PHCC Wrote the Book: The National Standard Plumbing CodePHCC-National Association published the Standard Plumbing Code in 1933 and furnished revised editions until 1942. The association participated in the development of special standards for wartime plumbing work. PHCC was later represented on the National Standard Code Coordinating Committee, whose work ultimately resulted in the adoption of A40.8 as a standard or model plumbing code in 1955. In 1971, the PHCC-National Association published the National Standard Plumbing Code (NSPC) in order to provide local and state governments, code administrative bodies and industry with a modern code, designed to ensure the proper installation of plumbing sustems. It has been maintained on a yearly basis, following the proven basic principles necessary to protect public health and safety.
