KCC §14-3.6

Securing Plumbing in Flood-Proofed Buildings

Read the official text at ecode360.com ↗

This rule applies to buildings on stilts in special flood areas. It says the plumbing pipes under these buildings must be firmly attached so they don't move or float away during a flood. The pipes also need to be protected from damage by floodwater and debris, either by enclosing them in a structure or attaching them to a large structural member.
