This is an online continuing education course for Journeyman & Master Plumbers, Journeyman & Master Restricted Plumbers, Utility Contractors, Commercial Plumbing Inspectors, UDC-Plumbing Inspectors and Cross Connection Control Testers licensed in the State of Wisconsin. It is designed to offer a comprehensive overview of the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (SPS) Chapter 381 (Definitions and Standards) and Chapter 384 (Plumbing Products) of the Wisconsin Plumbing Code, providing plumbers and non-plumbers with an in-depth understanding of its structure, purpose, and practical application.
This online interactive video presentation covers key definitions, sections, examples, and tables from Chapters SPS 381 and SPS 384 of the Wisconsin Plumbing Code. The course is divided into two parts:
Part I provides a comprehensive overview of Chapter SPS 381, which establishes the foundational terminology and standards used throughout the Wisconsin Plumbing Code. Participants will explore essential definitions related to plumbing systems, drainage, water supply, backflow prevention, wastewater treatment, and fixture units. The presentation emphasizes how standardized terminology ensures consistent interpretation, proper enforcement, and accurate application of code requirements in design, installation, and inspection scenarios.
Part II focuses on Chapter SPS 384, which governs the quality, approval, listing, and installation of plumbing materials, fixtures, appliances, appurtenances, and equipment. Participants will review department approval procedures, product submission requirements, referenced standards, and third-party certification processes. The course highlights how compliance with SPS 384 ensures product safety, performance reliability, and protection of public health and the waters of the state.
This online interactive video presentation is intended primarily for plumbers and other technical personnel who are interested in learning more about plumbing definitions, standards and products of plumbing systems.
