As provided in Minnesota Statutes, sections 326B.43 and 326B.52, the Minnesota Plumbing Code applies to all new plumbing installations performed anywhere in the state, including additions, extensions, alterations, and replacements.
All plumbing materials and plumbing systems or parts thereof must be installed to meet the minimum provisions of this code.
In existing buildings or premises in which plumbing installations are to be altered, renovated, or replaced, the new materials and work must meet the provisions of this code. If the administrative authority finds that the full performance of bringing the work into compliance with all requirements of this code would result in exceptional or undue hardship by reason of excessive structural or mechanical difficulty, or impracticability, a deviation may be granted by the administrative authority only to the extent the deviation can be granted without endangering the health and safety of the occupants and the public.
