be conveyed, and the environment in which the plumbing system is
				  to be installed.

				  AND VENT SYSTEMS AND POWTS INSPECTION AND OBSERVATION PIPING. Sanitary drain
				  systems and vent systems and POWTS inspection and observation piping shall be
				  of such material and workmanship as set forth in this subsection.

				  pipe.
Except as provided in s.
				  SPS
				  382.33 (2), drain pipe and vent pipe
				  installed above ground shall conform to one of the standards listed in Table
				  384.30-1.
(b)
Underground
				  drain and vent pipe.
Except as provided in par. (d), drain pipe and
				  vent pipe installed underground shall conform to one of the standards listed in
				  Table 384.30-2.
(c)
Sanitary building sewer pipe.
Sanitary building sewer pipe
				  shall conform to one of the standards listed in Table 384.30-3.
(d)
Treated wastewater
				  piping.
1. Nonpressurized,
				  nonperforated drain piping conveying treated wastewater from a POWTS treatment
				  or holding component to a POWTS treatment or holding component, distribution
				  cell or dispersal zone shall conform to one of the standards listed in Table
				  384.30-3.
2. Nonpressurized
				  perforated drain piping conveying treated wastewater in a POWTS soil treatment
				  or dispersal component shall conform to one of the standards listed in Table
				  384.30-4.
3. Pressurized perforated
				  drain piping conveying treated wastewater in a POWTS treatment or dispersal
				  component shall conform to one of the standards listed in Table 384.30-5 and
				  shall be perforated in accordance with the POWTS design.
(e)
Pressurized drain pipe.
Except as provided in par. (d) 3., pressurized drain pipe shall conform to one
				  of the standards listed in Table 384.30-5 and shall be rated for the working
				  pressure and temperature to which it will be subjected for a specific
				  installation.
(f)
Chemical
				  drain and vent pipe.
Drain systems and vent systems for chemical
				  wastes shall be of approved corrosion resistant material. The manufacturer of
				  the pipe shall indicate to the department the material's suitability for the
				  concentrations of chemicals involved.
(g)
Catch basins, interceptors and
				  sumps.
Catch basins, interceptors and sumps shall be constructed in a
				  watertight manner of precast reinforced concrete, reinforced monolithic
				  concrete, cast iron, coated 12-gauge steel, vitrified clay, fiberglass, plastic
				  or other approved materials.
(h)
Manholes.
Manholes shall be constructed in a watertight manner
				  of precast reinforced concrete, reinforced monolithic concrete, brick or block,
				  fiberglass or other approved materials. Fiberglass manholes may be approved for
				  use in traffic areas if the top section of the manhole is not made of
				  fiberglass.
(i)
Service
				  suction lines.
A service suction line or pump discharge line serving a
				  holding tank for cleaning purposes shall conform to one of the standards listed
				  in Table 384.30-5. Joints and connections for suction lines shall conform to s.
				  SPS
				  384.40. The use of mechanical joints shall be in
				  accordance with the recommendations and instructions specified by the
				  manufacturer.
(j)
POWTS
				  inspection and observation pipe.
A POWTS inspection and observation
				  pipe shall conform to at least one of the standards listed in Table 384.30-1.
