The 2014 Edition of the Oregon Plumbing Specialty Code (OPSC) represents a custom plumbing code published for the state. This code will be updated with the recent 2014 Oregon amendments and the 2011 Oregon Plumbing Code which is based on the 2009 Uniform Plumbing Code. Provisions contained in the OPSC provide minimum standards to safeguard life or limb, health, property and public welfare. It also protects against hazards that may arise from the use of plumbing piping and systems by regulating and controlling the design, construction, installation, quality of materials, location and operation of plumbing piping systems within the State of Oregon.
