Ontario, California — IAPMO® encourages all members and industry representatives to review the proposed code changes for the 2027 National Standard Plumbing Code™ (NSPC) and attend the NSPC public hearing, Aug. 14, in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The NSPC Committee accepted proposals for changes to the 2024 NSPC from July 1, 2024, through Feb. 28, 2025. Changes approved at the August hearing will appear in the 2027 NSPC. The NSPC Committee reviews the code annually and updates it on a three-year cycle.
The proposed changes for the 2027 NSPC will be available to the public for downloading and viewing after June 15 at www.iapmo.org/NSPC. No hard copies of the proposed changes will be available at the public hearing; interested parties are encouraged to download the file.
The public hearing for review of the proposed code changes for the 2027 NSPC will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT Aug. 14 at the Caesars Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City.

IAPMO encourages its members and other interested parties to be involved in the code development process. Designed to ensure the proper installation of plumbing systems, the NSPC provides local and state governments, code administrative bodies and the industry with a modern code to protect public health, safety and welfare.
“The NSPC continues to serve the plumbing industry with minimum requirements that reflect current practices,” said NSPC Chairman Thomas Pitcherello. “A wide range of diverse interest groups from contractors, inspectors, manufacturers, engineers, and labor have contributed to the development of the NSPC, making it a vital state code for New Jersey and the testing code authority for master plumbers and inspectors since 1977.”
